To do that I need talks or requests for talks. Please send me what talks you would like to see or give. Remember that there will be a Pittsburgh Perl Workshop 08. If you plan to give a talk at the workshop and want some practice the Monger meetings are a great forum for that. The next meeting is Dec 13 at 7:00. Details coming soon.

You Web 2.0? You Ajax? Of course you are. "Give it a REST," you're thinking to yourself right now. Now you've got a dilemma. Of course you're already writing functional tests against the web interface - which degrades nicely because you love humans - but you can't test the Ajax bits. You need a web browser for that, and that means you need a human. Crap! Not anymore! I'm going to show you how to use Selenium to interact with a rich internet application. You can write tests this way and you can do other things. I'll show you testing briefly, but once you can control the browser - and with the help of Perl and CPAN - you can do quite a few other things as well. In particular, I'm going to show you how I build the Socialtext CSS Kit, a static, downloadable rapid design tool which lets you redesign a Socialtext Wiki without access to the server back-end and without having to run any of the code. You can skin static views, but thanks to browser control I can render a view of the wiki at almost any stage such as when an editor is invoked, when a drop down list has been activated, etc. I'll also run through all the Perl code to massage the HTML, download all the referenced assets, and many other fun tricks. If we have time we'll even design a new, attractive interface to Socialtext. We might as well end with some eye candy and go for drinks feeling like a Web 2.0 Rock Str. * This months Social Gathering 8:00 pm * This months social we will meet up with the the Pittsburgh Coding Dojo, http://pghcodingdojo.org/index.php/Main_Page.
