2.0 out of 5 stars Only intended for users with *no* experience in programming, 18 Oct 1998
By A Customer
If you have a little bit of experience (even BASIC!), than 60% of the book will bore you (what is a variable, etc.) and the rest will not treat the topics in any depth. From Windows NT users a certain minimum knowledge can be expected and NT specific topics are not treated enough (i.e. how to maintain user accounts etc.). Too much blank space and lines in the book, it could be reduced to less than a third in pages without reducing the text and the readability.

2.0 out of 5 stars Covers material, but better know programming., 27 Aug 1999
By A Customer
The first impression is the large number of typos in the code. It seems to work well for teaching 'what' works in Perl, but totally skips any 'why' structure. It comes off as an infinite number of special exceptions. Some advice, such as in the Pattern Matching chapter is just plan wrong. Seems to have slipped out without being editted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!! The right way to go., 8 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I have no background in programming, but also wanted to learn some scripting language to automate my tasks for administering Windows NT network. A friend of mine recommended me about Perl and i bought this book. And now i am a proud owner of this book.
