Its a magazine most of you here would not read, bacause it explaines most of the time basic perl stuff. But many of you, I suppose, care that there is a beginner friendly Perl publication, done by the passionate Gernot Havranek. So do I. Thatswhy i wrote 2 articles for this isssue. About Perl 5 references and one about Perl 6. Also Perl beginner have a right to have a broad overview what is perl 6 about and how it is going. I think I never summarized it in such simple terms before. Maybe that spark your interest? :) But its written in German, as the name suggest.
... don't necessarily mean it's only for beginners
On IRC for example, it's really interesting how different people explain Perl.
Spreading knowledge on basic topics common to the experienced programmer is fun because of a few reasons:
- Training: Specialize in whatever area one is able to apply and answer the specific problem/question
- Communication: Learning to speak in a language even people without any idea of programming can understand
- Marketing: Presenting Perl, modules and projects coming with an answer for the question
Well, that's at least my view and experience. After some years helping in this conscious manner I haven't lost my interest - the opposite happened... now I only need the time to do more.
