Riassunto

Gain the skills to begin developing Perl 6 applications from the ground up in this hands-on compact book, which includes a foreword from Larry Wall, creator of Perl. Youll learn enough to get started building with Perl 6, using Perl 6s gradual typing, handy object orientation features, powerful parsing capabilities, and human-usable concurrency. After a short introduction, each chapter develops a small example project, explaining the Perl 6 features used. When the example is done, youll explore another aspect, such as optimizing further for readability or testing the code. 

Along the way youll see Perl 6 basics, such as variables and scoping; subroutines; classes and objects; regexes; and code testing. When youve mastered the basics, Perl 6 Fundamentals moves onto more advanced topics to give you a deeper understanding of the language. Youll learn, amongst other things, how to work with persistent storage, how to generate good error messages, and how to write tricky applications such as a file and directory usage graph and a Unicode search tool.

What You'll Learn

• Get coding with Perl 6
  
• Work on several hands-on examples and projects
  
• Integrate Python libraries into your Perl 6 programs
  
• Parse INI files using regexes and grammars
  
• Build a date time converter 
  
• Carry out refactoring and other automated tests
