The July KW Perl Mongers talk is next Thursday, the 21st (the usual date).
The main topic will be Node, a flexible event-driven I/O framework for
server-side Javascript. http://nodejs.org/

The presenter, Casey Banner, http://caseybanner.ca/ designed a
class-scheduling site for Waterloo students. In the process he
wrote a few libraries, such as to connect to mongo, a schema-less
database similar to couchdb. He also worked with a pile of javascript
libraries, also described at the above URL.

Thanks everyone for bearing with me as I tried to find the optimal day for
the talks. I hope all interested people can make the usual date.
And hopefully we can get Matt up from Toronto in a future month for his
talk on Node, since scheduling prevents them both presenting on the same
night.
