While all the action might be mostly between "you and your computer", we try to give
36+
you a feel that someone is guiding you in a real-world programming situation.
37+
You will be able to follow a train of thought from the first strategic decisions,
38+
to the selection process to find the most suitable Perl feature,
39+
then to the trying out of several ways to formulate it, up to the finishing edits
40+
of the implementation. Some evaluation helps you understand what has been achieved.
41+
42+
That sounds like lot of text - but we actually tried to keep it informative and concise -
43+
advancing with a rather fast pace. Therefore we encourage you to read a chapter or
44+
paragraph repeatedly, as long you feel like not fully understanding it. We think
45+
that is way better than having to work through boring passages. Links to detailed
46+
information will be provided on the spot needed.
47+
48+
The flip side of this practical, yet dense approach: you have to stick for the most
49+
part with the order of the content and won't be able to skip even several sentences.
50+
Because you might overlook this way an important feature, the next tho pages build upon.
51+
It is one program, that developes constantly from front to back. Some parts stay
52+
over long phases the same - other getting replaced quickly. While we strongly recommend
53+
to adapt the program to your wishes, you should be be aware that maintaining them
54+
through the whole tutorial might be a big extra task.
