Two good books on "Programming for Linguists" by the same author, MICHAEL HAMMOND, University of Arizona.
This book is an introduction to the rudiments of Perl programming. It provides the general reader with an interest in language with the most usable and relevant aspects of Perl for writing programs that deal with language.
Exposes the general reader with an interest in language to the most usable and relevant aspects of Perl for writing programs that deal with language.
Contains simple examples and exercises that gradually introduce the reader to the essentials of good programming.
Assumes no prior programming experience.

Michael Hammond is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona. He is the author of numerous books and articles on phonology, morphology, psychophonology, and computational linguistics including Phonology of English (1999), Constraining Metrical Theory (1988), Programming for Linguists: Java ? Technology for Language Researchers (2002), and Programming for Linguists: Perl for Language Researchers (Blackwell 2003).
The ability to program a computer has become increasingly important in work that involves corpora. Specialized research needs can no longer be met by available software, and purchasing customized programs is usually not an option. This book enables the researcher to write programs for text and corpus processing. Useful techniques are illustrated with the popular programming language Java, which is very well suited for handling textual data and at the same time is easy to learn.
Oliver Mason is computer officer of corpus research in the Department of English at the University of Birmingham.
thanks a lot! good recommendation!
unfortunately it is 1.6 mb even after zipping.
perhaps i'll try to sent it to our gmail.
I hope asan82 could sent ecopy book "Teaching yourself perl 5 in 21 days"to the gmail.
Very much interested in your concordancer in VB. I used to program multimedia and database stuff with VB but have no experience in coding string-manipulating programs with this baby. Could we share your souce code?
I do hope that you will come up with your concordancing tool very soon.
