[Bristolbathpm] First candidates have completed the B&BPM free Perlcourse

[Gareth Hopkins]

Hi Everyone

Having took the free course comming from a finance background, with basic 
webpage writing skills, but no real programming experience, I was interested 
to learn how perl works. Following the course I now want to learn more as 
the language is very versitile and I can see how it can be used to create 
many different applications. The topics the course covered gave a really 
good introduction to the language and it was free.

Thank you Lyle
