| rindolf | tkr: or "Programming Perl"? |
| tkr | thou latter one is quite difficult. I should study some maths rindolf, I dont know what is SICP. |
| rindolf | The Camel is very funny, and very enlightening. perlbot: sicp |
| perlbot | http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ - "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" - A Classic Text on Programming |
| tkr | rindolf, I dont read lots of perl books. |
| rindolf | tkr: oh. tkr: but you should definitely read the Camel. |
| tkr | rindolf, the one about functional programming was the last one read. what the heck was its name |
| Cin | rindolf: sure, although I think the faster the developers can find and fix a problem (maintenance), the faster the software can be patched or upgraded (upgrades) |
| rindolf | tkr: I once read a book about Lambda Calculus. |
| tkr | rindolf, Morgan.Kaufmann.Higher-Order.Perl.Transforming.Programs.with.Programs.Mar.2005.eBook-LinG.pdf |
| rindolf | Cin: of course. Cin: I distinguish between parameters for quality and between measures to achieve this quality. |
| bru802 | can someone have a look at my problem, for some reason it can't find any of the forms defined, even though I know it's there: http://sial.org/pbot/24700 |
| rindolf | tkr: oh. tkr: yes, it's a nice book. |
| tkr | rindolf, I dont usually find anything new from books like Programming Perl. is it any good? |
| rindolf | tkr: by MJD. tkr: it is very good. tkr: have you read all the perldocs? |
| tkr | rindolf, yep. I didnt know that much of functional programming before. so it was quite interesting. |
| rindolf | tkr: it covers alll fo Perl. |
| tkr | rindolf, probably most of them not all. |
| rindolf | tkr: and it's very funny and captivating. |
| tkr | Ive been programming perl only for like 7 years or so. |
| rindolf | tkr: taught me a lot. tkr: ah. |
| tkr | ok. need to get that then. |
| rindolf | tkr: I have programmed Perl since 1996. 11 years now. Started with perl5.001 or so. |
| tkr | and you still arent as good as ton? tsk tsk. ;) |
| rindolf | tkr: sure. tkr: I am pretty good. tkr: not as good as him as golf. tkr: but I find it hard to think in complex regexps. |
| tkr | rindolf, ok. good to know. then I can ask you for help if I ever need some. :) |
