I've brought up the "Raspberry Pi" project here a couple times already and finally got my "RPi" a week ago. I've also mentioned I use a simple MVC sort of framework to create small web based apps.
So, I've been working on an example web based app that demonstrates pretty much how I've been doing things lately, it's a simple note pad app for beginners to play with. I put the app and code on my Linux web server here: http://www.raspberryperl.com My goal is to give beginners some code that's configured to run on the raspberry pi and simple enough to understand that they can start twiddling with it right off the bat. I'd like to take them a step at a time through the process of building an app, adding features along the way that they might use in the real world. This app isn't ready for that yet, but it's a start, and I intend to keep working on it. Since I've not had the pleasure of either a formal education, nor working with anyone writing perl who has, it's possible, even likely, that I'm doing something obviously wrong that beginners would not benefit from. Then again, maybe not. "There's more than one way to do it" and this way works for me, but if anyone here would like to go over the code and critic it, and offer some suggestions on improving it so beginners might learn more (and better), I'm all for it. I'm an old dog, but if I have to learn a few new tricks to get this right I'll buck up and learn them. I'll gladly make changes and add credits to the code. If you'd like to help build on this example, or contribute your own examples, lessons, and projects to the site, that would be great. BTW, the little raspberry pi is pretty darn cool. It's really a perfect sandbox to start playing in with perl. In fact, it may be perfect for developing perl since you can change out the entire system, configured for a single project, with a $6 SD card. I'm having a great time playing and learning with mine!
