Seconded! It's great.

I'm particularly amused by the part where it says "Of course, knowing about such-and-such isn't necessary for a basic understanding of regular expressions - which is why we'll be going into it in great detail".

(Well, it says something like that - the book's at home and I'm not).

/me was reading it the week before last on a Greek beach - wish I was still there!
