The ExpertRating Online Perl Programming Course
(leading to ExpertRating Perl Programming Skills
Certification).
Learn Perl, a powerful and easy-to-use scripting language used
on PCs, servers, and on the Internet for a wide range of
programming problems. Perl is as capable - and often as
fast - as C, C++, and Java, but is easier to learn and does
not require the sort of software development tools and environments
required by those languages. Perl is also more portable and supported
on a greater variety of computers than many other computing languages.
Perl programming skills are especially valuable for Web developers,
software developers, and system administrators.
This course includes a knowledgeable and caring instructor who will guide you through your lessons, facilitate discussions, and answer your questions. The instructor for this course will be Nathan Meyers.

Testimonials:
The ExpertRating Online Perl Programming Course has received
overwhelming positive feedback and reviews from students around the
world. Here are a few:
 "Although
work often takes away from concentrating more on the lessons, the
course presented me with immediately useful information. I intend to
keep these lessons as reference material when I continue with Perl
programming."
"Enjoyed
the course."
"I
enjoyed this course especially the writing style of the teacher. His
style showed a sense of humor and made the class fun. I could see
how it would be a great experience to be in his on-campus class if
it was possible. I appreciated his quick response to the questions I
posted."
"Instructor
was great. I'd love to take another of his classes."
"It
was a real honor to be your student this past month. I can't begin
to describe how eager I am to begin writing Perl codes of my own!
Your web pages have been easy to comprehend, full of powerful
information, and just plain fun! I'm very glad to have had you as my
instructor in learning Perl, and wouldn't have wanted anyone else.
Thanks again for a wonderful course!"
"I've
programmed computers for 40+ years in every language known to
mankind (OK, almost every language ...) and was self-taught in Perl
in order to do my job. This course was FANTASTIC in opening my eyes
to new ways to do things, tricks and hints and in explaining things
I just took on faith before enrolling here. The instructor's lessons
are great…clear, concise, easily readable. The quizzes and exams
were not 'gimme' types, but, instead, made you think….I'm excited
about the new knowledge I've added to my almost-full brain and
looking forward to utilizing Perl more and more as time goes on.
GREAT COURSE! GREAT INSTRUCTOR! FANTASTICALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!"
"Overall,
the course provided a good introduction to the topic and I would
like to learn more."
"This
is a really well organized class. I felt that the pacing was
excellent. I liked the examples and thought they demonstrated the
points well. The assignments were interesting and could be extended
by the student if they wanted to go further."
"This
is my first on-line/distance learning experience and I must say I'd
do it again. It was very convenient to be able to catch up with the
rest of the class even after being weeks behind. The instructor did
a superb job at organizing the material, selecting the examples, and
following up on the questions posted in the discussion areas. Great
job, Nathan! Thanks from a very satisfied customer."
"This
is my first programming course in class or online in any programming
language. Nevertheless, I feel that this course was presented at the
right level and detail. The quizzes and assignments were often
pretty challenging, but within reason and appropriate. Excellent job
- amazing what you can teach online!"
"This
was my first experience with an online course, and after this
positive experience I feel extremely motivated to take others. The
instructor did a fantastic job with this course. The lessons were
to-the-point without being too wordy and without being so strictly
factual as to give the feeling of swallowing a handful of dry milk
powder! I also liked the way the discussion questions were handled.
The instructor came across as being helpful and supportive without
making folks feel like dummies. I've taken countless classroom
courses from many differenet instructors (while obtaining my Masters
and PhD) and even taught a few classes myself (so I know it's not so
easy to be a successful teacher). I have to rate this class as one
of the best -- an excellent course by an excellent instructor, You
are lucky to have Prof Meyers!!"
