[LA.pm] November Meeting of LA.pm, Nov 17 at MediaTemple

[Andrew Grangaard]

Hi Mongers!

This month Media Temple has stepped up to host and provide a speaker,
Josh Barratt.  You've voted for Josh to speak on AnyEvent[0]. I'm looking
forward to it, I hope you are too.  See you in two weeks!

Specific directions will be added to the la.pm.org website[1].

Big thanks for Oversee for hosting last month and to Merlyn for taking
care of all of the arrangements.  I saw a lot of new, downtown faces
at the meeting and enjoyed the post-meeting social hour at a local bar.
Does anyone have a recap/write-up of the 3 presentations?

      2. Josh Barratt: AnyEvent -- Perl Asynchronous Programming [0]
         Abstract:
         Event driven programming has been a powerful paradigm for years,
         but it's emerging as an increasingly important way to work. Making
         events easy is part of what has made node.js so exciting, and is
         possible in Python with Eventlet and Ruby with EventMachine. Perl's
         answer to this is very mature and flexible: AnyEvent [0]. As well as an
         introduction to the module, how to use it, and some of the other
         modules in the "family", we'll cover some before/after examples of
         synchronous code made asynchronous.

      About our speakers:

     Josh Barratt is awesome and an engaging presenter.

      About your host:

       * Andrew Grangaard is a Senior Software Engineer and long time Perl
         Monk(ey).

     See you at 7 on Wednesday the 17th!

--Andrew
