About Book

Amazon.com
A great book for beginning programmers who want to learn Perl. Filled with concrete examples and, yes, by using this book you will be able to write good Perl code on your own in 21 days. But no perlson is an island, and there is no single book that covers Perl completely, so we recommend that you also get Programming Perl, which is better at providing the language specifications, and, in fact, was written by the author of Perl.

The clearest, best-written Perl tutorial on the market. Provides step-by-step lessons for one of the most popular languages used in Web programming. Written in a straightforward, easy-to-understand style with numerous useful and complete code examples. Updated and revised to cover Perl 5.6 and 5.7, and to improve and refine the book's organization, examples, and explanations. Sams Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days, 2nd Edition covers the basics in the first few chapters, and then moves to practical uses of Perl and in-depth discussions of more advanced topics. Later chapters delve into software engineering topics, with discussions of modular code and object-oriented programming. Sams Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days, 2nd Edition relies heavily on longer working examples and code, as opposed to small snippets and code fragments. Each chapter includes two to three smaller complete examples and one major one that illustrates most of the concepts for that chapter and builds on the chapters before it. Laura Lemay is one of the world's most popular authors on Web development topics. She is known for her ability to clearly explain even the most difficult technical topics, while complementing her discussions with interesting yet practical examples.
