New Perl Patterns Book

brian_d_foy on 2008-09-15T16:38:00

I'm pleased to announce the arrival of Perlish Patterns, my new book responding to the patterns movement, available from my lulu storefront.

This book is an expansion of a series of articles I wrote once upon a time for perl.com. In the book, I address every pattern from the venerable Design Patterns by Gamma and others (the gang of four), plus some others. While the gang of four focus on object oriented solutions, I use a richer toolkit to explore other options available in Perl. For a fuller description, see www.perlishpatterns.com.

Also availble from my lulu store are a book on the Gantry web framework and a novella about how our corporate overlords could leverage networked computing to become as dangerous to free society as totalitarian governments.


Typos and spelling mistakes

I apologize for the typos and spelling errors, which were due to forgetting my spell checker. If you bought a copy before 8am Tuesday, September 16, 2008, please write to me at the address in the preface, so I may provide you with an updated PDF.

I hope that the revision will be in place when print orders are fulfilled. If not, please contact me when your book arrives, so I can refund your purchase price.
