Now Johnson, the founder and editor of one of the Web's earliest magazines, FEED, has written "Emergence," which takes up the theme of bottom-up organization of complex systems. David Sims and Rael Dornfest talked to Johnson about emergent theory and its relationship with the Web. Read the interview: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2002/02/22/johnson.html THE O'REILLY COMMUNITY PRESS PUBLISHES ESSENTIAL GRASSROOTS DOCUMENTATION Since the advent of computers, do-it-yourself documentation has been a foundation of grassroots technology development. FreeBSD, Linux, Perl, Apache, MySQL, and other core Internet technologies have flourished with the help of documentation created by dedicated members of their technical communities. The O'Reilly Community Press, a new series from technical publisher O'Reilly & Associates, publishes essential community-generated documentation. Thanks to that classic user interface, the book, hackers can now access the wisdom of their community on the bus, at the beach, or in the bathroom.

Topics will include bioinformatics, community wireless, web services, and the evolution of what he's calling "the internet operating system." Wednesday March 13--6:30 PM JESSE LIBERTY ON ASP V. ASP.NET The principal difference between ASP.NET and ASP is that the new programming model is more object-oriented and more event-driven. This will be illustrated by extracting records from a database and filling a DataGrid in a web form, coloring some records based on their content, and responding to the ItemDataBound event. Along the way Jesse will also explain how to create code-behind pages for Web forms, how to retrieve data from a database and how to populate the DataGrid. Wednesday, March 20--6:30 PM ERIK RAY ON PERL AND XML Erik Ray is coauthor of the upcoming book "Perl & XML." More powerful than HTML yet less demanding than SGML, XML has proven itself to be flexible and resilient. XML is the perfect tool for formatting documents with even the smallest bit of complexity, from Web pages to legal contracts to books. However, XML has also proven itself to be web services like SOAP and XML-RPC. As the Perl programming language was tailor-made for manipulating text, few people have disputed the fact that Perl and XML are perfectly suited for one another. The only question has been what's the best way to do it. Wednesday, April 3--6:30-8:00 PM NOEL RAPPIN ON JYTHON Noel Rappin is coauthor of "Jython Essentials." Jython is an implementation of the Python programming language written in Java, allowing Python programs to integrate seamlessly with any Java code. The secret to Jython's popularity lies in the combination of Java's libraries and tools with Python's rapid development capabilities.

This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor, bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our own site. * Perl at large. As reported last week, Perl is progressing steadily towards Perl 5.8.0. Jarkko's released Perl 5.7.3, the last developer release before 5.8.0. Now's the time to pick it up, experiment with it and see if you can break it before the new stable release. http://www.cpan.org/src/perl-5.7.3.tar.gz http://archive.develooper.com/perl5-porters@perl.org/msg74215.html A warning for those using WWW::Search-style modules: Google has requested that WWW::Search::Google be removed from CPAN, as it was linked to some violations of their terms of service. Basically, most web search sites don't mind well-behaved scraper modules, but it's horribly easy to write a badly-behaved one. Be careful and be courteous out there. Here's the full story: http://use.perl.org/articles/02/03/01/1641208.shtml And finally, how about a Perl song? http://glasnost.itcarlow.ie/~barryp/perlsong.html * What's new on www.perl.com? Bryan Warnock brings us coverage of what's been going on with Perl 6 development for the past few weeks. We've seen information about the .NET CLR and what it means for Parrot people; how topicalizers work in Perl 6; and someone having a rant about the lack of Parrot Design Documents... oh, that was me... http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/p6pdigest/20020302.html Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam... No, it's not an introduction to Python for Perl programmers, (although I hope to bring you one of those soon) but a guide to escaping that ever-present nuisance of online life these days, junk email. SpamAssassin and Vipul's Razor are two tools that are extremely effective in the fight against spam, and they're both pure Perl.

