Jonathan will be talking in-depth about developing Catalyst applications, a topic that he knows very well. He is a contributor to Catalyst, maintains numerous Catalyst plug-ins, and is rumored to be writing a book on the subject. Date: Tuesday January 16th 2007 Time: 7:00 p.m. Where: Performics @ 180 N La Salle 12th Floor RSVP: By noon January 15th to joshua.mcadams+20070116 at gmail.com The official meeting starts at 7, but there is talk of a group getting together before (or after) for a social. You guys can nail down the details on that :) Also, don't forget the Chicago.pm meeting to be held this Tuesday January 9th at IIT in Wheaton. Andy Lester, Pete Krawzcyk, and myself each have each picked four modules to present in a session called "New Modules For The New Year". Check out http://chicago.pm.org/ for more information. See you there, Josh * BTW, I still have a few Perl Mongers t-shirts to distribute to people. I'll be bringing them to each of these meetings, so try to be there if you are still without your shirts!

Is PHP just for script-slinging marketdroids? Do Python's whitespace rules really suck as much as you'd think? Is Ruby more than Rails? And what's up with Perl 6 anyway? Chris promises to make this a no-BS, no-bashing, honest look at the strengths and weaknesses of each of these languages. Come with an open mind and we'll explore the limitless frontiers of awesome programming. Chris will be presenting both in the city and the suburbs this month: * in Wheaton at IIT Rice campus on Feb 13, 2007 http://rakudo.org/chicago-pm/index.cgi? 2007_02_13_dynamic_language_hootenanny * in the city at Performics on Feb 27, 2007 http://rakudo.org/chicago-pm/index.cgi? 2007_02_27_dynamic_language_hootenanny Come on out and learn some new tricks! -- Andy Lester => andy at petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance From andy at petdance.com Wed Jan 31 12:25:33 2007 From: andy at petdance.com (Andy Lester) Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 14:25:33 -0600 Subject: [Chicago-announce] Dynamic Language Hootenanny: NEW DATE Message-ID: <7AAD8E7C-B502-49CC-A764-9DD1A72ADBFB@petdance.com> We've moved the date of the city meeting back a week to February 20th.
