CIS653 Perl Programming and CGI Scripting
Perl is a common development language prevalent in industry and on the Internet today. This course is intended primarily for both professional and amateur developers who will find it useful in making the transition from compiled languages to understanding and using Perl, which is a ""scripting"" language. This hands-on course provides students the knowledge necessary to create Perl programs that deliver usable functionality for industry. Object oriented programming concepts are not required, as this course will remain primarily in the realm of 3rd generation structured programming and its related syntax. Students can then easily review the object-oriented concepts of Perl, which result primarily in changes to program and module packaging techniques, object-oriented concept application, and syntax changes. The course takes the student through the important concepts required to delineate Perl from other traditional programming languages. When the student has completed the course, the student should have a good idea of how to use Perl for general programming. Topics include creating stand-alone programs and programs that access data from a data source such as a relational database. Comprehensive labs reinforce learning and build competence incrementally throughout the course. Some prior software development experience is recommended.
