It's explained in a very nicely matter and the examples are pretty useful. Even when is dead old...it's still a great reference for anyone interested in learning Forth...
If you haven't tried Forth before...go ahead and read this book...and BTW...use pForth......more

The reason I give this book four stars is mainly because Lua as a programming language...doesn't really engage me...but otherwise...it's a pretty good book......more
The book is good...written by one of the authors of Lua...it introduce all of the things that makes Lua a cool language...but...I can't give it 5 starThe book is good...written by one of the authors of Lua...it introduce all of the things that makes Lua a cool language...but...I can't give it 5 stars simply because, no matter how cool it is...Lua fails to really excite me as a language...cool to learn...but doesn't get me in the mood of thinking about starting a big project with it......more

Maybe the tone of the book is too serious...or maybe because knowing a lot about Scripting Languages I dind't feel like I was learning anything "groundbreaking"...
Would I recommend this book? Well...for a total Lua noob...sure...why not...but this book alone might not be enough to leverage all the goodies that the language can provide......more

Nice book as it gives you a tour through all the important commands in Go...the problem is that it kinda feels like reading a HelpMe...some real life Nice book as it gives you a tour through all the important commands in Go...the problem is that it kinda feels like reading a HelpMe...some real life example would have been helpful and appreciated...

This book, just like all the "Real World" series gives you a deep introduction into the language and allow you to start coding pretty fast...of courseThis book, just like all the "Real World" series gives you a deep introduction into the language and allow you to start coding pretty fast...of course...if you have used any Functional programming language before...that really helps and OCaml has of course some aspects that makes it not so easy to learn...
The more you read this book, the more you're going to like OCaml...it's a really nice language -:)
The book covers the basics like Lists and Patterns, Records, Variants and Error-Handling. But of course it goes beyond with Functors, Objects and Command-Line Parsing...not letting important concepts like JSON handling Concurrent Programming aside. So...it's a pretty complete reference to start out.
By the way...the book is 509 pages...so it's pretty long...but full of examples and demonstrations......more

I was excited to read this book, because it's been a while since I read any R book...but...I gotta admit...this is not my kind of book...as I discoverI was excited to read this book, because it's been a while since I read any R book...but...I gotta admit...this is not my kind of book...as I discovered that obviously I had minus one experience in Bioinformatics...
The book is not short but not long either...340 pages...and it's full of recipes...
It starts with a basic introduction to R, which should be appreciated by newbies...but for more season developers that just can be skipped out...
The are chapters dedicated to Sequence Analysis, Protein Structure Analysis and even Machine Learning in Bioinformatics...
Of course there's a lot of new packages that are used for the recipes and well as many interesting graphics...
If you have some knowledge of Bioinformatics...then you should for sure get this book...if you're not...well...you can buy it anyway...even if you don't understand anything...it is still a book about R and it's full of interesting codes...so you might end learning a bunch of new things -;)
The recipes are well explained and the result is always shown...which is good so we can know exactly what to expect......more
