Early this year I hold a presentation at work called Thinking Regular Expressions.
My point is that I think many developers see it as hard/complex to understand and use regular expressions, but by getting the basic thinking right I believe it is really easy to getting started to use this powerful tool. The presentations was supposed to be a kick start.
I publish the slides even if its not made to say something by itself without my talk. But you might get something out of it.
