Larry Wall Books

1. Learning Perl, Second Edition4.00 out of 5.00 stars
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 Cookbook4.50 out of 5.00 stars
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).

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 Perl4.50 out of 5.00 stars
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

By: Susie Adams, Dilip Hardas, Akhtrar Hossain, Clifford R. Cannon, Rand Morimoto, Kevin T. Price, Steve Tranchida, Charlie Kaiman, Cuneyt Havlioglu, Robert Oikawa, Rick Pearson, Tom Lake, Larry Wall
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 Do5.00 out of 5.00 stars
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 Reflect5.00 out of 5.00 stars
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
