Power of Perl :: Learn Basic and Advanced Perl Programming

Description

Perl stands for Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. It was developed in 1987 by Larry Wall, and it has evolved over time. It’s a High-Level Scripting Language supporting powerful regular expressions. 

• It starts with a video on how to get a working Perl setup and progresses on to discuss very basic concepts in the beginning. Moving further, it sheds light on more advanced Perl constructs and capabilities, which are more useful and relevant to the present day Industry. 
• It's pretty hands-on course where each line of the code is discussed in-depth and impact of change in any line of the code is shown real-time on a Perl Interpreter.
• Perl is used extensively in the Digital VLSI industry. It’s used across multiple verticals - Design, Design Verification, Automation, CAD, Tools, etc. and hence this course is useful for anyone and everyone looking to learn about (or enhance) Perl, and land a Job in the Industry (Semiconductor or IT)

• Regular Expressions, 
• File Read and Write Operations, 
• Excel SpreadSheet Read and Write Operations, 
• Interfacing with MSSQL databases, 
• Generating HTML formatted content, and 
• Creating/Using Perl Modules
