| By: Arun Jagota ISBN: 0970029721 Publisher: Bioinformatics By the Bay Release Date: 15 January, 2001 Bioscience book rank: 2030445 | This is a brief introduction to some of the things that one can do in Perl; it lacks scope and has few useful examples, but gives a flavor for what is available. It needs some programming experience to get much out of it. Although the editorial review claims that Perl for Bioinformatics "introduces Perl to the bio/computer scientist interested in or working in bioinformatics," this is really a bit of a misnomer. While it does contain a decent quantity of useful, relevant reference information for a bioinformatics student, the (dollar) price tag is far too high. Furthermore, no real introduction to Perl is found in the book, save the preface in pp. 4-5--that is to say, some basic knowledge of Perl will be an absolute requirement. As a student, I would personally lean toward any of the excellent O'Reilly bioinformatics and/or Perl books myself; they are well written, contain much of the same relevant information with additional explanations, and at a much lower price per page. Bottom line: You may find Perl for Bioinformatics useful as a pocket reference guide, but it is probably not worth the astronomical price. Look at other general intro books on Perl, and ask yourself: how much useful stuff can any human cram into a 43-page book for beginners? The answer is: not much. I see very little sense in investing in this tiny book. | |