An interview with Sam Williams, author of O'Reilly's new book "Free as in Freedom" by Bruce Stewart "Free as in Freedom" traces Richard Stallman's evolution from gifted, solitary child to teen outcast to revered and reviled crusader. As the leader of the free software movement, Stallman is one of the most influential and controversial personalities in hacker culture today. Through extensive interviews with Stallman, his family, and fellow hackers, author Sam Williams has created an intimate portrait of this freedom fighter. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2002/02/28/williams.html For more information on "Free as in Freedom" see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/freedom/ LOCAL RULES: OF ANTS AND IP ROUTING by Ravi Malhotra, author of "IP Routing" Watching a line of ants work its way along his roof deck, Ravi Malhotra noticed the ants were quick to find the shortest route between two points or around a sudden obstacle.

This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor, bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our own site. * Perl at large. After many months of betas, MacPerl 5.6.1 has been released! In what maintainer Chris Nandor proudly calls "the most advanced release of Perl ever", we now have much better POSIX support in the form of a rewritten GUSI library, a brand new version of Shuck, a whole bunch of modules bringing it up to date not just with 5.6.1 but also on track with 5.8.x, and a slew of new and improved Mac-specific modules. Remember that this is the Classic Mac Perl; OS X users should use Unix Perl as normal. http://dev.macperl.org/docs/macperldelta.html http://www.macperl.org/ Didn't get back issues of the Perl Journal? Not to worry! O'Reilly is publishing the best articles from the Perl Journal in a series called, unsurprisingly, Best Of The Perl Journal. The first edition is due out in May, and focuses on Computer Science & Perl Programming: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/tpj1/ And speaking of Perl magazines, there's a new issue of the Perl Review out; this one features articles from Sharon Hopkins on Perl poetry, Jeff Bay's Perl one-liners tutorial, some notes from Dan Sugalski on Parrot, and other articles. http://www.theperlreview.com/ * What's new on www.perl.com? Once again, Bryan Warnock brings us coverage of the Perl 6 and Parrot effort. This week, wrangling over what printf should be like; an assembler design document; a question on multi-method despatch; and the road to Parrot 0.0.4 http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/p6pdigest/20020309.html AxKit is an example of really pushing the Perl envelope; it's a mod_perl application for dynamic transformation of XML inside the web server. I've seen it used very effectively to serve up web sites with the content completely written in XML, to style the output, choose between HTML, PDF and other output formats, to degrade depending on browser, and so on. Barrie Slaymaker begins a series of articles on how to get the best of AxKit by explaining how to go about setting it up and serving up some simple XML files. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/12/axkit.html Enjoy!

This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor, bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our own site. * Perl at large. Late last night, I put together the finishing touches to Parrot 0.0.4 and released that to the world. My final Parrot release includes a new JIT compiler, arena-based memory allocation, copying garbage collection, an IO subsystem, a regular expression engine, and much more besides. I say "my final", because now the baton hands over to Jeff Goff. Good luck, Jeff, and I hope everyone enjoys the new release: http://archive.develooper.com/perl6-internals@perl.org/msg09054.html http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SI/SIMON/parrot-0.0.4.tar.gz Speaking of releases, there's a new release of AxKit, the dynamic XML transformation engine we previewed last week. This is mainly a bugfix release, but adds a number of examples. http://www.axkit.org/ http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=02/03/20/0326205&mode=nocomment&tid=5 And finally, what happens if you mix Perl and St. Patrick's Day? http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5908 * What's new on www.perl.com? I'm sure you've all heard of Microsoft's .NET project; there's been a lot of hype around it, but what is it, and what does it mean to you and me? This week, I investigate Microsoft's .NET Framework from a Perl perspective -- how it compares with the Parrot interpreter, what Perl can learn from C#, and how Perl and .NET interact now and in the future. Even if you're a rabid Microsoft-hater, it's still worth taking a look at new technologies to see what we can learn from them: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/19/dotnet.html ============================================================= The O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference P2P, Web Services, Wireless, and Beyond . . .

