Message-ID: <9EC50C2E-3F09-11D9-9141-000393B85610@mac.com> Hallo Bielefeld-pm, da mein Freund nächste Woche in der Nähe meiner Schwester arbeiten muss, werde ich diese Gelegenheit nutzen und meine Schwester in Tübingen besuchen. Leider bin ich dann aber von Sonntag bis Donnerstag da unten, kann also diesen Dienstag nicht zum Treffen kommen. Nächste Woche kann ich aber (falls ihr das verschieben wollt). Dann stellt sich auch noch die Frage, ob das Dezembertreffen wirklich am 28.12. stattfinden soll. Mir ist das recht, denn meine Eltern wohnen ja in Bielefeld, aber ich weiss nicht, wie es bei euch ist. Ach ja, diesen Link zum Cover von "Designing Perl6" habe ich gestern bei Slashdot entdeckt: http://otierney.net/images/perl6.gif Viel Spaß dabei und viele Grüße, Judith From taulmarill at xgn.de Thu Nov 25 16:35:30 2004 From: taulmarill at xgn.de (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?J=FCrgen_Peters?=) Date: Thu Nov 25 16:38:36 2004 Subject: [Bielefeld-pm] Kann am Dienstag leider nicht.

Also der 28.12. stellt für mich kein Problem dar, ich würde hier aber trotzdem folgenden Vorschlag machen wollen: Wir könnten ja für November und Dezember ein Treffen organisieren und uns dafür einen Zeitpunkt wählen, an dem so viele wie möglich (am besten alle) Zeit haben. Evtl. kann ich noch meinen Praktikanten motivieren auch mal vorbei zu schauen (der ist Perl Anfänger aber lernwillig), dann würden wir auch mal ein wenig mehr werden. > Ach ja, diesen Link zum Cover von "Designing Perl6" habe ich gestern bei > Slashdot > entdeckt: > > http://otierney.net/images/perl6.gif lol Grüsse, Jürgen Peters From sri at oook.de Fri Nov 26 11:47:42 2004 From: sri at oook.de (Sebastian Riedel) Date: Fri Nov 26 11:48:49 2004 Subject: [Bielefeld-pm] Kann am Dienstag leider nicht.

Auflage Oktober 2004 ISBN 3-89721-380-X 116 Seiten, EUR 14.00 Seit nunmehr über 5 Jahren beginnt der Tag in vielen IT-Firmen mit einem Schmunzeln -- über den allmorgendlichen Comic von Illiad. Dieses Buch vereinigt einige der besten Dialektübersetzungen der UFies diGriz, lurker69 und saminz. Auf anschauliche Weise beweist das Buch, dass in deutschsprachigen IT-Firmen nicht wie immer behauptet wird furchtbares Denglisch, sondern gepflegtes Platt, Saarländisch und Züritüütsch gesprochen wird. Vom WIRED Magazine als "Dilbert Killer" bezeichnet, vom Linux Magazine USA als beste Humor-Website in der Open Source-Bewegung gewählt und auf Amazon.com bis auf Platz 8 geklettert, hat "User Friendly the Comic Strip" seit 1997 Millionen von Fans auf der ganzen Welt gewonnen. Gezeichnet von J.D. "Illiad" Frazer, einem Kanadier mit tiefen Wurzeln in der Geek-Kultur, bietet User Friendly einen humorvollen Einblick in die IT-Welt. Vom unbeholfenen A.J. bis zum sarkastischen Greg, vom weisen und zugleich tückischen Sid zum arglosen Dust Puppy -- die User Friendly-Charaktere werden Ihnen nur allzu oft bekannt vorkommen.

Auflage Oktober 2004 ISBN 3-89721-387-7 876 Seiten, EUR 46.00 Diese zweite Auflage von Webdatenbank-Applikationen mit PHP und MySQL führt fort, was die erste Auflage zu einem Bestseller gemacht hat: Sie vermittelt Grundlagenwissen, um mit PHP und MySQL datenbankbasierte Webanwendungen programmieren zu können, veranschaulicht die praktische Umsetzung anhand einer komplexen Beispiel-Website und behält dabei die Prinzipien des guten Anwendungsdesigns im Auge. Neben einer Einführung in die Arbeit mit PHP und MySQL finden Sie in diesem Buch Informationen zu Webprotokollen, zur Modellierung und zum Entwurf relationaler Datenbanken, zur Session-Verwaltung und zur Installation frei verfügbarer Server- und Datenbanksoftware. Für die Neuauflage wurde das Buch komplett überarbeitet, stark erweitert und durch viele interessante Beispiele ergänzt. Schwerpunkt der Überarbeitung war die Umsetzung der neuen Features von PHP 5 und MySQL 4.1, aber auch die Verwendung von PEAR-Paketen: Das Buch wurde rund um den reichhaltigen Code-Fundus von PEAR neu gestaltet und zeigt Web-Entwicklern, wie sie PEAR-Pakete in ihre Websites integrieren können.

