Why learn Perl?

The Perl programming language was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in the 1980s, and was originally named “C with classes”. The language was planned as an improvement on the C programming language, adding features based on object-oriented programming. Thus at School of IT the Perl programming course is designed for you to learn Perl practically by building a practical portfolio of relevant industry projects. At School of it we offer:

• An intro Perl course (for the fundamentals),
• An advanced Perl course (more intermediate and advanced C++ concepts),
• A Software Development course in Perl (which includes intro, intermediate and advanced Perl concepts).
• Software Engineering course in Perl and 1 other programming language (which includes intro, intermediate and advanced of the 2 programming languages).
