Product Description
“I picked up a copy of JavaScript by Example overthe weekend and wanted to thank you for putting out a book that makesJavaScript easy to understand. I’ve been a developer for several yearsnow and JS has always been the “monster under the bed,” so to speak.Your book has answered a lot of questions I’ve had about the innerworkings of JS but was afraid to ask. Now all I need is a book thatcovers Ajax and Coldfusion. Thanks again for putting together anoutstanding 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 theshells, and when you have to constantly work in an organization thatuses tcsh, bash, and korn, it can become very difficult. However, yourbook has been indispensable to me in learning the various shells andthe differences between them…so I thought I’d email you, just to letyou know what a great job you have done!”–Farogh-Ahmed Usmani, B.Sc. (Honors), M.Sc., DIC, project consultant (Billing Solutions), Comverse
“I have been learning Perl forabout two months now; I have a little shell scripting experience butthat is it. I first started with Learning Perl by O’Reilly. Good book but lacking on the examples. I then went to Programming Perl by Larry Wall, a great book for intermediate to advanced, didn’t help me much beginning Perl. I then picked up Perl by Example, Third Edition–thisbook is a superb, well-written programming book. I have read manycomputer books and this definitely ranks in the top two, in my opinion.The examples are excellent. The author shows you the code, the outputof each line, and then explains each line in every example.”–Dan Patterson, software engineer, GuideWorks, LLC
“Ellie Quigley has written anoutstanding introduction to Perl, which I used to learn the languagefrom scratch. All one has to do is work through her examples, putzaround with them, and before long, you’re relatively proficient atusing the language. Even though I’ve graduated to using Programming Perl by Wall et al., I still find Quigley’s 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, isn’ton the shelf; it sits on my desk, where I use it almost daily. When Ibought my copy I had not programmed in several years and my programmingwas mostly in COBOL so I was a rank beginner at Perl. I had at thattime purchased several popular books on Perl but nothing that reallyput it together for me. I am still no pro, but my book has manydog-eared pages and each one is a lesson I have learned and willcertainly remember. “I still think it is the best Perl book on themarket for anyone from a beginner to a seasoned programmer using Perlalmost daily.”–Bill Maples, network design tools and automations analyst, Fidelity National Information Services
“We are rewriting our intro toOS scripting course and selected your text for the course. It’s anexceptional book. The last time we considered it was a few years ago(second edition). The debugging and system administrator chapters atthe end nailed it for us.”–Jim Leone, Ph.D., professor and chair, Information Technology, Rochester Institute of Technology
“Quigley’s book acknowledges amajor usage of PHP. To write some kind of front end user interfaceprogram that hooks to a back end MySQL database. Both are free and opensource, and the combination has proved popular. Especially where thefront end involves making an HTML web page with embedded PHP commands.“Not every example involves both PHP and MySQL. Though all exampleshave PHP. Many demonstrate how to use PHP inside an HTML file. Likewriting user-defined functions, or nesting functions. Or making orusing function libraries. The functions are a key idea in PHP, thattake you beyond the elementary syntax. Functions also let you gainfullyuse code by other PHP programmers. Important if you are part of acoding group that has to divide up the programming effort in somemanner.”–Dr. Wes Boudville, CTO, Metaswarm Inc.
