This book does a very good job of covering the basics, but it's not what it should be. Other O'Reilly books I've used(most notably Learning Perl) have been a joy to read, and are written by people who clearly love their subject matter. This book is, by comparison, very flat and bland, and doesn't do anything to inject any life into itself. Additionally, there are numerous typos throughout the book, including at least one serious one (sample syntax that isn't correct). Finally, while there are plenty of review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter, there's no answer key to be found. It seems rather pointless when you've got no way to check yourself except go back over the chapter. |
