Anyway, one of the tangential discussions has been where in North America to have yapc next year, or whether there's enough interest for two on one continent. Montreal and Washington DC keep getting mentioned, but we don't know if anyone's actually talking to venues yet in those cities. So others are encouraged to think about possible hosts for next year. When I read the draft list of requirements http://relish.concordia.ca/rich/yapc/venue-reqs.txt My first thought was that UNF has everything on the list except good public transportation, especially to and from the airport.

One of the ideas mentioned briefly was to try to do one in winter, for which the south would be ideal. That is, provided we can find someplace that makes all the students move out of the dorms over the break, since we'd need to be able to provide cheap lodging. > Maybe we could get it co-hosted by the various Florida PM groups? > > ... how about creating a southern-ish (not Southern > charm, however) conference targeting the Jacksonville, Alatanta, or Orlando > areas (all three have major airports for people arriving from all over.) More so Atlanta and Orlando than Jax. I only suggested Jax 'cos this is the only PM in Florida I'm a member of, and I know UNF has the conference facilities (though I don't know what their dorm policies are anymore). A jointly-hosted conference is a good idea in Florida, since there are several major cities relatively close together and probably not enough Perl density in any one of them to really be considered a focal point. Orlando is likely the best choice for air travel, ground transportation once people get there, and being as close to "central" as possible within Florida. If there's anyone on this list who's also in Orlando.PM, I'll leave it up to you to think about passing the idea on to the rest of that group. I don't want to volunteer someone else to host, and I'm certainly in no official position to even ask whether they'd like to. I'm simply opening up the discussion that if we want one in Florida, it's going to take someone in Florida to volunteer to host. j Jax.PM Moderator's Note: This message was posted to the Jacksonville Perl Monger's Group listserv.

Raymond. "The Cathedral & the Bazaar" was awarded the Computer Press Association's Best Nonfiction Computer Book, and "PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide, 2nd Edition" won in the Best Advanced How-To Book category. With an overwhelming vote, O'Reilly's Java books also claimed the top four spots on the 2000 Java Developers Journal Readers' Choice Awards: "Java in a Nutshell" by David Flanagan (Winner: Best Book) "Java Servlet Programming" by Jason Hunter (1st runner up, Best Book) "Enterprise JavaBeans" by Richard Monson-Haefel (2nd runner up, Best Book) "Java 2D Graphics" by Jonathan Knudsen (3rd Runner up, Best Book) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What the judges of the CPA 2000 Awards said about "PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide, 2nd Edition": "This book earns the title 'ultimate guide' by its comprehensive approach to the total Palm environment--on its own, communicating with a Mac or Windows computer, or online. The extensive information is well organized and based on things you would want to do with your Palm, rather than on features of the instrument. Graphics, subheads, and sidebars also help organize the text, and the conversational style gives it the feel of a tutorial from a knowledgeable friend." What the judges of the CPA 2000 Awards said about "The Cathedral & the Bazaar": "This book is itself an example of the innovative ideas it discusses. The printed edition is perhaps only a convenient-to-read version of the text, which is constantly being revised online. The author is in constant dialogue with other members of the open source community and revises his work based on new developments and insights from others. A fascinating read that provides a philosophical analysis of the hacker world and the open source movement, and shows how profoundly they affect the world at-large. Written from an expert technical viewpoint without excluding the intelligent reader whose technical roots aren't as deep."

Based on the best-selling "CGI Programming on the World Wide Web", this edition has been completely rewritten to demonstrate current techniques available with the CGI.pm module and the latest versions of Perl. The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is one of the most powerful methods of providing dynamic content on the Web. CGI is a generic interface for calling external programs to crunch numbers, query databases, generate customized graphics, or perform any other server-side task. Since the release of the popular first edition of "CGI Programming with Perl", CGI has changed a great deal. "Just a handful of years ago, CGI scripts were more of a novelty than practical; they were associated with hit counters and guest books, and were written largely by hobbyists," says Scott Guelich. "Today, CGI scripts, written by professional web developers, provide the logic to power much of the vast structure that the Internet has become." "When I look back at how many improvements have been made in Perl, web technologies, and all the modules people have written, as well as the global infrastructure improvements to the Web, I am astounded by what has been accomplished by the open source community," agrees co-author Gunther Birznieks. New topics covered in the second edition of "CGI Programming with Perl" include incorporating JavaScript for form validation, controlling browser caching, making CGI scripts secure in Perl, working with databases, creating simple search engines, maintaining state between multiple sessions, generating graphics dynamically, and improving performance of CGI scripts.

Perl is quick to program, easy to adapt, and relentlessly practical. Although Perl has become a diverse tool for countless tasks, such as CGI Programming and database programming, it remains the language of choice of system administrators everywhere. For those sys admins, O'Reilly has just released a new book, "Perl for System Administration." "System administration is often a glue job; Perl is one of the best glue languages. Perl was being used for system administration well before the World Wide Web came along with its voracious need for glue mechanisms," says author David N. Blank-Edelman. "Good system administration is hardly ever wrote," explains Blank-Edelman, "especially in multi-platforms where the challenges come fast and furious. Like any other craft, there are better and worse ways to meet those challenges. I wrote this book for the people who face those challenges. Perl can help." Assuming only a little familiarity with Perl, "Perl for System Administration" is aimed at all levels of administrators, from single-box Linux users to card-carrying SAGE members. While covering several different platforms (Unix, Windows NT, and MacOS), it also delves deeper to explore the pockets of administration where Perl can be most useful--including filesystem management, user administration, directory services, database administration, log files, and security and network monitoring. "Perl for System Administration" is for anyone who uses Perl for administrative tasks and needs to hit the ground running. Chapter 9, Log Files, is available free online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlsysadm/chapter/ch09.html For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bio, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlsysadm/ For a cover graphic in jpeg format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/1565926099.jpg For an article by David N.
