[Plug] Which scripting language?
|
I've got a couple of Barnes & Noble gift certificates to play with, so I
thought I'd pick up a book about either Perl or Python. I'd like some
advice from some of the ultra-ninja-foo hackers out there ;) -- which one
should I start with? I realize that Perl is established and used more than
Python, but I've heard Very Good Things about Python, namely, that it's a
"cleaner" language, and that more and more people are using it.
As far as the books go, I was thinking O'Reilly. If I go Perl, should I get
the camel book or the llama book? Anybody have any <$40 favorites by
another publisher? How about for Python? TIA for any advice.
