Friedl is on the list as an author not as an implementer so I find your comparison to Cox confusing.
I read Friedl's book years ago and I found it incredibly useful.
Whatever damage Friedl did to my understanding of an NFA has been de minimus in comparison to how that book improved my skills. I wish more of my coworkers had encountered Friedl's book.
- cutler 5y agoAgreed. Friedl's book launched my back-end programming career when I followed-up a reference to it in Dreamweaver 8 Bible back in 2000. Along with Programming Perl it's the most inspiring tech book I've ever read.
