[boulder.pm] Perl instructors?

[Walter Pienciak]

Hi,

I've gotten contacted by a publisher's representative for Manning,
which is trying to promote a new book "Elements of Programming with Perl",
which was "written to be a useful resource to those interested in
learning how to program using Perl as a first language."

For what it's worth, she says that "Tom Christiansen has indicated . . .
he plans to give the book '5 Camels' and should be posting a review shortly"
and that "in her December '99 book review at perlmonth.com, Rachel Rawlings
called it, 'the well-written equivalent of a first-year computer
science text with all concepts and examples explained in Perl.'"

The gist of it is that she wants to send Perl instructors and institutions
that offer Perl programming courses some directed spam related to the
book.  Maybe there's even a free book in it for you, I dunno.

If you're a Perl instructor and would like to hear what she has to say,
please forward to walter at io.frii.com your name, e-mail address, and
physical mailing address.
