Nice Review of Regular Expression Pocket Reference
Brian Turner wrote a nice review of my book, Regular Expression Pocket Reference, for Free Software Magazine. As part of the review process he describes the relevance to free software. Here’s how my book stands up:
By mastering regular expressions in any implementation, you have prepared yourself to use free software to the best advantage. Three of the Pâs referred to in the LAMP acronym are represented: Perl, PHP, and Python. With this reference at your side, you can demonstrate the usefulness of free software by finding answers and solving problems quickly using regular expressions. Regular expressions are not unique to free software, but you will find them fully implemented in many free software tools. While not specifically promotional of proprietary software, .NET and C# are covered.
Guess I should have left out the .NET part.
