Editorial Review

Product Description
This text contains a picture of experimental high energy physics based on the research work of Martin Perl, discoverer of the tau lepton and the third generation of elementary particles, and 1982 Wolf Prize winner. Using reprints of his articles with his commentaries, the author presents the various aspects of the research life of an experimenter in science: the pleasures and risks of experimental work, the pain and despair with experiments that are useless or fail, the dreaming about experiments that were not carried out, the constant search for innovation and creativity in the work, and the joy of discovery. The articles and commentaries range from the early days of bubble chambers and spark chambers in the 1950s, to the author's present research, experiments at an electron-position collider and a search for free quarks. The book should be of interest to the general reader as well as the scientist. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
-The only book that focuses on the usage of XML with the most popular scripting languages, including Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Rebol, TCL, and Mac OS X's AppleScript.
-Complete coverage of the core XML processing issues, including the basics of parsing XML documents, converting XML to and from different formats and translating objects for use with databases.
-This book goes beyond the basics into advanced topics, such as using the SAX API for Perl, and using SOAP and XML-RPC to share XML formatted information over a network connection.Amazon.com Review
Aimed at experienced programmers, Processing with Perl, Python, and PHP is a guide to processing XML with popular scripting languages. The author is a strong advocate of script, as opposed to C++ or Java, on the grounds of speed of development, ease of use, and cross-platform support. With explanations and examples, he shows how to parse XML using Perl, Python, or PHP and offers brief notes on other scripting languages. To make sense of the book, readers need to be already familiar with the script language of their choice, and to a lesser extent with XML itself.

The opening chapters offer a brief introduction to XML and DTD (Document Type Definition) files and explain the basic concepts of parsing XML using event-driven or tree-based APIs. Next comes a long section on XML and Perl, covering the XML::Parser module, Perl and Unicode, generating and converting XML, and using SOAP or XML-RPC. A parallel section shows how the same things can be achieved with XML and Python, and there's a further chapter on Zope, the Python application server. PHP has a shorter section, focusing on XML parsing, working with RSS (Rich Site Summary) XML documents, and XML-RPC. The last part of the book offers a chapter each on four other scripting languages: REBOL, Ruby, Tcl, and AppleScript.

The snag with this book is that few developers work with all these languages, and covering so many limits the detail on any one. Even so, it is interesting to compare the differences between the various approaches, particularly between Perl and Python, which are the author's main area of expertise. There are also helpful insights on how to convert XML to and from database formats. --Tim Anderson, Amazon.co.uk ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Okay book, but are you using all these languages?
This book is okay, but is your development team really using all these languages?If you need to learn XML with a certain technology, get Professional PHP4 XML or Manning's new Java and XML book and many others.Not only do these books cover the same material as this one, they cover some really advanced topics such as architecture and design issues as well as giving you heads up on the latest versions such as php 4.3.0.This book also doesn't nearly tell you about all the potential problems that you can have with working with PHP where Professional PHP4 XML will answer just about every question you ever had plus everything else you didn't think of.

5-0 out of 5 stars A must have book
XML is not so difficult, but when coping with Perl or PHP, you need something to tell you exactly HOW to do that. Add to this Python, a very well written book, and you get Martin C. Brown's book.
I think that if you're really serious into programming XML with Python and Perl, you absolutely must have this book. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars You need this before you meet the "real world"
Very good. Author isn't only describing "how to debug Perl programs" but he's
mainly concerned in "how to write Perl programs that you won't need to debug" - this
sounds better, right ? A "hands-on" developer experience brought by someone who obviously
stepped on most of errors people may step and trying to warn you before you're doing
the same.
If "Programming Perl" is about "Perl", this book is about "real-world-Perl" and .. hey ..
those things aren't the same, as you should know (you *will* after reading the book).
Thank you, Martin !

5-0 out of 5 stars It's about time...
After a countless number of Perl books have been published, not much has been published like this book.The Learning Perl books are great, but learning the syntax isn't always the needed information to programmers.This book is different in that it focuses on some of the quirky odd things that you may run into programming.After designing in Perl for 3 years, I still run into times the code does not work the way I thought it would (maybe from thinking in C, Java, etc terms) and need a book of quirks instead a book of syntax.Finally, a book about how Perl behaves (or misbehaves).Great work.Long live Perl.

4-0 out of 5 stars The CD-ROM is very useful, worth of spending $$$!!
The ultimate programmer stocking stuffer, this book takes readers beyond what is found in other beginning-intermediate Perl books by providing more than 50 Perl scripts to do useful things, such as tricks with CGI, handling Palm data and using XML. CD-ROM is filled with more than 50 Perl scripts readers can download and use right away to do useful work.

4-0 out of 5 stars It's nice to know someone has been there before!
I'm familiar with Perl, but I'm no Perl guru. For me, the book had a lot of new material in it, including two items (XML::Parser and Archive::Tar) that I really wanted but didn't even know I should be looking for.

It is full of twists and tricks for UNIX/Linux and Microsoft versions of Perl (can't comment on Macs as I'm not a Mac user), although it does not always make it clear whether a utility will or will not go under a particular operating system. The bits which are clearly platform specific are found at the back of the book in their own section, and the URLs are given for important sites.

I kept typing modified examples in - just to see if things really were that easy - and I wasn't disappointed. I should really have got the CD out earlier and saved myself some typing :) This one is living on the bookshelf over my PC, and its CD is going in a proper jewel case. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars This book lived up to its billing...
I purchased this book YEARS ago to learn something about javascript, so I could better customize the simple scripts I had. I particularly liked the CD of scripts that was included with the book.

I still have this book as a reference for making adjustments in javascripts or writing simple code. I primarily use it to alter existing code.

This book makes it almost child's play to alter this code.

Well written and easy to understand. I loved it.

5-0 out of 5 stars best book for instant solutions....it come good code
It is very usefull book web developer/designer

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Practical Book
I have to say that this book is excellent from a practical view point - you need some complex JavaScript that you can use in the real world ?Then this is the book for you - want to learn Javascript ?Then look for something else.I gotta say that the first guy who did a review here is a bit of a pratt - it's not called 'learn simple Javascript' !!

Excellent.....

1-0 out of 5 stars Of little value
I suppose if you knew all there was to know about Java Script you could get through this book.I, on the other hand could make it to page 140 before I gave up in desperation.
The CD that accompanies the book has numerous HTML files which supposedly serve as examples of the Java Script tutorial in the text.In reality the text is nothing more than a supposed explanation of each file in turn.
The problem is that the authors have selected very complex examples.This wouldn't have been a problem if they had taken the time to introduce and explain all of the concepts before they used them in the code.In stead, they sprinkle snippets of seemingly arcane script constructions which have nothing to do with the chapter subject and with little or no explanation.
For example, a sample script in the chapter on arrays and objects uses a very complex page layout with extensive use of frames.The chapter on frames comes later in the book and the user has no idea of what "self.workarea.location.href" is all about.
I could go on but let me just say that I found this book to be useless.

5-0 out of 5 stars Javascript made easy.
These guys are masters of keeping code simple while being able to do amazing things. Also they organize what you need in a way that makes it easy to find and expand upon your initial goals.

I have only the highest recommendation for this book. ... Read more
