[Buffalo-pm] December Meeting :: Catalyst Hackathon :: Thursday December 13th

[Ben. B.]

Hey everybody!

I hope everyone is psyched for the mini-hackathon on Thursday. In the
spirit of hackathons, I'm posting some info to help everyone be ready
to start hacking upon arrival. Basically what I've prepared is a code
generator that will provide a shortcut from a generic Catalyst
application (created with catalyst.pl) to one with a user system
complete with administrative tools.

It currently resides here:
http://bennymack.com:81/~ben/Catalyst-MyApp-0.01.tar.gz

At the very least, attempt to run "perl Makefile.PL". If it passes all
the prerequisite requirements then you should be good to go for the
hackathon!

I will be available to reply to any feedback between now and Thursday
with regards to Catalyst::MyApp. Another thing to think about and
shoot ideas around is what type of application we will be creating.

That is all for now.

Ben
