[dancer-users] Self Introduction

[David H]

Welcome Angela!

I have a getting started guide to Dancer2 here:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7dO3K-krrg

I plan to add some more videos eventually but hopefully that can get you
started if you are starting out with perl and/or Dancer/2.

There are many many resources online for using perl, the only advice I can
give is to avoid using http://perldoc.perl.org/ as I find it gives the most
terse, odd usage of functions in perl and never gives any basic usage. For
example, the first example for the split function is this:  print join(':',
split('b', 'abc')), "\n";

Whereas you go here:
http://perlmaven.com/perl-split
And you get a good usage example of split which is simple to understand and
easily readable.

In saying that, a good starting point for beginning perl would be here:
http://perlmaven.com/perl-tutorial

perlmaven explains things properly with real-world usage so I could highly
recommend it as a great starting point (and I quite often end there as
well!).
