| Book(s) | As a textbook we will use the classic Programming Perl, Third Edition (2000), by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, Jon Orwant. ISBN: 0-596-00027-8. 1104 pages. US$49.95. There are several other Perl books by O'Reilly that are highly recommended, especially Learning Perl (a gentler, more basic introduction), the Perl Pocket Reference (you'll never leave home without it), and the Perl Cookbook (my favorite reference). If you wish to purchase one of these in place of Programming Perl, see the instructor. Additionally, you may want to get a book on UNIX/Linux/MacOSX. For a very beginner's intro consider Learning the Unix Operating System; the more advanced Unix in a Nutshell may be more useful in the long run. Finally, there are 30 books on Perl and over 100 on UNIX/Linux/MacOSX available for free to IU students via Books 24x7 (IU license proxy). |