I'm one of the last people to be using closed-source software by choice. But one of the traits of any self-respecting hacker is curiosity, and so when he hears about some cool new technology, he's almost obliged to check it out and see whether there's anything he can learn from it. So this particular Perl hacker took a look at Microsoft's .NET Framework, and, well, Mikey, I think he likes it." http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/19/dotnet.html --------------------- MAC --------------------- SECURE MAIL READING ON MAC OS X In this article Jason McIntosh describes a danger inherent in most mail-reading methods, and ways to work around it on OS X, using the Mail program.

The book also includes tutorials for the CLDC, KVM, MIDP and MIDlets, MIDlet user interfaces, networking and storage, and advice on programming small handhelds. Combined with O'Reilly's classic quick reference to all the core micro-edition APIs, this is the one book that will take you from curiosity to code with no frustrating frills in between. http://oreilly.com/catalog/j2meanut/ Chapter 3 "The Mobile Information Device Profile and MIDlets" http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/j2meanut/chapter/ch03.html TRANSACT-SQL COOKBOOK Order Number: 7567 This unique cookbook contains a wealth of solutions to problems that SQL programmers face all the time. The recipes inside range from how to perform simple tasks, like importing external data, to ways of handling issues that are more complicated, like set algebra. Authors Alex Spetic and Jonathan Gennick, two authorities with extensive database and SQL programming experience, include a discussion with each recipe to explain the logic and concepts underlying the solution. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/transqlcook/ Chapter 8 "Statistics in SQL" http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/transqlcook/chapter/ch08.html JAVA WEB SERVICES Order Number: 2696 This book gives the experienced Java developer a way into the Web Services world. It helps you to understand what's going on, what the technologies mean and how they relate, and shows Java developers how to put them to use to solve real problems. You'll learn what's real and what isn't; what the technologies are really supposed to do, and how they do it. "Java Web Services" shows you how to use SOAP to perform remote method calls and message passing; how to use WSDL to describe the interface to a web service or understand the interface of someone else's service; and how to use UDDI to advertise (publish) and look up services in each local or global registry. "Java Web Services" also discusses security issues, interoperability issues, integration with other Java enterprise technologies like EJB; the work being done on the JAXM and JAX-RPC packages, and integration with Microsoft's .NET services. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javawebserv/ Chapter 6 "UDDI: Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration" http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javawebserv/chapter/ch06.html ================================================ CONFERENCE NEWS ================================================ EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL 5, 2002 As a part of our extended family, take an additional 30% off of your fees when you register with the discount code ET02FF Early bird registration ends April 5, 2002!

This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor, bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our own site. * Perl at large. It's been a bit of a quiet week, as Easter fast approaches. Elaine Ashton, however, has been very busy. Some time ago, she approached Sun Microsystems asking if they'd like to donate some hardware to the CPAN search facility, search.cpan.org. They said yes, and so Elaine took some days out this week to make the long drive over to Sun's place in California to pick up the hardware and bring it to its home in St. Louis. As a result, you should notice that search.cpan is now quite definitely faster than ever. Thanks a million Elaine, and thanks also to the good folks at Sun, especially Andrew Roach, Tim Sparlin and Alan Burlison. http://search.cpan.org/ http://www.axis-of-aevil.net/archives/000089.html Perl 6 fans will be glad to know that Damian is currently putting the finishing touches on the latest Exegesis, which we hope to bring you next week. * What's new on www.perl.com? The other major Perl story this week has been the release of CPANPLUS, a replacement for the trusty CPAN.pm module for installing distributions from CPAN. CPANPLUS aims to be a modular, extensible, clean rewrite, which one day hopes to replace CPAN.pm in the Perl core. Here to tell us about it is the original creator and overseer of the project, Jos Boumans. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/26/cpanplus.html I'm heading away for an Easter break for the next week, but perl.com will not sleep! Depending on how Damian's getting on, we'll either be bringing you his Exegesis, or the next installment of our ongoing mod_perl series. Enjoy, and have a good holiday!
