Basics ... (Score:1)
... don't necessarily mean it's only for beginners ;-)
On IRC for example, it's really interesting how different people explain Perl.
Spreading knowledge on basic topics common to the experienced programmer is fun because of a few reasons:
- Training: Specialize in whatever area one is able to apply and answer the specific problem/question
- Communication: Learning to speak in a language even people without any idea of programming can understand
- Marketing: Presenting Perl, modules and projects coming with an answer for the question
Well, that's at least my view and experience. After some years helping in this conscious manner I haven't lost my interest - the opposite happened... now I only need the time to do more.
