I read Learn Perl in 24 Hours. I did the exercises in the book, and I wrote
a couple web pages where you could submit a text file that would be posted
onto the web (i.e. joke of the day sites). I've written scripts that have
taken
files of lists of labels, compared them, then built a list of the ones that
were
in one an not the other file. I thought that qualified me as a beginner.
Then
I join this group, and I get discussions of regexes and XML, etc. I have
no idea what a regex is! What books have you guys (who I assume are
beginners too, since that's the name of this board) been reading? Turn
me into a beginner too!
