Pearl or Phython or ????
Try them both and see which one you like. I've spent more time with perl than
python, so I'm familiar with it's resources.
What resourse (books website etc.) would you recomend if I wanted to teach
myself? Or would you recomend me taking a class from some where?
For perl I recommend:
Books
Learning Perl, published by O'Reilly
Websites
http://learn.perl.org/
http://www.perlmonks.org
Mailing Lists
The perl beginners mailing list:
http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners
Local Groups
Omaha Perl Mongers: http://omaha.pm.org/
I'm sure there similar resources for python.
As far as books vs classes, it depends on you and the way you learn best. If
you are self teaching, I recommend picking a problem that you want to solve
and use your language of choice to solve it. Have fun!
