(The word "Ebook" is used if it's available in a scalable version like epub or mobipocket; it should not be used for PDF, since that is a fixed format, which is not very readable on ebook readers).

#Legacy Tutorials

These are old Perl tutorials that are well written and good references for old versions, but should not be used by newcomers to learn Perl.

TODO

The site is not yet complete, here are some ideas of what we might want to do with it. Want to help? Stop by in the IRC channel or find out more about the code of the site on the [[about]] page.

  • In order to create free page links without breaking the repo on Windows the ikiwiki code needs to be adapted to encode page filenames and urls.
  • Country flags for the language?
  • Figure out how to structure tutorials/HOWTOs written on this site.
  • Add Reddit buttons to the tutorial tables.
  • A linkable button? "Learn Perl - Your Way" (see promotejs.com).
  • Needs a proper design.
  • Write an [[Tutorial Author Outreach/Email Template]] to be sent to tutorial authors explaining about perl-tutorial.org and inviting them to keep their entries updated.
  • Send aforementioned email out to authors, will need a [[Tutorial Author Outreach/Contact List]] to track who was sent them.
  • Add a jQuery hover tooltip that will show a more detailed description of a tutorial based on a YAML key.

Uncurated Tutorials

These tutorials have not yet been looked at in greater detail and thus remain unlinked. If you wish to help, please visit any of those links and add them with the appropriate information to one of the sections above.

Not Recommended

There is a large number of tutorials that cannot be recommended even as legacy tutorials. You can find these, along with their rejection reasons [[on their own page|rejected]].
