189538 Anonymous 3 Need more restroom stalls. Always had to wait during break and there were no other restrooms available on the floor.

189533 832840 5 Yes - even things I will use at home
189532 827702 5 I'll now be able to have content-rich web pages with a lot of interactivity. The advanced perl topics have been very challenging and thought invoking: excellent reference to practice this stuff.

189530 823408 4 This is going to provide me with a godd starting block reference for what I want to do at my job.
189538 Anonymous 3 Quality of the manual could be improved. Better graphics than just photocopied cut and paste. Maybe bigger fonts. Index would be nice.

189531 823415 3 Print in book was too small. Very hard to read.

189530 823408 2 Some of the labs were too complex for the topics we covered. It seemed there was lot of extra task in the lab that didn't need to be there. The labs should be more stream-lined.

189530 823408 3 This book will be better as a reference then the book for SL130. Subjects were better, more logically organized.

189536 836095 1 Course hardcopy materials were not adequate.
