Shlomi Fish wrote in to tell about updates on the site for Perl beginners with which he's involved:

After the last news item, a lot of work was invested into Perl-Begin.org, the Perl Beginners' Site, making it even better than it used to be. Here's a summary of the changes:

• Several new topical pages were added:

  • Perl and Databases
  • GUI Development in Perl
  • Perl for XML Processing
  • Debugging
  • Object-oriented Programming in Perl
  • Using CPAN

• There's a new IDEs and tools page, featuring some Integrated Development Environments.

• A testimonials page was added, with some honest-to-God testimonial quotes which are now featured in the Testimonials side-bar.

• There's a new page sporting links to collections of blogs.

• A ShareThis button was added to the bottom of every page for easy bookmarking and sharing.

• Many writing errors (spelling, grammar, syntax, phrasing, etc.) have been corrected by Alan Haggai Alavi. He seems to have a good eye for catching such problems, and I am indebted to him.

• Corrected several broken links including those to Ovid's CGI course.

We hope you enjoy the new Perl Beginners' Site and please recommend it to your friends. All content on Perl-Begin is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence which allows almost unlimited re-use.
