What are the advantages of this over other frameworks?

Node is terrible on windows

Free web hosting has been around since the nineties.

Wow Thanks!

What are some resources to get me started with Node?

P.S I have no knowledge of Javascript

I don't have a negative output on Perl, its just that I wonder if its still worth learning because of the small community everyone talks about.

Small community? That's a perception issue, and it's unfair (though understandable).

Perl's installed almost everywhere, used almost everywhere, and has the biggest repository of free and freely redistributable libraries known to mankind in the CPAN.

Language hipsters who've flocked from Ruby to Erlang to Clojure to Node.js may not yak about it as much as they do their new shiny, but don't confuse that for widespread use.

Thanks. I'll try out Perl.

If you have a little bit of existing programming experience, my book Modern Perl may be of interest to you. Electronic versions are free and freely redistributable:

This seems like just a reference, a lot doesn't make sense to me.

Website scraping, simple websites, execute tasks quickly from the Desktop

Sites like Scraperwiki work great with Python, PHP and Ruby. Take a look at their examples and see which ones make the most sense to you.

Thanks

both python and ruby is easy to start and powerful, so just pick one you like.

As me, I learn python first as my scripting tool(web scraping, system automate task).

Then I switch to ruby,it have some suger for you to write less code to complete same task.

Really good, but where'd they get all this music? Youtube? Did you make this?

Thanks. The music is from Youtube, it just searches the song on there. The data (like list of songs on album etc) are from musicbrainz (a free database).

As a new programmer, should I wait for Perl 6, or just learn Perl 5, this article makes Perl 6 look quite compelling.

You should never "wait" for a programming language. :) I say this as someone who is deeply involved in Perl 6 development.

Learn Perl 5 if you want to learn how a full-featured, complete, and liberating-to-use programming language works.

Check out Perl 6 if you want to see what some of us are building, and if you value ideas as such, even when they haven't all been put together into a finished, polished product.

I don't think Rakudo works on windows well anyway
