Advanced Perl Programming
Course Description
This course aims to show you more advanced capabilities of Perl such as Object Oriented programming, Graphical User applications, advanced web programming, network sockets and threading. The course is aimed at those people who
have had a good grounding in Perl programming and would like to extend it into modern day programming principles, or require to build graphical applications for systems.
The course work is based around a 40/60 approach to lecture and hands on giving the attendee the chance to really work with the system and see its potential. Where possible, the practicals will use real world examples
and useful starting code that can be integrated into new or existing projects.
