"Iteration 0" is a small group meeting intent on helping developers understand the necessary steps in bootstrapping a project. While the Dojo is focused on the academic, theoretical aspect of programming, the Iteration 0 efforts will focus on the pragmatic task of establishing application servers, build environments, source control, etc.. necessary in getting a project started. During this first meeting we'll be creating an ASP.Net application and will be configuring Subversion, NAnt, Selenium, NUnit, SQL Server and C# Visual Studio. For more details on this meeting go to http://pghcodingdojo.org/index.php/Iteration_0 The meetings are free and open to anyone. These meetings aren't structured as training, but are group learning excercises where everyone can learn and teach. Junior developers and senior developers alike are welcome, giving those that already know the technologies an opportunity to practice coaching and mentoring. For more information on Western Pennsylvania Linux User Group go to http://wplug.org For directions go to http://wplug.org/meetings/one-location?location_id=14 I'll be providing a build/test server, but everyone in the group will be participating and should bring their own computers so they can actively participate in the project. Looking forward to seeing all of you. Checkout http://pghcodingdojo.org for more information.

It seems like a missing link for XUL apps, and I've considered crossbreeding one of the pure perl httpds with IPC::Run and using the "local webserver + browser" approach to writing an app that does this, but that's icky-but-pragmatic. I'm sort of thinking of something like the old Mozilla XMLShell (Note: this is not the newer Perl xml editing shell), except without the burden posed by XML. - Barrie From angrygreg at gmail.com Tue Jan 30 12:30:04 2007 From: angrygreg at gmail.com (Greg Akins) Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 15:30:04 -0500 Subject: [pgh-pm] First Pittsburgh Ruby User Group meeting - TONIGHT! Message-ID: <8526685f0701301230x33875e28r67a116e757268cf9@mail.gmail.com> We've got the 2nd Floor Training Room reserved at the Pittsburgh Technology Council, 2000 Technology Drive, PGH for our first technically-oriented Ruby User Group meeting! (The council building is near the foot of Bates (that's the Oakland Parkway exit) by the Mon river, along the road that Cellomics and Union Switch and Signal are on. See it at http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=2000+Technology+Drive,+pittsb... =16&ll=40.434209,-79.96871&spn=0.012233,0.026994&iwloc=addr) The preliminary agenda/format is: 6:00 - 6:45 - Hands-on Ruby 101 (This will be along the lines of an Installfest plus basic Q&A, we want to get everyone up and running with Ruby and Rails at this first meeting.) 6:45 - 7:00 - Refreshments and Networking 7:00 - 8:00 - Ruby Tech (topic TBA) Agenda times may shift depending on the needs of the group, but bring your laptops, and yes, they have wireless. Post your suggestions for topics, as well as your questions and/or Ruby challenges to discuss. We'll use those to help plan future meetings. *Please* let us know if you can attend so we can get an estimated head count. Stay tuned, more to come! -- ============== Greg Akins http://www.pghcodingdojo.org http://www.insomnia-consulting.org/monologue From m.nooning at comcast.net Tue Jan 30 14:02:39 2007 From: m.nooning at comcast.net (Malcolm Nooning) Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 17:02:39 -0500 Subject: [pgh-pm] Wanted in browser ssh client.

Without knowing more about your needs I can only throw something out there and see if it meets any. I have seen your name come up in conjunction with PAR emails. The code snippets I am pasting originate from PAR-Packer-0.970\contrib\automated_pp_test\pipe_a_command.pm. If this is not the sort of thing you are looking for you will of course just ignore this. If it looks like something you can use, well, I am the author of all of the code in the automated_pp_test directory so if you have any questions feel free to email me. ################################################################# # Open up a log file to hold the data.
