BEGINNING RAKU

A 2 Day Course

An Introduction to Raku in English or Norwegian.

Prior programming experience is required. Knowledge of Perl 5 is helpful, but not required.

My Perl6 In 45+45 Minutes presentation at the Nordic Perl Workshop in Oslo 2018 was based on an early version of this course.
