RegEx is supported in all major development environments (for use in editing and working with code) and will thus appeal to anyone using these tools. In addition, every JavaScript developer should be using RegEx, but most don't as it has never been taught to them properly before. Developers using ASP, C#, ColdFusion, Java JSP, PHP, Perl, Python, and more can (and should) be using RegEx, and so every one of them is a potential reader too. The reader of this book will learn how to:
Match characters sets
Match repeating characters (using minimums and maximums if needed)
Match (or ignore) based on case
Build sub-expressions
Use all of the special characters
Work with excape sequences
Use POSIX classes to simplify complex expressions
Use back-references
Use look-behind operators
