We’re looking for some reader feedback. You can comment here, send us mail, reply on Twitter, skywrite your message in Chicago (please send us a link to that video in case we miss it), or come up to us at a conference. We’re thinking about writing an extra, bonus chapter of Effective Perl Programming for [...]
I just found out that Effective Perl Programming is available in digital formats through eBooks.com. They have a PDF version and an ePub version, each for $US31.99, which, sadly, is more than the hard-copy price of $US26.39 on Amazon.com and the Kindle price of $US17.59. They specifically list that these formats target Adobe Digital Editions, [...]
Here are some images from the Kindle version (on an iPad) of Effective Perl Programming. It doesn’t look bad considering how bad most other non-novels look on Kindle, and its readable. These are two non-consecutive pages: The paragraphs are nicely separated and it’s easier for you to see what is code and what isn’t. The [...]
Effective Perl Programming is now available in a Kindle edition: I bought it, not being a big fan of Kindle, and was surprised that it doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would on the Kindle app on the iPad (it looks similar on the iPhone and Kindle for Mac): There are some oddities, [...]
There’s a Chinese translation of _Effective Perl Programming_ in the works. I don’t know when it will be available: the translation will take some time, then the publisher has to put it on paper, then it has to show up in stores. I don’t have any details on where or how you can buy the [...]
Addison-Wesley converted our chapter on “Files and Filehandles” to HTML and put it online for as a free sample chapter. I selected this chapter as the free sample because it was the most fun to write but also the most valuable to new Perl programmers. Filehandles are the way you interact with the world, and [...]
Now that you should be able to get Effective Perl Programming, let us know if you find a problem. We’re going to keep a list of errata on this site. Make sure you check the current list before you spend your time reporting it to us. When you do find something, you can send it [...]
Josh and I got hard copies of the Effective Perl Programming, Second Edition last week, and Amazon says they are in stock.
Effective Perl Programming, Second Edition has already gone to the printers and we’re expecting to see the real thing in about a week. It still has to make it to the distributors and wholesalers though, and Amazon is still listing it as available on May 7.
Effective Perl Programming, 2nd Edition is now in Rough Cuts (although the book is done and in production). If you already have a Safari Books Online account you should be able to see it in full. If you don’t have an account, convince your employer to buy one for you and your coworkers. You can [...]
