    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.

    Linux books are starting to be a dime a dozen these days. I still remember the days before the 1998 Linux boom when all I could find as far as Linux literature is regarded was the Using Linux book published by Que and O’Reilly’s Running Linux, aside from the wonderful online documentation put together by the Linux Documentation Project (LDP). But things are quite different these days. It’s pretty much impossible to go to any major bookstore without seeing a few shelves in the computer section exclusively dedicated to Linux books. The only problem I see is that most of them are nothing but the proverbial different shades of gray, since many of those books seem to be aimed only at the new Linux user who has been using Windows all his life.

    Professional Linux Deployment is a little bit different. It assumes that the reader already installed Linux, and it doesn’t bother to teach her how to move around the shell, create user accounts or even how to set up a printer for that matter. Instead, the goal of the book is to help you deploy Linux for any of the multiple functions where it excels at (file and printer serving, web and FTP, directory services with LDAP, groupware, database applications…), and when it comes to these issues the authors definitely take their time to provide detailed step-by-step directions on how to install and configure the different packages to the point that in some instances it becomes too repetitive to read the same tar -xzvf [packagename] or instructions on how to compile with make over and over again in different chapters of the book.
