[Bioperl-l] advice

[Chris Fields]

This is a Bioperl list.  If you don't have a Bioperl-related  
question, you will very likely get testy replies.

I don't believe that you quite understand Torsten's response, so I'll  
just copy-and-paste from a reply I just gave a second ago to save  
myself the typing:



Hmm, beginner programmer, wants to learn perl?  Here are some  
directions:

http://learn.perl.org/

Start with Schwartz's latest incarnation of Learning Perl, then work  
your way up to Intermediate Perl (I think Mastering Perl is on the  
horizon...)

For some pointers using Perl and bioinformatics, pick up Tisdall's  
books Beginning/Mastering Perl for Bioinformatics.

This is really a list for bioperl, not perl and bioinformatics  
(thought the two cross here all the time!).  We normally don't mind  
answering questions but we typically don't do people's homework  
unless we're unusually bored.  And we can be excessively cranky when  
someone repeatedly posts requests for something that shouldn't take  
much reading and Googling to find out.  Again, we're not into that  
homework gig, i.e. 'walking you through it' is tantamount to 'doing  
it for you.'


For your particular instance, you might want to brush up on web  
services, CGI, and a little web etiquette.

I think you may be waiting for a long time for a reply!
