If you’re a programmer, then you have likely heard about regular expressions (“regexps”) before. However, it’s also likely that you have tried to learn them, and have found them to be completely confusing. That’s not unusual; while regular expressions provide us with a powerful tool for analyzing text, their terse, dense, and cryptic syntax can make the effort not seem worthwhile.
On June 23rd, I’m going to be offering a one-hour free Webinar introducing regular expressions, showing how they can make your code more powerful and expressive.
While I’ll mostly be using Python, I’ll also show some other languages and platforms (e.g., Ruby, JavaScript, and the Unix “grep” command).
My demo and discussion will be about an hour long, and will be followed by ample time for Q&A. My previous Webinars have been lots of fun; I hope that you’ll join in! You can get (free) tickets at EventBrite.
And hey, if you’re an independent consultant, you can get a double dose of me on that same day; we Freelancers Show panelists will be doing our monthly Q&A just beforehand. Come and get your questions about consulting answered by our panel of experts!
I look forward to seeing you at one or both of these events! If you have any questions, you can e-mail me or contact me on Twitter as @reuvenmlerner.
