Seriously Clever for A 10 year old book on perl basics is probably pushing it.
No disrespect to the guy though I'm sure he is and general respect for publishing a book like that.
I guess just limited exposure to Java
- fuzzix 13y ago> Seriously Clever for A 10 year old book on perl basics is probably pushing it. Why is the age of this book relevant? It's not an overview of the basics. it's a 500+ page exploration of Perl's functional programming features, a topic rarely (if ever) covered in this depth.
- swah 13y agoThe other day I surprinsingly found more praise for HOP from a coder I admire: http://books.google.com.br/books?id=2kMIqdfyT8kC&pg=PT89&lpg=PT89&dq=%22higher+order+perl%22+coders+at+work&source=bl&ots=MkbsubIIDC&sig=3SWQT7uJeF5QWMeA1Tl0k7xeIl8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=iFwxU_ChFaeA2gWug4DQCQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22higher%20order%20perl%22%20coders%20at%20work&f=false http://books.google.com.br/books?id=2kMIqdfyT8kC&pg=PT89&lpg... Time to re-read it, because when I first read it, I had to skim some parts. Probably applies to Python.
