If not, please excuse the intrusion into your inbox. PRESS RELEASE -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Manning Publications announces the release of Object Oriented Perl by Damian Conway A V A I L A B L E A U G U S T 1 9 9 9 "I've waited years for the perfect object-oriented Perl book to use for our Stonehenge corporate and open training, and the wait is now over. Damian Conway has written a comprehensive guide, ..." -- Randal L. Schwartz, from the Foreword Greenwich, CT, July 1999 Manning Publications is pleased to announce the release of the first book devoted to object-oriented programming with Perl. Object Oriented Perl, written by a talented writer and Perl expert, Damian Conway, is expected to become a classic of the Perl literature. Perl is known as a great language for "throw-away" programming--hacking quick solutions to urgent tasks. More recently, Perl is showing its strengths as an effective language for developing large, robust, and reusable solutions to complex, real-life problems. This book teaches object-oriented techniques that will help developers write cleaner, more readable and more maintainable Perl programs. "As the language continues to increase its share of corporate development--and in particular its share of web-related work--project size is increasing. Many Perl programs now have thousands of lines of code," said Damian Conway. "Object-oriented techniques can be useful, and sometimes indispensable, in managing the complexity of such projects," he continued. "But even in modest size projects OO techniques help the understanding and reuse of code, specially if it was written by others." Object Oriented Perl doesn't make assumptions about the level of the reader's knowledge of object-orientation--it speaks to readers of all backgrounds. For the Perl neophyte it keeps a steady pace, starting from the basic object-oriented features of the language; for the Perl expert it delves into practical techniques and the deepest mysteries of object orientation including generic programming, multiple dispatch, and object-oriented persistence. And for the refugee from C++, or other OO environments, it provides an appendix comparing and contrasting Perl with the other languages that "is by itself worth the entire price of the book" says Randal Schwartz. Manning's detailed, multi-phase technical manuscript review was made possible by the support of numerous technical reviewers including some of the Perl community's best and brightest. Many of them stated that they have learned valuable new ways to program from this book. Object Oriented Perl presents language concepts and syntax using over 60 examples drawn from real-world applications: databases, source code manipulation, multiprocessing, encryption, search trees, filtering I/O streams, and debugging. It demystifies Perl classes and objects and helps the reader master inheritance, polymorphism, genericity, and encapsulation. Other features of Object Oriented Perl include a gentle introduction to OO ideas and terminology, emphasis on practical examples, coverage of the latest object-oriented Perl features including precompiled regular expressions, pseudo-hashes, the "fields" pragma, and others. Source code is available on-line from the Manning site--every example is available as a complete and documented program, to be used or adapted as Open Software under the Perl Artistic License. In addition, a selection of some of the best nuggets in the book are offered in the book's *cyberdigest* at www.manning.com/conway. And in Manning's tradition, the publisher offers an exclusive Author Online support program, where the reader can ask questions, receive feedback, and discuss his own ideas and techniques directly with the author. Other Manning Perl books in the pipeline include Elements of Programming with Perl, the first introduction to Perl that does not assume the reader is already a programmer; and Programming Perl/Tk, a fast-paced guide to building powerful graphic user interfaces. And on the object-oriented front Manning is the publisher of Working with Objects by Trygve Reenskaug--the inventor of the MVC concept--and of other important OO titles such as Designing Hard Software and Visual Object-Oriented Programming. Based at Monash University in Melbourne, where he teaches object- oriented programming, Dr. Damian Conway is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science and Software Engineering. An effective teacher, accomplished writer, and popular Perl modules author, he is the winner of the 1998 Larry Wall Award. He will be presenting a tutorial and three papers at this year's Perl Conference. Here's what some experts say about Object Oriented Perl: " ...comprehensive, well organized, with large reusable chunks of code... and humor. I've waited years for the perfect object- oriented Perl book...and the wait is over. Thank you, Damian!" -- Randal L. Schwartz, Stonehenge Consulting Services "... an important book, the first to comprehensively tackle Perl's object system. It has something for everyone, from beginner to expert, and belongs on the desk of every serious Perl programmer." --Nathan Torkington, Co-author of "Perl Cookbook" "Conway proves that OOP can be done elegantly and effectively in Perl. This book is great for those getting started with Perl's OO features and is essential for those who want to fully exploit them." --Chris Nandor, Co-author of "MacPerl" "This book is crammed with tips and great information. I enjoyed reading it while learning something in the process." --Graham Barr, Perl 5.005 Source Maintainer "I learned things I wouldn't have known about Perl if I hadn't read this book; they are already helping me do my job better." --Bennett Todd, Systems Analyst, Oven Digital Object Oriented Perl Damian Conway 1st Edition August 1999 Softbound, 500 pages, $42.95 (US) ISBN: 1-884777-79-1 www.manning.com/conway For Review Copy Contact Helen Trimes ### ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe: send "unsubscribe burbank-pm-list" to majordomo@pm.org << >> To get a human's attention: send email to owner-burbank-pm-list@pm.org << >> To become independently wealthy: buy low, sell high. << From Jim.Meyer at disney.com Wed Jul 28 09:48:38 1999 From: Jim.Meyer at disney.com (Jim Meyer) Date: Wed Aug 4 23:59:09 2004 Subject: B.pm: First Ever Burbank Perl Mongers Meeting Message-ID: <379F1846.38C65E66@fa.disney.com> Well, this week has gotten away from me entirely; it only took a promotion at work and training a new guy in my group to destroy any ideas I had of getting things done.
