From dfwpm at internetalias.net Tue May 7 19:01:02 2013 From: dfwpm at internetalias.net (Tommy Butler) Date: Tue, 07 May 2013 21:01:02 -0500 Subject: [DFW.pm] Monthly meeting tomorrow night! Message-ID: <5189B1DE.5050100@internetalias.net> Mongers! Tomorrow night at 7 pm we hold our monthly meeting, and no one knows it better than my 8 year old boy who loves Perl Mongers more than ice cream. Tomorrow night nothing formal has been organized. Come as you normally would -- encouraged to bring a laptop and a friend because there's always code to hack on, but also please be aware that we may choose to relocate down the street to a pub or restaurant if the community consensus at the meeting is to head toward food. After all, food and drink do come right after Perl in the hacker's hierarchy of needs (sorry Maslow). *Location* 2995 Ladybird Lane, Dallas, TX www.dallasmakerspace.org (214)699-6537 -- Tommy Butler -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Plenty of room for bags, asking $10 gas money (or pay for a meal?). I'm driving my Chevy Volt on Sunday June 2nd, coming back Wed night. I live in Plano, and will swing by Arlington to pick up Tommy. We are staying in the dorms on campus, parking on campus very near the dorms. Always a fun time, will arrive in time for the anti-arrival dinner on Sunday. Email or text me at 469-688-7726 to call tailgunner! John Fields -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm asking the group for a show of hands, or emails, on what topics the group would like to cover in future meetings. Also, I'm asking for anyone who'd be willing to speak/present/rant about a given Perl topic to step forward and email me about it. So sound off about the ideas below and provide your own suggestions of topics you'd like to know more about and/or share. *Please* toss your ideas and opinions into the hat. We're going to have a lot more fun and a lot more attendance by covering the topics that we care most about. Lurkers, this means you too :-) Potential topics that have been tossed around include: * Crash course series on Perl for absolute beginners * Regular expressions * Winning with Perlbrew * Working with databases which could be a multi-part workshop o basic serialized datastructures o Berkeley DB o SQLite? o classic DBI o DBIx::Class * Perl on Windows * Distributing and managing distributions with Dist::Zilla * Automated Testing with Test::More and friends * Perl to JSON to jQuery and back * Moose and Moo * A full demonstration of the Catalyst MVC stack with complete working examples of a functional website including user accounts and logins o Authentication and Authorization o DBIC o Sessions o Nginx and Starman o HTML / HTML5 o AJAX with jQuery o CSS and JavaScript glue o Template::Toolkit * Perl for system administration and automation * Network programming * IPC (interprocess communication) * Threading and Forking --Tommy Butler -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
