[Recife-pm] "Higher-Order Perl" disponibilizado gratuitamente

[Ulisses Montenegro]

"Most Perl programmers were originally trained as C and Unix programmers, so
the Perl programs that they write bear a strong resemblance to C programs.
However, Perl incorporates many features that have their roots in other
languages such as Lisp. These advanced features are not well understood and
are rarely used by most Perl programmers, but they are very powerful. They
can automate tasks in everyday programming that are difficult to solve in
any other way. One of the most powerful of these techniques is writing
functions that manufacture or modify other functions. For example, instead
of writing ten similar functions, a programmer can write a general pattern
or framework that can then create the functions as needed according to the
pattern. For several years Mark Jason Dominus has worked to apply functional
programming techniques to Perl. Now Mark brings these flexible programming
methods that he has successfully taught in numerous tutorials and training
sessions to a wider audience.


   - Introduces powerful programming methods — new to most Perl programmers
   — that were previously the domain of computer scientists
   - Gradually builds up confidence by describing techniques of progressive
   sophistication
   - Shows how to improve everyday programs and includes numerous engaging
   code examples to illustrate the methods"
