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."

    No, its not. Maybe if you want to contribute to the author it is. Otherwise, electronic text is 100x better than paper b/c of text searching. Books are obsolete, antiques even. Flipping to the back of the book for an index, then back to a references page number, then scanning the page? for the birds, I say
