I refrained from specific examples as I wanted the focus less on you the
teacher and more on the students. I see a need for something more basic
and different than what I've seen available. This is not to say what is
currently out there isn't good, just that I can see why people become
overwhelmed quickly and consider using something else.
My point in the exercise of trying to find good code to steal for the
lists site was that I have a lot more at my fingertips than most yet I
found the task challenging. I'm suggesting that perhaps a ruthlessly
pragmatic approach might be worthy of consideration.
>From what I can tell via statistics I keep, that CGI, LWP, Net and DBI are
far and away the most sought after modules and yet there are really few
CGI/DBI tutorials out there that get the potential user at least
generating a web page right off. People want to build web sites not
necessarily become fluent in Perl programming and that's not such a crime.
And Randal, after scanning your article index, I see lots of graphics
stuff including a catalog for photos, but nothing in the basic DBI/CGI
category.
