5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with simple concise examples, April 4, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Practical Text Mining with Perl (Wiley Series on Methods and Applications in Data Mining) (Hardcover)
Not just one of the best Perl books I've ever read but one of the best programming books in general.
The author does an excellent job building up your Perl skill set from basic introduction to complex regexs.
The fact that all the examples are from the literary works of Edgar Allan Poe doesn't hurt either.
Very well written and makes an excellent reference book later on A++

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for corpus linguistics, June 30, 2011
This review is from: Practical Text Mining with Perl (Wiley Series on Methods and Applications in Data Mining) (Hardcover)
Although the name is right as "text mining", I'd put a subtitle saying something like "An introduction to corpus linguistics". This is by far the best programming book on this subject, the one that convinced me that I should spend more time learning and mastering Perl. The author doesn't waste time and go straight to the point of using the language to explore real texts. Very, very good book!