Sie zeigen, wie sich die Serverlast geschickt verteilen lässt, wie man die Performance steigern kann, wie sich das höchste Maß an Sicherheit erreichen lässt und wie man sinnvolle Backups macht.

Auflage August 2004 ISBN 3-89721-375-3 654 Seiten, EUR 36.00 Das Beste an diesem Handbuch ist der entspannte Stil des Autors: David Pogue schreibt freundlich, witzig und frei von überflüssigem Fachjargon - gut nachvollziehbar für Neulinge, aber auch gespickt mit fundiertem Fachwissen für Power User. Entscheidendes Plus des Buchs: Das im Sommer 2004 erscheinende Service Pack 2 für XP, das viele Änderungen und neue Features mit sich bringt, ist vollständig berücksichtigt. Eine Pressestimme: "Kritik und Fazit: Endlich einmal ein Buch, das wirklich hilfreich für die Praxis ist, statt wie andere nur auf dem Cover damit zu werben und kiloweise die Inhalte von "Hilfe-Dateien" zu reproduzieren. Verlag und Team haben ein Missing Manual erarbeitet, das bei keinem Windows XP fehlen sollte - auch bei keinem XP Pro: Ein Buch, das Sie schon immer gesucht haben, aber nie zu träumen wagten, es zu finden."

As you might guess, "Word Annoyances" ponders the problems, snarls, quirks, bugs, and just dumb things about Word that drive users nuts. The annoyances will encompass a range of topics: general misbehavior, creating and saving documents, text entry and editing, formatting and layout, printing, tables, macros, etc. Word is the most ubiquitous--and probably the most annoying--word processor on the planet. If any members of your group have annoyances they'd like to see solved, have them email marsee@oreilly.com with "Word Annoyances" in the subject line. Just have them note what version of Word and Windows they're using. As always, thanks for sharing. We'll make sure to get copies of "Word Annoyances" sent to your group shortly after publication. --Marsee *** An example: The Annoyance The wretched animated paper clip keeps appearing every time I try to get help from Office, and sometimes even when I'm just working. How can I get rid of it? The Fix Some people love the Office Assistant characters--Clippit (the paper clip), Rocky the Dog, the Office Cat, the Genius, Mother Nature--but I've never met these people. Everyone who mentions the Office Assistant wants to get rid of it. And anyone enthusing about the wonders of Merlin is a good candidate for the target end of a fire-hose demonstration. To prevent the Office Assistant from appearing, right-click the Office Assistant character that's currently bugging you and click Properties on the shortcut menu. On the Options tab of the Office Assistant dialog box, clear the Use The Office Assistant check box. Click OK. What if you want the Office Assistant back? Simply choose Help > Show The Office Assistant, and the brute is back with you. Invoking the Office Assistant like this selects the Use The Office Assistant check box on the Options tab of the Office Assistant dialog box, so you'll need to clear this check box when you want peace and quiet again.

Andererseits können wir uns auch trotzdem > treffen, und das Dezember-Treffen einfach zusätzlich vorverlegen, um > Terminvorschläge wird gebeten ;) Wir können uns auch morgen gerne Treffen, mein Vorschlag war eher so gedacht, dass wir im Dezember ein Meeting ausserhalb der Feiertage machen, damit mehr Leute Zeit haben. Da sich der Dienstag eingebürgert hat, würde ich den 14.12. vorschlagen, da am 21. der Eine oder Andere schon im Weihnachststress befinden könnte. Falls vorwihnachtlicher Stress für euch kein Thema ist, würde für den 21. sprechen, dass Sebastian da evtl. eher schon wieder da sein könnte. *zu-Sebastian-kuck* Wie sieht's bei dir aus, gibt's Neuigkeiten? Gruss, Jürgen p.s. evtl. kann ich Marco (mein Praktikant) dazu überreden, morgen unsere Runde zu berreichern. Das würde ich allerdings erst recht kurzfristig erfahren.

Wenn du magst, können wir uns aber gerne treffen. Ich köchel im moment hauptsächlich an Maypole und NEXT herum. Wenn du dazu was wissen möchtest, kann ich den einen oder anderen Codeschnipsel mitbringen. Ansonsten würde mich das Template Toolkit Buch interessieren, ich glaub' das hattest du in Verwahrung. Wenn du heute Zeit und Lust hast sag mir bitte kurz bescheid. Gruss, Jürgen
