While reading the regex portion of Apress’s Beginning Perl Second Edition by James Lee, the following sample code totally made my day.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
$_ = "There are two major products that came out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX";
s/(\w+)\s+(\w+)/$2 $1/;
$_ = ucfirst($_);
print $_, "?\n";

I started developing my very first web application from scratch earlier this week. It will remain a secret as I will try to make some money from it. It will be written entirely in PHP and backed by MySQL. Hopefully I would have an alpha or yet even better a beta release by the end of the year. I’ve said enough.
After a three week hiatus I’ve got back againg reading my PHP and Bash shell programming books.
