We're looking for a smart, creative Perl programmer to join our website staff at a growing mutual fund company right at the beach in sunny Santa Monica, CA. We're mostly a Perl shop (particularly DBI, Mason, etc), some PHP thrown in, but in general it's about the right tool for the job. If you can convince the group that a project needs to be written using Ruby on Rails, we'll listen. Experience with XML, XSL:FO, even a little Javascript/AJAX would be cool but isn't required. Mutual funds sound stodgy, I know, but it's actually a very cool and fast growing company. The benefits are good, the pay is good, the people are cool, and the hours are pretty regular. If you're interested, please send us your resume to careers at dfafunds.com or feel free to email it to me directly at: philip.fibiger at dfafunds.com . If you think you might be interested, i'm happy to answer any and all questions as well at the above email address.

UUASC-OC Unix Users Association of Southern California Orange County Chapter November Meeting --------------------------------------------- Perl vs. Python --------------------------------------------- Monday, Nov. 14, 7-9 PM Sun Microsystems, Inc. 2020 S. Main St. in Irvine 12th Floor --------------------------------------------- Over the years, the UUASC mailing list has hosted numerous flame fests as to what is the best scripting language. We will now settle one such battle once and for all, as we will pit against each other two of UUASC's top programmers who will take off their gloves as each one tries to convince us that they represent the better language. At the November meeting of UUASC-OC, members Mark Nagel and Todd Jackson will become enemy combatants, with Mark representing Perl and Todd doing battle on behalf of Python. The pair will demonstrate some of the differences between the two languages by providing to us coding examples of programs written in each one. To allow our duelers the most time to prepare for the demonstrations, we are asking now for "requests" -- suggestions from our readers for potential coding assignments. Mark and Todd will choose a few of the requests and go to work on creating code using their respective languages. So, now is the time to kindly post your request. Ask them to write programs that determine which files, binary or ascii, on a system contain a certain keyword from a list of keywords. Ask them to write programs that download info from a web site every time a certain type of update occurs on that site. Or, ask them to program your TiVo so that it records shows in reverse. Hey, it can't hurt to ask! Mark is a Cisco CCIE with 20 years of network administration and programming experience. He is the principal consultant and co-founder at Willing Minds LLC, http://willingminds.com , a consultancy that focuses on infrastructure implementation and support. Mark has written in Perl since 1991, and even created a Perl program that monitors system files called Filewatcher which is available at SourceForge. Mark is preparing for the upcoming battle by working out and practicing martial arts three times per week. Todd is a systems engineer at 8e6 Technologies, a web-filtering company in Orange, with more than 25 years of IT experience and has worked in UNIX environments including AIX, Solaris, and most recently Linux. He has developed Perl scripts used for data reduction, analysis, simulation of network traffic, and various systems administration tasks. He is currently using Python for new development in those areas. Todd is preparing for the upcoming battle by watching TV while eating little chocolate doughnuts -- the breakfast of champions.

UUASC-OC wants to thank our host, Sun Microsystems, for the continued support of our meetings. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The UUASC is for all persons using Unix either personally or professionally, or interested in learning more about Unix. We recognize all varieties of Unix, including (without prejudice) HP/UX, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, and BSD. This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden your skills and knowledge. Generally, meetings include a technical presentation on a hardware or software topic of current interest to the Unix community and a round-table discussion of current topics of interest to the group. We are always looking for interesting presentations and your suggestions are most welcome. Please join us this month and bring along your friends or co-workers. Also, please forward this announcement to others who may be interested and feel free to post it to wherever you wish, both electronically and physically. If you receive more than one announcement by email, please let us know so we can keep our lists current.
