Unix and Perl Primer

By dgohara at Thu, Aug 6 2009 2:05pm |

The title of the page that I'm link to is actually, "A Unix and Perl Primer for Biologists." But this is generally useful information so people outside of biology may find many hidden gems in it. Keith Bradnam has generously made available on the internet materials he and his colleague used for teaching an introductory course on Unix and Perl this summer.

For those of you looking to get familiar with a scripting language, this will probably be of interest to you. With the following note from their site: "The course is very much aimed at people with no prior experience in either programming or Unix."

Unix and Perl primer

I just wanted to say briefly how useful this document has been. I will definitely be referring colleagues to it.
