Perl by example Upplaga 4

I picked up a copy of JavaScript by Example over the weekend and wanted to thank you for putting out a book that makes JavaScript easy to understand. Ive been a developer for several years now and JS has always been the monster under the bed, so to speak. Your book has answered a lot of questions Ive had about the inner workings of JS but was afraid to ask. Now all I need is a book that covers Ajax and Coldfusion. Thanks again for putting together an outstanding book. Chris Gomez, Web services manager, Zunch Worldwide, Inc. I have been reading your UNIX Shells by Example book, and I must say, it is brilliant. Most other books do not cover all the shells, and when you have to constantly work in an organization that uses tcsh, bash, and korn, it can become very difficult.

Dan Patterson, software engineer, GuideWorks, LLC Ellie Quigley has written an outstanding introduction to Perl, which I used to learn the language from scratch. All one has to do is work through her examples, putz around with them, and before long, youre relatively proficient at using the language. Even though Ive graduated to using Programming Perl by Wall et al., I still find Quigleys book a most useful reference. Casey Machula, support systems analyst, Northern Arizona University, College of Health and Human Services When I look at my bookshelf, I see eleven books on Perl programming. Perl by Example, Third Edition, isnt on the shelf; it sits on my desk, where I use it almost daily. When I bought my copy I had not programmed in several years and my programming was mostly in COBOL so I was a rank beginner at Perl. I had at that time purchased several popular books on Perl but nothing that really put it together for me. I am still no pro, but my book has many dog-eared pages and each one is a lesson I have learned and will certainly remember. I stil...
