| Summary |
"This book assumes a basic understanding of Perl syntax and functions, but not necessarily any background in computer science. The authors explain the reasons for using various classic programming techniques, the kind of applications that use them, and how to code these algorithms in Perl." "If you are an amateur programmer, this book will fill you in on the essential algorithms you need to solve problems in the manner of an expert. If you have already learned algorithms in other languages, you will be surprised at how different (and often much easier) it is to implement them in Perl. The book even has the obligatory fractal program."--BOOK JACKET |
