Sams Teach Yourself Perl 5 for Windows NT in 21 Days
by David Till, Tony Yantao Zhang (Introduction) Paperback: 912 pages Publisher: Sams ISBN: 0672310473; 1st edition (March 24, 1997) With the formalization of Active Server Pages and its new scripting model in Windows NT and IIS, Perl provides a viable alternative to JavaScript and VBScript. This book teaches readers Perl, the most powerful scripting language in the UNIX arena, and shows them how to apply that knowledge to develop dynamic user interfaces into Windows NT databases. The CD contains source code, sample scripts, and various third-party utilities. From the Publisher: Perl, a powerful programming language in the UNIX arena, can be used for manipulating text, generating reports, and performing system tasks. Assuming no prior programming knowledge, this easy-to-use guide shows readers how to use this language to develop dynamic user interfaces into Windows NT databases-in no time. - Extensive coverage of scripting model architecture, lists and array variables, subroutines, mathematical functions, scalar conversion functions, debugging, and more. Customer Reviews Reviewer: bookworm1999 from Arlington, MA This book is better organized than Larry's famous book and it is easier to find information in it. It is a great reference work and tutorial. Reviewer: A reader from Silicon Valley, California The first impression is the large number of typos in the code. It seems to work well for teaching 'what' works in Perl, but totally skips any 'why' structure. It comes off as an infinite number of special exceptions. Some advice, such as in the Pattern Matching chapter is just plan wrong. Seems to have slipped out without being editted. Reviewer: Vishal A. Karangutkar from New Jersey, USA I have no background in programming, but also wanted to learn some scripting language to automate my tasks for administering Windows NT network. A friend of mine recommended me about Perl and i bought this book. And now i am a proud owner of this book. Reviewer: A reader from Melbourne / Australia If you have a little bit of experience (even BASIC!), than 60% of the book will bore you (what is a variable, etc.) and the rest will not treat the topics in any depth. From Windows NT users a certain minimum knowledge can be expected and NT specific topics are not treated enough (i.e. how to maintain user accounts etc.). Too much blank space and lines in the book, it could be reduced to less than a third in pages without reducing the text and the readability. |
