This makes writing much easier, but can mean readers can finish books as bad or even dangerous programmers. (For instance if you learned Perl from Randall Schwartz's "Learning Perl", you not only wouldn't be able to write a function that could add two lists of numbers, but you wouldn't know that you didn't know this, and wouldn't know what was going on when you tried..)
By comparison, this text (part of a series editted by the legendary Scott Meyers, author of "Effective C++") is exemplary. It is both thorough and clear, giving crystal clear explanations of all Perl's major features, including arguably the best introduction to regular expressions anywhere, and covering superbly the essential but tricky subject of references (one of the things introductions often drop).
While thorough enough to suit the professional programmer, TYP24H is also clear and friendly enough to be used as in an introduction to Perl by first time programmers.
A truly superb achievement - I'm horribly envious!
All the lessons are nicely spaced out and you're not overwhelmed with too much information at one time but you always have the option of learning more with the supplied CD. And though they say "24 hours" you'll find you're locking yourself in the study/bedroom/library from dawn to dusk engrossed in every detail. Tell the family not to worry, you're just programming (most learn to accept it after a while!)
The book is written for Mac, unix and windows and explains what the difference is within the pages. It's very easy to set up and you'll be up and running very quickly. There's no need for you to change OS or anything daft like that.
Initially, i bought this book to learn Perl for personal use. I wanted to create a guestbook for my website but i found i could do so much more. Being a webdesigner i now also use it to get forms sent back and have data verified. And this book shows you how to do it. It's not made for pro's but then, you can't learn to run if you've not managed to walk yet now can you?
Thanks Pierce for the great information and Sams for producing another title to help mine, and i'm sure many many more's, knowledge of IT.
Listmania!
