Requirements

Having basic notions of scripting can help, but the course starts from scratch
Download and install Perl development environment (if you don't know how, don't worry, it's very easy, free and I'll explain it to you in the course!)
A decent computer and of course, desire to learn!

Description

Become a Perl progamming professional and learn one of employer's most requested skills nowadays!

This comprehensive course is designed so that students, IT enthusiasts, programmers, computer scientists, data analyists, engineers... can learn Perl Progamming language from scratch to use it in a practical and professional way. Never mind if you have no experience in the topic, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with total mastery of the subject.

After several years working in IT, we have realized that nowadays mastering Perl language is very necessary for text manipulation and data processing tasks, making it a valuable tool for any IT operator or student. Knowing how to use this language can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits, especially in the world of the data science and analysis.

The big problem has always been the complexity to perfectly understand Perl Scripting it requires, since its absolute mastery is not easy. In this course we try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, so that you will be able to carry out and understand your own script projects in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step and detailed examples of every concept.

With almost 12 exclusive hours of video and 64 lectures, this comprehensive course leaves no stone unturned! It includes both practical exercises and theoretical examples to master Perl Script. The course will teach you Perl Programming in a practical way, from scratch, and step by step.

We will start with the installation and setup of Perl environment on your computer, regardless of your operating system and computer.

Then, we'll cover a wide variety of topics, including:

Introduction to Perl programming language and course dynamics
Download and Install Perl latest version and configuring it
General familiarization with the work environment and commands
Introduction to Perl scripting
Basic Syntax and Control Structures
Subroutines and Basic File Handling
Regular Expressions and Modules
Error Handling and Intermediate File Handling
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Perl
Advanced Data Structures, multidimensional Arrays and Hashes
Database Programming with Perl
CGI Programming and Web Development with Perl
Mastery and application of absolutely ALL the functionalities of Perl Programming
Quizzes, Practical exercises, complete projects and much more!

In other words, what we want is to contribute our grain of sand and teach you all those things that we would have liked to know in my beginnings and that nobody explained to me. In this way, you can learn to build a wide variety of programming projects quickly and make versatile and complete use of Perl. And if that were not enough, you will get lifetime access to any class and we will be at your disposal to answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.

Learning Perl Programming has never been easier. What are you waiting to join?
