Poised Solutions Tech Library

General Coding happens mainly in fourth generation languages, such as Python, Perl, Lua and Java. General coding languages tend to improve times in the development life cycle, and allow concentration on the problem at hand as opposed to being concerned with how the program interfaces with the hardware it is running on.

General Coding Categories

Python Book Reviews

Python is a great general purpose programming language. Python is often described as a Pseudo Code language that works, and it definitely has the batteries included and a lot of libraries supporting it. The Python Books reviewed here are fairly core Python books, Python has some great introspection tools and there is a very active Python community. The language itself is also very simple to get an initial handle on, and very powerful once mastered. Python has been altered fundamentally form version 2 Python to version 3 Python, so as the new version 3 oriented books come, some will be added to the Poised Solutions Tech Library. The books in the Python Book Review section are some of the best books for a Python Developer.

Perl Book Reviews

Perl is a great language for Administration, especially Unix Administration and Linux Administration and is also the undisputed champ when it comes to text handling and regular expressions. One of Perl's motto's is it can be done in many ways, and therein lies the grace of Perl. Perl is a beautiful programming language, full of idiosynchracies; different and novel ways to express solutions. And, Perl is one of the most succinct programming languages. Perl coding is an art form, that mixes in big helpings of fun with solid and timely solutions. The Perl Books reviewed in the Poised Solutions Tech Library are some of the best Perl books for a Perl Developer.

Lua Book Reviews

Lua is often used as an embedded language in system languages. Lua is very lite weight and allows for higher level logic to be quickly developed against system engines. There is not too much Lua documentation around, and the there are only a few books on Lua in the Poised Solutions Library. Lua is a fun language to code in, and is often found in game systems because of the low overhead.

Java Book Reviews

Java originally was a language designed for digital TV, Java can now be found in many places. Java uses a very obvious and enforced Object Oriented style, There are many books on Java, the Poised Solutions' Library concentrates on some of the more defining or practical books for Java.
