Geekuni

I recently completed a Perl course and found it to be an excellent introduction to this powerful scripting language. The course covered a wide range of topics, from basic syntax and data types to more advanced concepts like regular expressions. Overall,... Read More I highly recommend this Perl course to anyone looking to learn a versatile and widely-used scripting language. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced programmer looking to expand your skill set, this course has something to offer. I feel much more confident in my ability to write effective Perl scripts, and I look forward to applying these new skills to real-world projects.

I found Geekuni's Perl course to be an excellent way to learn the programming language. The content was comprehensive, the instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, and the practical focus helped me apply what I learned. The flexibility of the online... Read More format made it very enjoyable for me. I feel like I have a great working knowledge of Perl now and I'm ready to succeed. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning Perl.

Despite its humble appearance, GeekUni is a very powerful learning tool that got me up to speed in Perl in about 2 weeks. I got the most benefit from the immediate feedback and hand-tailored exercises. After you ssh into the lesson environment, GeekUni... Read More automatically updates your directories as you go through the various lessons and allows you to run commands within the website. This course was very efficient in teaching the fundamentals of Perl and gave many opportunities to use and practice what we learned. The project towards the end was also a great way of wrapping everything up and testing our grasp of all concepts.

The course is well designed and covers all the basics you require to begin your journey coding in Perl. The exercises are fun way of learning while getting hands-on. That should be the way to learn any programming language!! Also, Mr. Andrew is quick... Read More to reply to your queries which is always encouraging for a student. And the course is up-to-date and also provides information of stuff that has been deprecated which is really great!!

The perl class paralleled other coding classes, so it was easy to follow. The student server to code on your own machine was great to build transferable skills. It balanced giving the information directly and sending the student to documentation. The... Read More exams at the end also challenge skills specific to perl rather than general coding skills.

I attended Perl Essentials course . I had no prior knowledge of Perl but had knowledge of Bash, Java, Python. This course familiarises you with the distinctiveness and power of Perl in a step by step by manner. It follows the best approach of learning... Read More by applying. It gives you the environment, tools to debug, understand the concepts, errors. Also provides you the mentor's guidance at each step. It is a perfect course for starters to get comfortable with Perl and its nuances.

The course delivery method is unlike anything I've ever seen, it's extremely hands-on which made all the information stick very quickly. I was challenged to proactively learn and fight my way through the exercises and use logic to solve issues and bugs... Read More which is basically software development and what you'll end up doing in the real job! I wish more courses would use the same methodology, it's very intuitive and exciting. Keeps you coming back for the next challenge! Note: If you like listening to music while coding, this course is simply perfect for you.

This course did a great job summarising the fundamentals of the Perl programming languages before testing the students knowledge with helpful examples. The tutor bot provided helpful error messages to assist with compiler errors which allowed students... Read More to debug and complete exercises. The instructor was quick to respond to any questions which is always important in a course like this when you need a nudge. The issues I had with the course were mostly editing the code. The fullscreen option did not work on my chrome browser as it would only be about 1/3 size of the screen. Working in a text editor from a shell had a delay for updating to geekuni which would eat some time and cause minor frustrations if you run the code before it fully updates. The actual content of the course was excellent as it seemed to follow in flow with how the creators of the Perl documentation (and the creator of Perl) wanted you to learn it. My most difficult subject was references within Perl and I would've liked if there was a little bit more practice for the basics on that topic before jumping into projects (i.e. practice dereferencing array of hash references and other complex data structures). Other than that, I think further reading should be listed as pre-requisite reading at the top but that's me nitpicking. Overall, one of the best programming language training courses I have taken as it highlights the strengths (and weaknesses) of Perl. We got to ingest datasets and utilize CPAN and google API's which was fun and interesting. Would recommend geekuni courses.

The course is well organised, and learning through practice questions make things easier to understand. And the support when you get stuck is amazing. The tutor bot explanation for failing a test case could be improved. But overall very informative and... Read More must for beginners.

One of the most active courses out there. Gives an excellent start to learning perl to novice developers. Exercises require good amount of concentration and completing each topic certainly increases confidence in those topics. I was able to pick up perl... Read More related tasks in my company, just 2 weeks after starting this course and was comfortably able to read perl code in our company codebase. Highly recommend!
