Use the <a href="https://perl6.org/resources/">resources</a> to learn Perl 6 and <a href="http://pl6anet.org/">write</a> about your
experience along the way! Let us know when you do write something if you want to share it with the larger Perl 6 community (you should!).

Some writing topics could be programs you've written, tricks you've learned, cool things about the Perl 6, etc.
Because of your fresh perspective as a learner, writing educational/training material would be a great idea as well.
