From wallisds at gmail.com Fri Mar 2 09:28:16 2012 From: wallisds at gmail.com (Dawn Wallis) Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2012 12:28:16 -0500 Subject: [baltimorepm] Meeting in March Message-ID: Hello Baltimore.pm Group, Our meeting this month falls just before St. Patrick's Day! Wear something green, or not. I won't pinch you, probably. I'll try to get some beer to this meeting if you like to drink, and the usual pizza and soda. There was an overwhelming response to meatless pizza so there will be more of that this meeting - speak up if you like something else. I have updated the meetup page with our new date and schedule. It looks something like this: Thursday, March 15th at the ETC Get details here: March Meeting on meetup.com @6:30pm you will likely eat free pizza and drink free drinks, maybe even beer! @7:00pm you will learn about stuff or hear someone talk about stuff you may already know! - Mike Barry will get us all using Template::Toolkit - Stephen Belcher will dazzle us with SASS - Dawn Wallis (yeah that's me) will introduce us to Regular Expressions We also need to talk about some housekeeping issues, like where we can meet for our next meetup and when! I will probably also try to get you all to come to another Perl event I'm helping organize called the DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop. If you haven't registered by now, you have missed the early bird price, but you can still register! http://www.dcbpw.org. If you are unemployed or a student, it's free! Please be sure to RSVP for the March meeting so I can get the right amount of food and drinks. I hope to see each of you on Thursday, March 15th!

Sometimes it gets tricky to get inside. Tonight, if you find you cannot get in or the elevator is not allowing you to go up, give me a call so I know you are there: (443) 333-9875 Thanks, Dawn Wallis Baltimore.pm Co-Organizer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hopefully you all have registered for this one day event by now! If not go to www.dcbpw.org and sign up. * Item 2 - April's meeting and meeting space* Our April meeting is still TBD, and I might postpone it to May since DCBPW is in April. What are your thoughts on this? Would you like to still meet in April even if it is just socially? or would you like to have the option for a third Thursday meeting in April (like we do every month)? I'm still working on getting meeting space for our group, any suggestions are welcome. * Item 3 - Follow up from March's meeting -- "**capturing multiple matches in regex without loop*ing" Earlier today I was talking with a friend who showed me an interesting, and sort of obvious solution to a question presented at our last meeting. [paraphrasing]"if you are looking for every match in a string and using 'g' how do you capture all the results without knowing how many to expect?" Many answers were posed from "I don't know" to "use a loop". But this is a simple solution that does not involve a loop for capturing purposes anyway: Use assignment. See my example: my $str = "Stuffed animal 7878997! stuffing stuffy foo face"; my @matches = $str =~/(stuff)/g; print $#matches +1; #+1 for human readable As you can see there is always more than one way to do it! This is just an example showing how many matches occur, but you can see from this one example much more could build from this. Well don't be strangers. Reply with more tips or questions and your thoughts about meeting in April!!! Thanks!

Message-ID: Hi Baltimore, *- DCBPW -* The Washington DC and Baltimore Perl Mongers groups would like to remind you about the upcoming inaugural DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop (DCBPW) occurring on Saturday, April 14th, at the CCBC Catonsville campus just outside Baltimore. DCBPW2012 will feature a keynote from Stevan Little, lead developer of the Moose module and p5-mop project, as well as 13 other talks in two tracks, and a lightning talk session. One track is devoted to beginner-level Perl talks, including an introduction to the light-weight Dancer web framework as well as introductions to Perl testing and regular expressions. The second track features a variety of "awesome Perl" talks ranging from data visualization with the Perl Data Language (PDL) to hooking your doorbell up to the Internet. Regardless of your skill level with Perl, we think you'll find a number of interesting presentations at DCBPW! Registration is still open -- $50 for normal attendees; free for students and the currently unemployed. More details, as well as the registration form, can be found at the DCBPW website . We hope to see you all in a few weeks for a fun day of Perl! *- Job -* I was recently contacted by a Recruiter to see if I know anyone who would be interested in working for a company to convert Perl to PHP.
