![]() In many ways this book seems more like a story book than the old mundane books I read in the past from other companies. The book is very well designed, with just enough off-topicness to keep the book interesting while reading it. This is the first book I got from Oreilly, and the first book I got on PERL – and I was amazingly surprised that a “text book” could be written so well. “This programming book was by far the best I’ve read from any company. Some glowing reviews from different sites: Affectionately known by Perl programmers as “The Camel” due to the O’Reilly animal on the cover, this book first surfaced in 1988 and has been updated throughout the years by its authoritative Perl authors–the inventor of Perl (Wall), one of Perl’s first champions (Christiansen), and editor of The Perl Journal (Orwant). ![]() The book most recommended is Programming Perl, 3rd Edition by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen and Jon Orwant. We reviewed Beautiful Code by Wilson and Oram earlier this week, so we wanted to do a review of a book that we recommend specifically for Perl programmers–given that we have some pretty serious Perl programmers on staff. ![]()
