Perl 5 Complete: Amazon.ca: Edward S. Peschko, Michelle DeWolfe: Books

Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

While Java gets the ink, Perl is the programming language that keeps the Internet running. No one owns Perl, so anyone can use it on every platform. Likewise, it serves many purposes, from managing web sites and CGI servers to system engineering. Peschko and DeWolfe cover just about everything imaginable, including running databases and developing modules for UNIX and NT. This is not a beginner's book but an excellent title for very advanced web managers.

3.0�toiles sur 5 A good book to learn perl, Avril 1 2003

Par	Winston Koh (Los Altos, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

if you have the patience to finish it! this book is packed with useful information with great depth, but its a bit dry and too thick for its intended purposes. it is a good buy to strengthen your perl knowledge and introduce you to do OOP with perl, however its not so ideal for a reference and i doubt anyone can finish this book cover-to-cover. i didnt finish it but for whatever chapters i have managed to read thru, they are pretty informative

1.0�toiles sur 5 Hard to find information, Avril 17 2001

Par	Malena R Mesarina "malena19" (Palo Alto, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This is one of the most unorganized books I have ever read. I just started learning Perl, and I used this book because it was available in the library. I read up to chapter 10. One big problem with this book is that the Index is very short and the book is huge, so most of the time I cannot find a reference pointer to the subject I am interested. The index is basically useless. So I have wasted a lot of time trying to find information about a specific subject by browsing the book until I found a relevant heading. There seems to be tones of information in this book but, the organization is terrible; it is as if they had just dumped a lot of scattered information into one book, without beeing concerned about the logical flow. After chapter 10, the topics are very advanced, but they are not introduced properly. There is the assumption that you already know a lot of object oriented programming. I have given up on this book and threw it away. I never write book reviews but I felt compelled to do it today, because this book just got to my nerves by wasting so much of my time. I hope you don't waste your money on this book.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Good for learning Perl, Bad as a reference, Avril 29 2000

Par	Andrew Bishop (Redmond, WA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

If you are wanting to learn perl, this book will help you do that. It jumps in quickly into how to code perl, so be prepared. If you have coded C++, then this perl won't be that hard with this book. However, if you've never programmed before, then this is not the book for you.

Once I had learned perl, I found this book to be a 500 page paper weight. It does little good as a reference.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Revised opinion!
Review no. 25 has it wrong about the recursive function; the program on Page 151 is NOT an infinite loop. I committed an error in trying out that recursive function. Read more

I have read through a good portion of the book - however, I am not new to Perl. This book is riddled with errors. Read more

4.0�toiles sur 5 Where is my errata sheet?
I feel very strongly that the publishers of this book should provide an errata sheet as the sheer quantity of errors completely spoils an otherwise excellent book. Read more
