If anyone has a talk they would like to do at the last minute, we can also do that! Otherwise it's social SPUG! I'll update the calendar. 5p to 9p at the Tap House Bar and Grill, drop in anytime. OK I'm going to be organized for the SPUG and actually plan ahead (zomgz!). I've provided the list of topics we discussed at a recent SPUG social below. If anyone would like to volunteer to give a talk on a topic in that list for next month, let me know. If I don't hear anything by March 30, then I will choose one of the lightning talk topics. For the lightning talks, we'll have a laptop available so it will just be a matter of coordinating slides or anything additional (like a thumbdrive with whatever you want to share on it). Here are the topics: - What's wrong with Perl 6 - Mojolicious, Mojolicious vs Dancer - Tools show and tell (Lightning talk) - Contest - Unit Testing - Perl Open Source Projects we are working on or find interesting (Lightning Talk) - Favorite Perl Modules (Lightning talk) - Least Favorite Perl Modules (lightning talk) - Plack From baronmog at gmail.com Thu Mar 29 18:30:48 2012 From: baronmog at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?Q?Noah_R=C3=B8mer?=) Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 18:30:48 -0700 Subject: SPUG: Bulk orders available for the new edition of Modern Perl Message-ID: http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2012/03/bulk-orders-for-user-groups.html I've got the epub version on my Nook, and it's a worthwhile update from the previous edition.

It spends a little time talking about Moose, but is generally more focussed on core language features and using them in a way that is sustainable and maintainable. I've found it useful, in the past, to give some insight into taking advantage of more recent versions of Perl (spent a great deal of time stuck in perl 5.8.x land, due to previous management unwillingness to take to the time to update). It's complementary to the Perl Best Practices book, as they have a similar spirit, but Modern Perl is more focussed on "how to take advantage of advances in the state of Perl." If you want to check it out in detail, the electronic versions are free (PDF and ePub, with Kindle and HTML formats on the way). http://www.onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html -- It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it. - Upton Sinclair From robindarby at mac.com Thu Mar 29 18:42:44 2012 From: robindarby at mac.com (Robin Darby) Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:42:44 -0600 Subject: SPUG: Bulk orders available for the new edition of Modern Perl In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <898E5895-3D89-4663-A036-3524404A7D55@mac.com> Does it cover moose & MooseX modules?
