G+_egbie anderson Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 We all know that Perl is the next language to be dissected under the microscope. I wonder who they are going to use as their code warror. Maybe the creator of perl. Hey it just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lee Crocker Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Larry's a bit of an ubergeek, and doesn't relate well to humans. I'm sure (at least I hope) they'll grab Randall, who would do a fine job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darryl Medley Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hopefully they will be familiar with teaching beginners and provide appropriate examples and homework. There seemed to be a disconnect between hosts and expert during most of the Python sessions. Like Lee said before, the hosts should show the theory and then the expert expand on it with real-world examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lee Crocker Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Python was a problem because they had no expert. I'm sure Dale is good at something, but he was clearly not a Pythonista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darryl Medley Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think Dale's knowledge is sufficient for a show aimed at beginners. But he's not a teacher so I think he just needed to be told "We are covering XYZ this week. Please expand on this subject." Instead we got Padre giving us an intro to one thing and Dale giving us an intro to something else and the students left wondering what to work on. I think Padre realized this. I hope he has the time to work more closely with the Perl person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Timothy Suhr Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Maybe they will use the padre perl IDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tadeusz Cantwell Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I hope its Randall as well, he has lots of experience teaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darryl Medley Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Randal would be an interesting choice. If you watch Episode 10, at 46:15 he mentions having "yelled at the screen" while watching the show. I think he has some of the same concerns that some of us have. He could either be a force of change or conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
