From bluefeet at gmail.com Tue May 4 17:03:34 2010 From: bluefeet at gmail.com (Aran Deltac) Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 17:03:34 -0700 Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Perl Flagship Applications Message-ID: So, at the end of LA.pm this month one of our fellow mongers (I forget his name, sorry) was talking about how he wished there were more "flagship" Perl applications that could illustrate the power of perl to a more general audience. PHP has Drupal, Wordpress, Mediawiki, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Java has Hadoop, Cassandra, etc, etc, etc. These flagship applications provide the underlying language an automatic approval to the users of those applications. People who do not code in PHP or Java know of these applications and what language they were written in because these application proudly state what language(s) they are using. This means that managers, etc, are exposed to these languages as providing high quality and highly complex software. So, what I'm wondering is, what does perl have? I know of one off the top of my head: TWiki (http://twiki.org/) I'm sure there are more. Melody (the really open source version of Movable Type) will fall in this list once its released, I'm hoping. And, if the person who brought this point up in the first place at LA.pm could speak up and maybe talk about what you were thinking that would be great.

Some sites that run on this system include: http://www.backcountry.com http://www.citypass.com http://www.frozencpu.com http://www.flor.com Interchange includes a demo store, however the power of the system is really in the ability to do whatever you need to do in Perl and leverage CPAN. Interchange doesn't get a whole lot in the way of press, but there are many sites doing large amounts of orders on this platform. -- Ron Phipps End Point Corporation ron at endpoint.com From alex at acatysmoof.com Fri May 7 23:18:03 2010 From: alex at acatysmoof.com (Alex Teslik) Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 23:18:03 -0700 Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] CCTLDs Message-ID: <20100508060533.M21891@acatysmoof.com> "Net regulator ICANN has switched on a system that allows full web addresses that contain no Latin characters": http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10100108.stm I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on how this will impact Perl development.

The way that unicode is discussed in the Camel book suggests that the community might be alright with this sort of thing. It seems to me that this will lead to a "Tower of Babel" situation. Heck, there are already too many programming languages. =P -Tommy On Fri, May 7, 2010 at 11:18 PM, Alex Teslik wrote: > "Net regulator ICANN has switched on a system that allows full web addresses > that contain no Latin characters": > > http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10100108.stm > > I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on how this will impact Perl > development. > > Thanks, > Alex > _______________________________________________ > Losangeles-pm mailing list > Losangeles-pm at pm.org > http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/losangeles-pm > From tommystanton at gmail.com Sat May 8 23:59:29 2010 From: tommystanton at gmail.com (Tommy Stanton) Date: Sat, 8 May 2010 23:59:29 -0700 Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Code and slides from my "Sync Your ~ With Git" presentation Message-ID: Hi LA & TO Mongers, I wanted to send along a link to the presentation I gave a little while back at both LA.pm and TO.pm (tarball of everything, or slideshow quick view): http://tommystanton.com/presentations/20100430-Tommy_Stanton-Sync_Your_~_With_Git.tar.gz http://tommystanton.com/presentations/20100430-Tommy_Stanton-Sync_Your_~_With_Git/ I refactored my git-home-sync program in accordance with the "Rule of Representation" [1], utilizing the power of Perl's hash data structure and subroutine references.

Most of it I was aware of, but most people don't. Its good to get the word out like this. One line that caught my eye was "A recent search for Perl jobs on Dice.com turned up 4,126 matches against PHP's 2,127. Python matched only 1,742, and .Net only 1,025. Searching LinkedIn turns up 403 results, Python 352, and .Net 439 results. Is this an authoritative metric? No, but it does demonstrate that Perl still commands attention in the job market." That's pretty cool. I'm curious have Java fits in to those numbers.
