Think Perl 6: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist

by Laurent Rosenfeld, with Allen B. Downey

About this book

Laurent Rosenfeld introduces programming through Perl 6, combining an explanation of basic concepts with exercises and increasingly substantial examples. The first part develops the use of variables, functions, loops, recursion, strings and data structures.

Later chapters examine object-oriented and functional programming, grammars, regular expressions and techniques for processing text. Worked examples and debugging discussions connect the language features with approaches to solving problems. Appendices include further technical material and exercise solutions, followed by an index. This complete May 2017 Green Tea Press edition preserves the authors’ examples, diagrams and original licensing notices.
