| 1. Learning Perl, Second Edition | 
| By: Randal L. Schwartz, Tom Christiansen, Larry Wall
June 30, 1997
I usually dislike textbooks (bought this for a class), but this book is very nice. The language is more like having a conversation since the book will make jokes and admit to silly things that happen in Perl.
The book makes very few assumptions about the reader's experience, but still may move fast for a total code beginner. Numerous, fully explained examples help in that regard. All in... more

| | 3. Perl Cookbook | 
| By: Tom Christiansen, Nathan Torkington, Larry Wall
1998-08
I liked the book from the minute I started reading. It's written in an easy and understandable manner, and the "cooking recipies" highlight a lot of common questions a typical programmer has when dealing with perl.
Unfortunately it has become a bit dated, and it could do with an update about more modern ways to to things (like e.g. OO with Moose).

| | 4. Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution (O'Reilly Open Source) |
| By: Chris DiBona, Sam Ockman, Mark Stone, Brian Behlendorf, Scott Bradner, Jim Hamerly, Kirk McKusick, Tim O'Reilly, Tom Paquin, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Richard Stallman, Michael Tiemann, Linus Torvalds, Paul Vixie, Larry Wall, Bob Young
Publisher: O'Reilly Media
1999-01
The essays are mostly a retelling of the history of open source software. I find it curious how much was written about Netscape, an enterprise that ultimately failed. With hindsight I would say that converting to open source is not a remedy for a poor business model. Poor, as used here, is not an absolute measure. Netscape was simply destroyed by a fierce competitor. Maybe the time was not yet ripe... more

| By: Larry Wall, Randal L Schwartz, Randal L. Schwartz
Publisher: O'Reilly Media
January 01, 1996
This informal "bible" of Perl programming is an easy read for experienced programmers AND has a great index for reference. Walls and Christiansen team up well for us advanced beginners by welcoming us into the Club and giving us the straight scoop in a coherent structure... more

| | 6. Programming Perl |
| By: Larry; Schwartz, Randal L. Wall
Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
1992
This book almost immediately moves to the full essence of Perl programming. Thereby violating all rules of "good writing." The start is VERY difficult to understand. But I stuck to it and read it over and over again, carefully. When I finally understood the first chapter, I understood Perl. Learning the rest was mostly details. So this "immersion" style worked, at least for me. The later editions... more

Publisher: Sams
February 18, 2002
As a developer, I bought BizTalk Unleashed to evaluate the capabilities of BizTalk Server 2002. Specifically, I looked at how it can be used in EDI transaction processing and how to use .NET (VB.NET/C#) and I was impressed because the book has excellent examples, from general overview to step-by-step guide, on how to use every tools and technologies that BizTalk has to offer. Most importantly, the... more

Publisher: O'Reilly
May 15, 2001
A long time fan of O'Reilly books, the CD bookshelves are one of the best ideas I've seen from a publisher. If you don't mind reading onscreen these will save you money. If you do pick this up in addition to the hardcopy simply for the search capabilities. A great reference tool from any serious programmer... more

| | 9. I Love You, Really I Do | 
| By: Larry N. Walls
Publisher: Xulon Press
November 10, 2009
This book will give a solid foundation for building any relationship. It's a fairly short book, but no sentence is wasted and each is packed with meaning. There are a few real life experiences that really drive home the points. I can still think back on them and draw on the lesson being illustrated.
Both men and women who want to look into themselves (and grow!) will gain a... more

| | 10. The Museum as Muse: Artists Reflect |
| By: Kynaston McShine, Christopher Williams, Glenn Lowry, Gillian Wearing, Art and Language, Barbara Bloom, Christo, Jan Dibbets, Lutz Dille
Publisher: The Museum of Modern Art, New York
July 02, 2002
I attended this exhibit at the MoMA and was thrilled to see so many great artists interpreting what museums and "the institution" means. For some artists, the act of collecting is very private...like Joseph Cornell and his many obsessive boxes, or Christian Boltanski and his melancholy installation of forgotten photographs. In another personal piece, Sophie Calle interviewed various staff members... more
