Message-ID: <201502162112.t1GLCGO5011720@mailhub128.itcs.purdue.edu> Greetings! This is an automated message to announce that Purdue Perl Mongers will meet tomorrow (Tuesday, February 17) at 11:30am in WSLR 116. Generally, we discuss computing, dynamic languages, Purdue and the overlap of those three (plus whatever else comes up) until Noon, then have one or somewhat more formal presentations. We don't always discuss Perl -- we have had presentations on Python, Javascript, HTML5, Selenium, Go, and many other topics -- so if you are not an experienced Perl user, there's still a place for you. Check our Twitter feed (@PurduePM), our Google+ Community (https://plus.google.com/communities/100780979348959606696) or our web page (http://pm.purdue.org/) for more information.
