Software Engineering with Ada by Grady Booch and Doug Bryan
provides an excellent foundation for understanding object
oriented programming..."heavy Perl," if you will.
It's about the thought process behind the coding and will
help you understand the symantic of much of the code that
passes through this site. Booch also provides a method for
designing programs...very important stuff for the beginner.
As you grow, you will choose to use or discard Booch's
suggestions for design and implementation.
It was my first computer book and I use it extensively
in my Perl programming. I just ignore the Ada and generate
Perl for the examples.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
