[Pdx-pm] Fwd: UG News - Best of Ebook Deal of the Day - Save 60% - Top 25 of 2010

Thu Jan 20 02:22:08 PST 2011

Two thoughts:

A book on R in the top 25? Really?!

There are approximately three million O'Reilly titles on Perl. And like one
on Python.
When someone buys a Perl book, they have to choose from the... many ways to
learn about it.
When they want to buy a Python book, there's only one book to read.

Anyway, I'm sure the Perl6 book will produce smashing sales figures when
there's a real official Perl 6. Until then, Perl5 is just a mature language
of which the adherents all own several books already.

*shrug*

-Joshua

PS Yes, I exaggerated the imaginary numbers above. That said, no real
numbers were harmed in the writing of the email.
