highly recommended

Concise and to the point.

this is a great little book. takes you right through regular expressions and has been a good reference. Also has an index that tells you about specific implementations of regular expressions.

This is the way to learn Regex!

I'll make this short and to the point - just like this book on Regular Expressions. I have read a couple and they are all pale by comparison to this little gem. (Nice little pocket reference size). This is by far the BEST presentation on the subject I have ever seen.

Also, to his credit, Ben actually responded to my inquiries on a couple MINOR typos. The treatise is so excellent I was able to easily diagnose and resolve my concerns.

My advise: If you want to really get a strong foundation on Regular Expressions buy this book!! I would not suggest you purchase the eBook though as you can only use it on one computer, (for obvious reasons) so I bought the book TWICE because I found it a must have to carry along.

Why can't more computer books be written this brilliantly?

Just what I needed.

Great introduction to RegEx. Information was presented in easily digestible chunks. Coverage is sufficent for all but the most die-hard RegEx users. I really like books that don't waste my time, and this one fits the bill.

"Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes" - Expresses Itself Very Well

Being a novice to the world of Regular Expressions, I was looking for something informative, yet easy to understand. "Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes" fits the bill. It quickly offers an introduction to Regular Expressions, and continues by providing usage explanations and examples. As with any type of "language" (e.g. Perl, HTML, etc.), improvement comes with actually getting down to it, and using Regular Expressions. I have a long way to go to perfect my RegEx skills, but this book has me on the right path. One item not included, which would be of help, at least to me, is some sort of "Quick Reference" card.

A solid introduction to the subject

When I started to discuss the topic of regular expressions to my students I noticed some fear and eyes starting to glaze over so I went and purchased a copy for every student in my class. It was small and affordable. Now I have a class room of students that are on their way to being savvy programmers or at least ones smart enough to keep a copy of this book nearby whenever arcane syntax like an RE passes their way. I highly recommend this book for folks learning all about regular expressions.
