Trying to be professional Mongers bringing you the best in Perl shaped
edutainment! :)
Remember, presenters get free dinner afterwards.  At a real restaurant and
everything.  Honest.

So Mon Apr 12:

If you have Perl questions, we have Perl answers!

*Featured Presentation: *Ready to Get Sauced on automated Web testing?
Stephen Wylie will present a demo on Sauce Labs, a cloud-based tool to help
you dominate your Web app's testing requirements throughout various browser
and OS combinations by utilizing cloud-based virtual environments deployed
on-demand.  Your tests can be written in a variety of languages compatible
with the  Selenium Web UI automation framework, including Node.js, Ruby,
Java, and of course Perl!  Sauce Labs can easily access any public Website,
and you can use Sauce Connect to easily define a tunnel through your
corporate proxy.  Before you set up that expensive ESXi cluster, come check
out how easy it is to write cross-platform automation for Sauce Labs!

Stephen Wylie has worked for nearly 6 years in the QA field, starting with
CLI testing for firmware interfaces and moving into Web UI testing.
Outside work, he is an avid developer, having won or placed in numerous
hackathons, and launched a hardware project on Kickstarter in 2013 that got
over 1,000% funded.  Stephen chairs the Civic Hacking Committee at Dallas
Makerspace, enjoys oldies music and vintage game shows, and collects fine
men's clothing. http <http://goshtastic.blogspot.com/>://

Code "Golfing" is writing a solution in as few characters as possible, not
to be confused with being production ready!

*Featured Presentation: *Miscellaneous Debris!
Frew Schmidt (fREW)'s ode to 1.21 Gigawatts
<https://youtu.be/Sp102BECq8s?t=31m40s>.  So.. Lightning Talks are 5mins or
less, laser focused one topic.  This is a collection of short talks that
cover a number of topics including Docker, Tools (vim, zsh, etc), DBIC,
DBIC helpers, and Async / Dogma.  fREW updates the talk when new experience
happens, has done it in at least 3 states so far, but the last time he did
the talk it took about 1.5 hours, got plenty of laughs, and was a good time
for all.  He has extensive software industry experience and we are glad he
is available and willing to share!

fREW is a programmer by day, sleeper by night.  He has spawned
offspring at least once as far as we know and flosses once daily.
You may know him from his excellent cpan module:
Plack::Middleware::Acme::PHPE9568F34::D428::11d2::A769::00AA001ACF42

He eagerly watches all of you through his animated portrait on
metacpan.org: https://metacpan.org/author/FREW (<-list of Perl Community
code contributions too!!)
