From gabor at szabgab.com Sun Oct 22 22:36:47 2017 From: gabor at szabgab.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2017 05:36:47 -0000 Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #326 - What is your your favorite programming language? Message-ID: <20171023053608.11131C48C@s8.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/326.html Hi there you might recall I write about Perl on the Perl Maven ( https://perlmaven.com/ ) site and about everything else on the Code Maven ( https://code-maven.com/ ) site. In order to serve you better I'd like to know what are the 3 most important languages to you? So I have a one-question survey ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdtnpHaKRIS9-uUcPOwAltq3eew6o2GPqV CdoXRtfHhRizWKQ/viewform ) asking just that. I'd be happy if you filled it out and as a thank-you note if you fill it out you'll get a coupon to buy my Git eBook at a very deep discount. Oh and there are plenty of good articles in this newsletter :) Enjoy your week! -- Your editor: Gabor Szabo. Articles vim, Ale, Syntastic and Perl::Critic http://www.olafalders.com/2017/10/17/vim-ale-syntastic-and-perlcritic/ Ale is faster than Syntastic, but Olaf also asks for help with some Perl::Critic integration. -------------- Application Metrics with Yertl http://blogs.perl.org/users/preaction/2017/10/application-metrics-with-yertl.html Time series databases are useful to collect monitoring data and create reports from them. They can count number of visits to a site or elapsed time serving a page. ETL::Yertl provides an SQL interface to interrogate the data in such time series. -------------- Don't use until, unless... http://blogs.perl.org/users/tom_ryder/2017/10/dont-use-until-unless.html I am not sure who reported it that students for whom English is not the mother tongue have harder time understanding and using 'until' and 'unless' than those who were born in an English-language country. -------------- Bitcoin XS Modules http://blogs.perl.org/users/joeld/2017/10/bitcoin-xs-modules.html This guide goes over setting up a simple HD Tree, drafting a P2SH transaction, and running an SPV client. - I guess this is only for people who already understand this vocabulary. -------------- Fixing Legacy Perl Functions With Decorators https://www.ynonperek.com/2017/10/19/perl-function-decorators/ Perl can have functions creating functions that can wrap other functions. Decorators is the name used in Python where it also has some syntactic sugar. In this article you'll see Memoization and logging for any function. -------------- ============= Testing Automated testing on Windows with AppVeyor http://blogs.perl.org/users/mauke/2017/10/automated-testing-on-windows-with-appveyor.html AppVeyor is cloud-based Continuous Integration service running on MS Windows. You can easily hook up your CPAN module or other Perl-based application to test it on Windows. A Lot less excuses for not supporting Windows. -------------- Cygwin interesting problems http://blogs.perl.org/users/ben_bullock/2017/10/cygwin-interesting-problems.html Cygwin is a special source of Yak Shaving with all kinds of questions one need to answer. I wonder, could AppVeyor be used to test CPAN modules on Cygwin? -------------- Lab::Measurement: New lightweight backends for VXI-11 and USB-TMC http://blogs.perl.org/users/simon_reinhardt/2017/10/labmeasurement-new-lightweight-backends-for-vxi-11-and-usb-tmc.html The Lab::Measurement ( http://www.labmeasurement.de/ ) project provides Open Source control of Test & Measurement devices with Perl. -------------- ============= Web Dancer2 0.205002 released; survey update http://blogs.perl.org/users/jason_a_crome/2017/10/dancer2-0205002-released-survey-update.html See the list of change in the article and follow this link to the Dancer Survey ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeFcLEcAYujouTHUJ9tHdL7FILmHEoNC WU-q_ngerAdkc2x_g/viewform ). -------------- Semantic Web/Linked Data http://blogs.perl.org/users/cyocum/2017/10/semantic-weblinked-data.html -------------- ============= CPAN Introducing the PAUSE Operating Model http://blogs.perl.org/users/neilb/2017/10/the-pause-operating-model.html You might recall there was some mud-sliding around the the ownership of the DBIx::Class namespace. In order to reduce possible future tensions, the PAUSE admins have created a document describing the rules of their operation. -------------- ============= Infrastructure Perl Infrastructure http://perlmaven.com/perl-infrastructure What kind of infrastructure is behind the Perl-related web sites?

Perhaps you studied Chemistry at university but then found yourself pulled towards software development instead when you entered the world of work? Or maybe you did a dissertation or early internship in bioinformatics and have always wanted to get back into the sciences? This interesting role sits at the junction of science and software development, and is a great opportunity for a Perl developer to rediscover his or her passion for the natural sciences. -------------- Do some good in the world ? Perl developers required for a charity and giving-focused team in Kent, UK https://perl.careers/jobs/do-some-good-in-the-world--per-developers-required-for-a-charity-and-giving-focused-team-in-kent-uk/?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly Want to do something good for once?

This client has a workspace I?m actively jealous of! -------------- ============= You joined the Perl Weekly to get weekly e-mails about the Perl programming language and related topics.
