volks,
{ my other OCD is formalization of systems.... }
so let's just be honest there are basically only three
levels of 'perl beginners' - although I am open to any
solid counter proposals. Adopting this standard may help
beginner's identify what their 'competency' level is.
a) pre-beginner
thinks that perl can solve some problem on a computer
b) beginner
wants specific details on how perl can solve a
specific problem on their computer
c) old-beginner
thinks they have a viable formalization on how to differenciate
between:
'scripting in perl' and 'coding in perl'
most likely will finally break down and own a copy of
the pocket reference guide to programming perl because
their dog eared copy of the first edition is starting
to show signs of age, and it's hard to read the 3rd edition
in the loo and code at the same time....
still has not been able to resolve all of their 'open
issues' from their childhood in perl - but thinks that
with just a few more lines of perl....
{ my only candidate beyond that would be
d) dead-beginners
persons who's metabolic rate makes their coding output
somewhat irradic, but they just are not going to give up
on trying to fix the problems with perl merely because someone
has stuffed them in the ground...
but most dead-beginners tend not to be as social as the rest...
