- tutorial-like resources

flat spreadsheet / hierarchical / relational / object oriented
- a brief (minimal) theoretical intro with examples of structure and questions/queries - also (Funnel 2007, McGill Uni)

3. intro to Access - (basic relational db available as part of MS Office)
very instructional TUTORIAL - really click-by-click intro into designing creating, viewing, querying a relational database. (holowczak from Baruch College CUNY) with multiple screenshots.

4. designing and creating relational database - course/tutorial - looks comprehensible with multiple figures to describe problems with designing db, however some links broken (Newcastle 2004)
also some useful guides on software by administrators at Newcastle
eg access, excel, word, spss.
check using ACCESS and SPSS

5. Dilip´s brief intro to relationdal db (1998), schemes, screenshots + some syntax.

perl, intro, resources

perl
- program - originally developed to transform various dataformats
- useful for data manipulation
- esp. text manipulation by means of regular expressions
- web pages (amazon.com etc)
- cf data manipulation for Human Genome Project
-
- Bioperl - (manipulation and evaluation of genome sequence data)

can be downloaded free from activestate.com as ActivePerl

intro at perl.com, perl.org, where also a library with online books can be found
eg. beginning Perl by S. Cozens
at CPAN - official Perl site with comprehensive documentation-

intro text also here, helps to get first glimpse on the structure of perl + one gets acquainted with some terminology (variable types-scalar, array, hashes, references, subroutines, regular expressions), but not many "aha" feelings so far. however - nicely organized.

PERL INTRO + links to other INTROs and more
Broman´s page - reads very well

Perl code editors - syntax color coding, ....
FREE:
Perl Express - looks trustworthy - last update 2005?
Open Perl IDE looks like OptiPerl - from 2003+patch for Perl 5.8
Perl code editor - basic, webpage rather shabby

shareware
OPTIPERL intergrated environment - looks interesting
DZSoft Perl Editor
