I have been teaching Perl for 25 years (and Python and Rust for a shorter period of time). Most of my courses were geared towards corporations and they are 3-4-5 days long, 8 hours a day covering a lot of subjects. Today it seems we need very short and very focused courses. So I am splitting my long courses into subject and will run those mini-courses. The first 3 I've announced are about Object Oriented Programming in Perl, Functional Programming in Python, and Creating a command line tool in Rust. Check out if any of these courses would be interesting to you or to some of your co workers! If you have question, send me an email.

Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Day of the Year" and "Decompressed List" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.

by Adam Russell

Well-commented, educational, and test-driven structure. Offers neat and idiomatic Perl solutions that avoid overengineering.

by Ali Moradi

The solutions are clear, concise, and make good use of Perl's standard modules and operators. The second task uses manual iteration, which is easy to follow and avoids recursion or map-heavy constructs.

by Arne Sommer

Solutions are succinct, leveraging Raku's expressive standard library. Emphasizes type and input validation in the signature, promoting reliability.

by Jaldhar H. Vyas

The post is well-written and shows how Raku and Perl handle the same problem with slight idiomatic differences.

by Jorg Sommrey

PDL offers elegant ways to handle list transformations via vectorized operations. The post illustrates a concise and advanced Perl style that values reuse and idiomatic tools.

by Luca Ferrari

The post not only provides solutions in various programming languages and database systems but also emphasizes the importance of maintaining coding skills and learning new technologies. It showcase the versatility of different languages and tools in solving the same problem, providing valuable insights for developers interested in exploring multiple programming environments.

by W Luis Mochan

Solutions are characterized by their simplicity and effective use of Perl's features. The clear explanations and well-structured code make the blog post a valuable resource for Perl enthusiasts.

by Matthias Muth

Concise and idiomatic Perl. Code is well structured and leverage robust date/time modules to avoid reinventing calendar logic.

by Packy Anderson (PACKY)

Emphasizes the use of core Perl modules (Time::Piece) to avoid reinventing date logic. Mentions best practices such as handling context carefully in the decompression task.

by Peter Campbell Smith

Clear demonstration of using CPAN modules to solve common problems. Concise, readable code snippets.

by Robbie Hatley

The solutions are complete and well-documented, providing clear explanations of the logic behind each step. It serves as an excellent resource for Perl programmers looking to improve their problem-solving skills and coding practices.

by Roger Bell West (FIREDRAKE)

Provides a comparative analysis of how different programming languages approach the same problems, highlighting the diversity in language features and libraries. The post serves as an insightful resource for programmers interested in exploring multiple solutions to common problems across various languages.

by Simon Green

It emphasizes the importance of using built-in functions for tasks like calculating the day of the year to avoid errors and simplify code. The solutions in both Python and Perl demonstrate clear and efficient approaches to the challenges.

by Simon Proctor

The solutions demonstrate Raku's expressive syntax and powerful built-in methods, leading to clean and efficient code. The inclusion of input validation and user-friendly comments further enhances the quality of the solutions.

by Walt Mankowski

The solution efficiently handles the decompression task using Perl's list manipulation features. Solutions are concise and demonstrate effective use of Perl's modules and list handling capabilities.

by Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes

Solutions are notable for their clarity and efficiency, demonstrating a deep understanding of Python's capabilities. Exploration of both standard library functions and mathematical approaches provides valuable insights for Python enthusiasts.
