Summary
In this first chapter, we have learned the importance of the regular expressions and how they became such a relevant tool for the programmers.
We also studied from a yet non-practical point of view, the basic regular expression syntax and some of the key features, such as character classes and quantifiers.
In the next chapter, we are going to jump over to Python to start practicing with the re module.
