Kirk Brown is a jack-of-all-trades Internet Engineer who firmly believes that you must love what you do in order to do it well.
Experience:
Since 1996, Kirk has worked in every facet of the Internet, cobbling solutions to virtual problems out of Perl, PHP, Ruby and Python. He designed and built systems for national Internet media companies, performed system administration for both worldwide video game publishers, and helped tiny start-ups get off the ground. He continues to code for his own enjoyment, for his private consulting company, and for Sun Microsystems MySQL Division.
From Kirk Brown:
Perl is a fantastically versatile language. From simple shell scripting to full-on web publishing and e-commerce systems like amazon.com, it has more than earned its nickname as "the duct tape of the Internet". Any system administrator or web guru should have at least some basic Perl in their toolkit - it will come in handy. Hopefully, exploring this topic will ignite or re-ignite a love for the many elegant and practical solutions offered by Perl.
