Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: After Purchasing Elizabeth Castro's HTML book I figured her PERL book would be a sure thing. It is marketed as a 'first programming book, and is tailored at perl for the web---A great concept. "For the essence of space" she has left out details, writes Castro. Unfortunately, I am discovering that I am unable to make the leap of faith she assumes to produce results. I think the book has value for learning how to set-up scripts, but you had better look for a second book as a strong reference on the actual perl.If her book had full-blown examples of the concepts reduced for space in the book, I think the book would be more complete.I hope the 2nd revision made marketed improvements. It was unavailable on the prjected release date in the Netherlands.
Is the review positive or negative?
