This is only a partial list, i.e. those which have already been approved.
They are still picking more to complete the schedule.

Regardless, it's an awesome event.  I recommend it to anyone.

Cheers,

I agree. I went last year, and it seems like they have better (and more) talks lined up for this year. It's only a 3 hour drive from Buffalo, so its not a bad ride at all.

Holy crap! They teach perl in high school now? Awesome. Sounds like more fun
than Pascal.

I've never taught a perl class or a high school class, so take any of this
with a grain of salt, but I think following the Learning Perl book is a
pretty standard way to do it. brian d foy mentioned once that there were
classroom-oriented workbooks from O'Reilly for it, I think. Not sure where
to find more info on that.

Oh wait - here's some for sale on Amazon -- 5 left, order soon :-)
http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Perl-Student-Workbook-brian/dp/0596009968
Probably not affordable for a whole class, but might help structure a
course.

For what it's worth, if this is a student's first exposure to any
programming language, there are various opinions on whether Perl is a good
choice at PerlMonks:

Message-ID: <cd66f9fd0709251249t171f2323w81bf62689611ed88@mail.gmail.com>

All,

I'm looking for a module or Linux command that will allow me to get the
date/time one minute ago. I know this sounds trivial (just subtract 1 from
minute) but it can get messy  at midnight on the first of the month, or the
first day of the year, etc. It's not hard, just a pain to code that up, and
it'd be nice if there was already something that could do the work for me
:-)

Does anyone know of anything that will do this?

In Perl:

 	print localtime(time - 60);


There's probably an easy way to do it in Linux, too. But it doesn't get
much easier than that.

Message-ID: <C31EEA95.47430%eye@buffalo.edu>

I agree with Josh -- time()-60, time()-86400 for yesterday, etc. That's what
I always do.

If you're looking to take "10/1/07 00:00" - 1 minute and get "9/30/07 23:59"
you could parse it yourself, use localtime, then subtract from the minute
(or whatever) value and then run it back through the built-in
Time::Local::timelocal_nocheck() function. timelocal_nocheck does the
inverse of localtime and accepts out-of-bounds values like -1 or 61 minutes,
etc. 

Also, you could use my personal favorite date/time modules: Time::ParseDate
and Time::CTime. You'd say something like:

strftime('%D %H:%M', localtime(parsedate("10/1/07 00:00")-60))

Also, I believe the DateTime CPAN module is regarded to be extremely
comprehensive and object-oriented, but it's slow and gigantic.

One more example that should be platform independent:

use DateTime;

my $dt1 = DateTime->now();
print $dt1->hms() . "\n";
my $dt2 = $dt1->clone->subtract( minutes => 1 );
print $dt2->hms() . "\n";

Mongers,

For those of you who are members of Facebook, I have created a "Buffalo Perl
Mongers" group. The site will allow us to make announcements, post photos,
videos, questions, etc. Basically I'm too busy/lazy to get a wiki up and
running :-)
