Test Yourself: Perl - 100 Questions & Answers (Professional Reference Series)

Test Yourself: Perl is an interactive quizbook especially developed for the Kindle. It contains ten quizzes, each comprising ten questions with multiple choice answers. At the end of each quiz the user is provided with their score, feedback about areas to study and the opportunity to view the questions with their answers. The questions have been carefully chosen to highlight common programming pitfalls, provide memorable examples of programming topics and assist in preparation for external exams. The areas covered include loops, regular expressions, file I/O, subroutines, modules, arrays, hashes, command line options, debugging, database access and more ...

The quizzes in Test Yourself: Perl can be retaken as often as you like, and in any order. Each test is designed to take around twenty minutes for a proficient user. The feedback and answers give the user the opportunity to identify weak areas, focus on tricky points and deepen their understanding of the Perl programming language. Many questions include program extracts which can be worked through and run by the user on their own computer.

The Kindle does not currently support Javascript so it is important to follow the links provided in order to complete the quiz. Full instructions are given in a User Guide accessible at any point.

Note: Because of the nature of this Kindle book, the full interactive functionality is not available in sample mode. Downloading the sample only will allow you to see some of the questions but not to test yourself or receive feedback.
