Wow. That title must've been decided with the buzzword generator!

Hi all! I am the lead author of the "Programming Perl in the .NET Environment" book.
As you probably know, Microsoft has released its new .NET environment, which allows to create .NET components (similar to Java classes) in different languages. The good news is that Perl language has joined the family of .NET languages after ActiveState (http://www.ActiveState.com) introduced its new product, PerlNET, as part of Perl Development Kit (PDK).
"Programming Perl in the .NET environment" is a new book that is quite self-containing - it includes Core Perl tutorial in the first part and the second part is dedicated to programming inside .NET including database access using ADO.NET, ASP.NET Web Applications in Perl, Creating Perl .NET components and other cool stuff. Here is the Amazon link to the book: PerlNET Book
Enjoy the reading and happy bugs-free programming!

Games diversions and Perl culture

m2 on 2002-08-05T14:21:17

Does anyone have more info on that "Games diversions and Perl culture" book? I can't find it on ORA's website, even if Amazon says it's going to be available in a couple of weeks. It's the second volume of that "best of TPJ" compilation, but I'd like to know which articles are included.

TIA.

It's actually the third of the TPJ compilations, after Computer Science and Perl Programming and Web, Graphics & Perl TK. It contains some of the sillier articles from TPJ, like my one on Symbol::Approx::Sub.

It won't be out in August.

Last I heard, it was supposed to be out by August, but the Production department at ORA are way behind.

Another one is the Mason Book. I can attest that this is a very good one!

Just a reminder: Amazon is evil

chip on 2002-08-06T00:46:28

I hope we can avoid using Amazon for purchase, even if we do use them for reference.

For further information on why, just google for 'Spamazon'.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Perl news.

Definately recommend...

  • Extending and Embedding Perl by Tim Jenness, Simon Cozens

Having served as one of the pre-publication reviewers on the manuscript I can definately recommend Tim and Simon's book for anyone looking to use C, Fortran or other low level languages from Perl, or alternatively if your looking to embed Perl in your C code, this is definately going to be the book.
