Reviews for Perl / Tk Pocket Reference

1. Does what it says on the tin ...

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, August 12th, 2002

   `Mastering Perl/Tk' is a big book, weighing in at over 700 pages, so it's a bit cumbersome if you keep finding yourself thumbing through the pages.

   Like all of O'Reilly Pocket References, the Perl/Tk Pocket Reference is small, perfectly formed and contains pretty much all the information you're likely to need.

   If you use Perl/Tk a lot, then you shouldn't have to think about whether or not you need to buy this, and it really will fit in your pocket, unlike it's big brother!

2. Very Useful as a Quick Reference

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, January 12rd, 2001

   This little pocket guide is very, very useful, as there is soo many parameters to remember, it becomes especially useful.

   After reading the Learning Perl/Tk book, this little pocket reference takes over and you'll never have to look at Learning Perl/Tk again.

   Great Buy.

3. Better than the main book.

   Rated 3 out of 5 stars, December 12th, 2000

   This booklet is a companion to the Learning Perl/Tk book. Being new to Perl and having as my introduction Learning Perl and Programming Perl I anticipated the same high quality from these two books(learning Perl/Tk and Perl/Tk reference) I was saddened by the first but cheered by the second. If you want a guide you are probably best to buy this and read the man pages. I would not waste my money on the bigger book.
