Perl Programming for the Absolute Beginner (Paperback)
暫譯: 完全初學者的Perl程式設計

Description

Perl is an enormously popular scripting language that runs on many different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X, and provides programmers with a robust and powerful programming language that is easy to learn, yet sufficiently complex to tackle just about any job. As such, it’s a perfect programming language for those new to programming to learn. Perl Programming for the Absolute Beginner has been designed to teach you how to develop Perl scripts and to help you become an effective programmer, and teaches concepts through the creation of simple games. Whether you are an experienced programmer looking to learn another language or you are reading this book as the first step in your programming career, you will find that this book’s games-based teaching approach makes the learning process a lot more enjoyable. You will also find that the knowledge you’ll gain from developing Perl-based games will provide you with a strong foundation from which you can branch out and tackle more complex challenges.
