Excerpts from
full review
by
George Woolley, co-author of "Unix Made Easy" and member of
the
Oakland Perl Mongers:
-
Rating: 4 smiley faces
-
This is a very good book on Perl especially tailored for Unix/Linux
users
-
If you have some experience with Unix but no experience with Shell
programming
…
Part I should be especially interesting to you.
-
If you have experience with Shell programming
…
you'll find Part II especially interesting.
-
I like the author's strategy of teaching a subset of Perl.
…
Perl is too vast to teach without some such strategy.
-
While there is much to learn in this book, the book is also fun.
-
I didn't have any expectation that I'd enjoy the book, but I did. :)
-
If you are a Unix/Linux user and wish to learn Perl, I recommend this
book.
