Perl Talk

BIT Extended Education Session Three: Regular Expressions and Perl

CO238, 5.45pm, Thursday 7/10/2004

It's not really a talk. More of a workshop, and an excuse for me to learn MagicPoint. Given to (and therefore, aimed at) 200 level BIT students late in the academic year.

What the BIT students were told:

> Tonights session is the same format as last weeks, (1hour then
> Break for Dinner, then another hour or so).
> 
> Donald Gordon will be taking you this week and will try and
> get through all the following:

> 
> * Regular Expressions
> ** what they are, how to use them
> ** task: write several :-)
> * Perl
> ** basic language syntax, data types, etc
> ** task: write a program to parse a text file and do
>          something useful with it
> * Using Perl Objects

> ** syntax
> ** CPAN
> ** the CGI module
> ** dbm stuff
> ** task: write a simple CGI script
> 
> 
> Reminder that you must be 200 level or above and
> qualify for Work Experience.. Session starts at
