Perl Developers Dictionary
|
By Clinton Pierce
Perl Developer's Dictionary is a complete, well-organized
reference to the Perl language and environment, including core syntax as well as
Perl modules. Designed specifically for the experienced developer who needs a
reference readily available on his or her desk to refer to on a daily basis, the
book is extensively cross-referenced and indexed for optimal usability. In
addition to providing a complete syntax reference for all core Perl functions,
the book also provides quick access to language syntax, constructs, and other
language issues. Each major section of the book is prefaced with a short
introduction to provide background material on the subject at hand, and then is
followed by a series of 'dictionary' entries that cover exactly one topic,
carefully cross-referenced and indexed with the rest of the book. |
Teach Yourself Perl In 21 Days
|
By Laura Lemay and Richard Colburn
Sams Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days covers the basics of Perl in
the first few chapters, and then moves on to practical issues of Perl and
in-depth discussions of more advanced topics. Later chapters also delve into
software engineering topics, with discussions of modular code and
object-oriented programming. CGI is covered in one chapter, but it is not the
focus on the book. The book relies heavily on longer working examples and code,
as opposed to small snippets and code fragments, and each chapter includes two
to three smaller complete examples and one major one that illustrates most of
the concepts for that chapter and builds on the chapters before it. Written by
Laura Lemay, this is her third major book after Sams Teach Yourself Web
Publishing with HTML in 21 Days and Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days. |
