This is it. This is the one and only “Learning Perl”. From beginning to end this book is useful for both the beginning Perl programmer and the old veteran. Well written and well documented, this book covers all the essential of learning Perl.

The original and still the best book of Perl.

PHP 4, from Wrox publishing, provides a good overview of the PHP Hypertext Processing language, with some nice examples and case studies.

When it comes to PHP, the number of books available is still slim, but thanks to WROX Publishing, we have a new addition that serves as a good reference to anyone starting out using PHP.

Starting out with the first chapter, the authors set the scene for the rest of the book: good details and excellent examples. Like any programming book, the details of function and syntax are only as good as the examples they are used in, and this book uses simple examples and detailed case studies to accomplish both ends.

As you move onto later chapters it was nice to see that many of the screen shots were taken using Mozilla, a strong sign of support for Open Source. Following that is a great explanation of both the TCP/IP and HTTP protocol. It seemed a little random, since developing web pages doesn’t really require a detailed understanding, but it was a nice amount of background info.
