Hello all,
It's time to invite everyone to the UNO CSCI 2850 (Perl) class's
semester-ending lightning talks.
The talks this semester will be on Tuesday, April 24th, 2007, starting
at 5:45 PM and lasting most likely until around 8:00 PM. There weren't
enough talks to split them into two meaningful evenings, so we're going to
have a super-long night of talks.
If all goes well, there will be pizza available on a first-come,
first-served basis. I'm not sure how much pizza we can get, so maybe it'll
just be enough for three or four people. :)
I've attached the flier for this semester's talk topics. I've only
received brief overviews of most of the topics, so I can't give you much
insight into what a topic like "web scraping tools" will cover. You'll just
have to come and find out, I guess. :)
This semester's talks are in room 359 at the Peter Kiewit Institute at
67th & Pacific. Here's a link to Google Maps for the Peter Kiewit

On an unrelated note, awhile back I mentioned to the list that UNO was
in the process of standardizing on one language for a sequence of
internet-related programming courses. The final verdict is in and starting
in the fall, there will be a one-two punch of Perl courses, CIST 1300
(intro) and CSCI 2850 (not intro). Additionally, a bioinformatics
programming course that has yet to be developed will build off of the Perl
programming foundation found in 1300/2850. Thanks to everyone who provided
input when I queried the list a few months ago.
