Higher-Order Perl Available For Free Download

Posted by kdawson on from the virtual-special-shelf dept.

Christopher Cashell writes "As noted on Perlbuzz, Mark Jason Dominus's amazing book, Higher-Order Perl, is now available for free download. This is a great book that goes way beyond your normal programming reference. This will change the way you look at programs, and make you a better programmer in any language. It sits on that special shelf reserved for books like Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, The C Programming Language, and The Practice of Programming."

      seriously! "Hope and change"? You can hope for change, but you ain't getting it!

      Nobody has accused or suggested Our Lord-Elect and Savior did anything wrong, but his first reaction was to deny any connection whatsoever with blogojackoff. Two weeks ago, your senior advisor mentioned a phone call with him? He misspoke. You endorsed him in 2002 and 2006? Must have been an aide filling out the wrong form on some paperwork. Your chief of staff called you his top strategist in 2002? Nope, he's since changed his recollection, facts be damned.

      There was a saying about Bill Clinton -- he'd climb backwards up a prickly tree to tell a lie when he could tell the truth lying down. Seems like that might apply to Saint Barry H. Obama as well.

      Blagojevich was mad at Obama for not giving him anything for the Senate seat, you moron. Maybe you should focus your efforts on getting Republican crooks like Sen. Ted Stevens (AK) out of jail. Or just hang out in the bathroom stall with Larry Craig, you cock-smoking teabagger.
