Message-ID: <5366E521.3080905@vmbrasseur.com> This upcoming Tuesday we'll be gathering at Tagged for Lightning Talks! It's going to be a great evening. Here's what we already have on tap: * Ready, set, Go! * Semantic Versioning * Python versus Perl: some gotchas * Token-Based Authentication with AgularJS * Big Mistakes in Educational Technology * Coding Calisthenics With Exercism.io * Everything I Know About Startups, I Learned From World of Warcraft * Breaking Habits * Welcoming new contributors: What I've learned as a Debian Developer * Improving reproducibility and record-keeping with Log::Reproducible * Perl Selenium As you can see, talk subjects rather run the gamut. A few more talks would not go amiss in the schedule. Have you been thinking about presenting but not yet thrown your hat into the ring? This is the time, since I'll be writing up the schedule tomorrow. First-time speakers are keen! This is a great way to get started with conference speaking. Don't wish to speak? That's OK! Come join us in the beautiful Tagged office and absorb many different flavors of wisdom that evening.

Message-ID: <537D0D03.2060708@vmbrasseur.com> "I've Got 99 Problems But CPAN Ain't One," presented by our own Jeff Thalhammer, the best dressed man in SF.pm. http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-Perl-Mongers/events/182892622/ From sfpm at vmbrasseur.com Tue May 27 09:51:17 2014 From: sfpm at vmbrasseur.com (VM Brasseur) Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 09:51:17 -0700 Subject: [sf-perl] New Perl dev team being formed in San Francisco Message-ID: <5384C285.809@vmbrasseur.com> This morning I received an email from a recruiter asking whether I knew of any Perlers who might want to join a new Perl-based dev team which is being formed out here in SF. As it's in our best interest to support Perl-using companies (as well as to keep our community well-employed!), I thought I'd boost the signal on her posting on jobs.perl.org: http://jobs.perl.org/job/18656 --V From sfpm at vmbrasseur.com Tue May 27 16:35:00 2014 From: sfpm at vmbrasseur.com (VM Brasseur) Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 16:35:00 -0700 Subject: [sf-perl] June 11th: Friedo presents "Real-World MongoDB Aggregation for Perl" Message-ID: <53852124.2070601@vmbrasseur.com> Mike Friedman (aka @friedo) is back from New York with another great talk for us: MongoDB's dynamic aggregation framework allows users to filter documents through arbitrary pipelines of powerful operators. It's like a Unix pipeline, but for structured big-data documents instead of text. This talk explains the aggregation framework and examines three real-world examples using real data sets and Perl.
