Autor

Tom Christiansen is a freelance consultant specializing in Perl training and writing. After working for several years for TSR Hobbies (of Dungeons and Dragons fame), he set off for college where he spent a year in Spain and five in America, dabbling in music, linguistics, programming, and some half-dozen different spoken languages. Tom finally escaped UW-Madison with B.A.s in Spanish and computer science and an M.S. in computer science. He then spent five years at Convex as a jack-of-all-trades working on everything from system administration to utility and kernel development, with customer support and training thrown in for good measure. Tom also served two terms on the USENIX Association Board of directors. With over fifteen years' experience in UNIX system administration and programming, Tom presents seminars internationally. Living in the foothills above Boulder, Colorado, surrounded by mule deer, skunks, and the occasional mountain lion and black bear, Tom takes summers off for hiking, hacking, birding, music making, and gaming. Nathan Torkington is a banjo player, father, and husband. His crimes in the computing community include: coauthor of the Perl Cookbook, editor for O'Reilly and Associates, content coordinator for the Open Source Convention and Perl Conference, and project manager for perl6.

Rezensionen

"Mit der zweiten Auflage des englischsprachigen Werkes Perl Cookbook haben die beiden Autoren Tom Christiansen und Nathan Torkington bewiesen, dass sie die Qualität der ersten Auflage noch toppen können. [...] bietet praxisnahe Lösungen und Beispiele, die Perl-Programmierern viele Mühe und Zeit sparen. Die Autoren schneiden Probleme an, die in der täglichen Programmierpraxis früher oder später auftreten, und präsentieren wenige Zeilen später bereits eine Lösung für das Problem. Dadurch und durch die Quantität und Qualität der angesprochenen Problemfälle und Lösungen prädestiniert sich das Perl Cookbook für alle engagierten Perl-Programmierer, die schnell und zielgerichtet programmieren möchten. Fazit: Biolek, Zacherl und Konsorten können einpacken, wenn der O Reilly-Verlag wieder eins seiner Kochbücher veröffentlicht. [...] 927 Seiten voller Informationen und nützlicher Codeschnipsel wurden von Tom Christiansen und Nathan Torkington verfasst, die neben Quantität einen großen Wert auf Qualität legten, was sich im lockerflockigen Schreibstil und dem hohen Nutzwert niederschlägt. Das Perl Cookbook ist in der zweiten Auflage ein heißer Kandidat auf die Perl-Referenz." - Tino Hahn, webcritics.de
