Brilliant Idea of the Day

O’Reilly should totally make board books.

Suggested titles:

  • The Very Hungry Regular Expression
  • Goodnight Ruby
  • The Ugly Duckling’s Guide to Perl
  • Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You C++?
  • The Tale of Peter Python

Hmm. I could be on to something…

    Personally, I love the idea of a Very Hungry Regular Expression. :)

    Now, now… you should never let your regular expressions be overly greedy.

    And *that* is why I chose that one. Bonus points for Tom. :-)
