  good resource/book on expressions

  Posted by Bret Williams on March 5, 2010 at 4:26 pm

  I’ve been putting it off for about 10 years, but since it appears that expressions is here to stay I’d like to finally learn how to use them worth a darn. Is there a good book, tutorial, DVD, or web site for just getting the gist of this stuff? Enough to know if an expression would be appropriate in a situation and maybe some basic examples, etc.

  A book from a brick and mortar would be great as i’m sitting around for the next couple days.

  The COW’s AE Expressions Forum is a great resource and Marcus
  Geduld has a dedicated Expressions book. JJ Gifford has a very well-structured inroduction at https://www.jjgifford.com/expressions/

  There are other non-COW related sites – Google and you should find a couple of good ones.

  These three pages point to many useful resources, including free chapters from Marcus’s book and many useful example from Dan:

  “Expression examples”

  “Expression reference”

  “Expression basics”
