1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid, 31 Oct 2006

David Cross "davorg" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: PERL in Easy Steps (Paperback)

This is one of the worst Perl books out there. The author really has very little idea of the best way to write Perl programs. Oh, you'll certainly learn some Perl from the book and the sample programs work in the way the author says they will, but show the example code to any Perl programmer and they will either laugh or cry. The author ignores the "warnings" and "strict" modules which are extremely useful in any Perl program more than a few lines long and he doesn't seem to know about the CGI library which has been bundled with Perl since 1997 - he prefers to use his own (buggy!) CGI handling routines.

The Perl you will learn from this book is full of bad practices and makes Perl seem harder than it is. Please don't buy this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars ....easy now!, 18 Jan 2010

Jeremy - See all my reviews

This review is from: PERL in Easy Steps (Paperback)

The previous review is so damning - I have no doubt the reviewer knows his Perl, but if you've never used it before and see this in your local library (as i did) - and need to learn some basics it's ok (granted, you may need to re-learn things later so keep this in mind). made me think twice about buying a second hand copy of this...

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, 2 Jun 2009

By Sriram R. Krishnan "Krishnan" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: PERL in Easy Steps (Paperback)

This is a very good book for PERL beginners. Easy to follow, good hands on samples. Though the examples are for web based development, we can try it on UNIX/LINUX shells.

Examples are simple and the book covers almost all sections of PERL (except for DB programming).

Overall excellent book for beginners.
