Customer Reviews Reviewer: Duncan Taylor from A Brit in Michigan There was a time when all you needed to know was C and Cobol. However since I last played with either of these languages, countless more have been introduced, CGI, Java, Perl C++, J++ etc etc.. I have tried to learn them but hate manuals and rarely read them. I find most are badly written and I lose interest VERY quickly. However, up until now I have avoided needing to learn any new languages. That has changed recently and I have had no choice but to pick up a Perl book and learn it. So I was surprised when after an hour in B&N reading all the perl books that I came across this one. It actually 'talked' to me in a way I liked and more importantly, kept me interested. For a beginner, it is an excellant book and I would have no problems recommending it to anyone. It does come with it own CD which has the Perl language. Also all the code and examples are on the CD. If you are a beginner, don't buy the impressive looking 1200 page book, it will just gather dust. Reviewer: Nimrod Priell from Kefar-Sava Israel Well, at least the version I bought in march 2000, version 5 I think, doesn't have those. the book is error ad typo free, and all the programs run perfectly. Now to the meat: When I began reading the book I knew perl does stuff on the web. That's all, really. Readin onl 8 hours of it, I've already developed various cool programs, reached the third level in perlmonks.com - a site for perl freaks, and saw I can really help people! The learning curve is amazing. Although It's not really 1 hour for each class, at least for me, It's 1:30 or so. I'd really, really suggest this... You can viably *SEE* your progress... It's amazing how after a week of reading the book you feel you know everything about the language: recursion, arrays, and everything there is in any other language, MASTERED by you. Spend a week more (to get to hour 14) and you... I cant describe it. The first time I feel so comfy with a programming language. MUST BUY. Reviewer: Daniel Stidham from Houston, Texas .... This is HONESTLY the first book I have found (yes!) that really tries to TEACH the reader. I can be anywhere (not just in front of my system) and read through and learn and learn the stuff I need to know, useful stuff. I have went through them all folks, and Clinton Pierce deserves many kudos for how he laid out and wrote this book. Typos are a minimum but I found several source listings that had a different variable name (in particular, FILEHANDLE name) than was mentioned in the source code explanation following. So far, so good, this book has saved me from having to hire a Perl programmer (for the time being). Reviewer: nadarajan k Velu from Austin, TX USA I had a necessity to learn Perl and use it immediately on my Job. While I was browsing through volumes and volumes of books written on Perl, I was lucky to find this book. This was one of the best introductory books written on Perl. It keeps you awake and gives the right amount of Perl knowledge to start implementing it right away. I will be looking out for any other books written by Clinton Pierce, on computer programming. |
