Couverture de l’ouvrage Perl 6 Quick Syntax Reference
This condensed code and syntax reference book presents the Raku (formerly known as Perl 6) scripting language in a well-organized format designed to be used time and again. It contains an easy-to-read and use guide to Raku for software application development.

Using this book will give you a feel for the language, as well as an introduction to the different features (such as object-oriented programming) that make Raku such a unique language. You won?t find any technical jargon, bloated samples, drawn out history lessons, or witty stories in this book. Perl 6 Quick Syntax Reference is packed with useful information and is a must-have for any developer new to Raku.


What You Will Learn
  • Use Raku expressions and operators 
  • Work with Raku data access and persistent data
  • Process complex data structures available in Raku
  • Work with functions, modules, and more
