Message-ID: <20171218060124.5E7BBC06D@s8.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/334.html Hi there, This year the Perl Weekly is published on the 30th birthday of Perl. How do you celebrate? Use this opportunity to send a thank-you note to Larry Wall, to someone who have contributed to Perl throughout the years, to a CPAN author who maintains a module you use! Happy Birthday to all the readers! -- Your editor: Gabor Szabo. TPC - History - Perl is 30 TPC and The End of Language Dominance https://leejo.github.io/2017/12/17/tpc_and_the_end_of_language_dominance/ -------------- ============= Advent Calendars Perl Advent Calendar http://perladvent.org/2017/index.html A holiday tradition since 2000! -------------- Perl 6 Advent Calendar https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/ Every year since 2009--no fancy calendar, just great blog entries every year in the weeks leading up to Christmas. -------------- Mojolicious Advent Calendar https://mojolicious.io/blog/ Joel has started a new blog for Mojolicious, and is kicking it off in grand style, with an Advent calendar. -------------- Advent Planet 2017 http://www.lenjaffe.com/AdventPlanet/2017/ The collection of all the Advent calendars. -------------- ============= Sponsors Patreon and Perl http://blogs.perl.org/users/gabor_szabo/2017/12/patreon-and-perl.html Patreon allows you to support people with a small monthly payment. -------------- ============= Announcements (Update) Inline::F2003 - An ILSM for modern FORTRAN http://blogs.perl.org/users/ron_grunwald/2017/12/update-inlinef2003---an-ilsm-for-modern-fortran.html -------------- ============= Articles Many Sides of Moose!! http://blogs.perl.org/users/byterock/2017/12/many-sides-of-moose.html John goes on with his series on marrying Moose with Databases.

Based on the comments on the article and on Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/7jheqt/modulino_both_script_and_mo dule_in_perl/ ), not everybody liked, but I learned that the word was actually coined by brian d foy. I also got some ideas for more use-cases. -------------- ============= Books Regenerating Perl School https://perlhacks.com/2017/12/regenerating-perl-school/ Instead of class-room training sessions, this time Dave is working on cheap eBooks about various topics in Perl sold via Amazon. The first one is called Perl Taster: Your First Two Hours With Perl ( https://www.amazon.com/Perl-Taster-Your-First-Hours-ebook/dp/B077MB1LH1?t ag=szabgab-20 ). I'd say even if you don't need it, buy it as a way to encourage and support Dave. Even better, buy a copy as a present to a fellow Perl newbie. -------------- The Year of Perl 6 Books https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2017/12/12/ Listing all the Perl 6 related books -------------- Minimum Viable Perl http://mvp.kablamo.org/ Announced on his blog ( http://blog.kablamo.org/2017/12/08/mvp/ ) you can find a web based Perl tutorial.

The fastest growing economy in the world is currently Ethiopia, with a projected growth in GDP of over 8% this year. And although the record for fastest growing Perl team might not be recorded in the Guinness Book of records, our client is a strong contender. -------------- Be a trailblazer in a time of growth - Full Stack Architect required for a rapidly expanding London company https://perl.careers/jobs/be-a-trailblazer-in-a-time-of-growth---full-stack-architect-required-for-a-rapidly-expanding-london-company/?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly If you?re currently a senior full stack developer looking to take on your next role as an architect then this is a great opportunity to do so in a company that is both ambitious and supportive.
