Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] April Meeting: Wed Apr 13th @ 7 PM
Message-ID: <BANLkTi=2RR1fqdrE1gwyyzqjHWHk449Fcw@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Mongers,
     We have our next meeting coming up next week, on Wednesday 4/13 at 7 PM.

Pizza will be provided!  We have soda (vending machine: only 25 cents
;) and water to drink.

Here is our featured talk for the meeting:

Eugene Yusim - MongoDB: The Silver Bullet!
    A detailed introduction to MongoDB with overview and demo of major
    features like indexing, querying, replication and sharding. Use
    cases where MongoDB fits and where it doesn't.

Eugene is an Engineering Team Lead for Commission Junction.

(MongoDB [0] is a document-oriented database engine...it is
interesting to consider databases like this that are a little more
object and relational-friendly to drive your web application.  Randal
Schwartz has compared these types of databases in a presentation that
I've seen. [1])

Directions are included below.

To get there:

Take the 101 Freeway to the Lindero Canyon Road exit and head north.
Pass the Memorial Park on your right and turn right at the 2nd light
for Russell Ranch Road (you will see a Chiptole at that corner).  Pass
the Costco to your right, and then take the first right into the
parking lot (there is a little yellow parcel box that you can use in
spotting the driveway that you need to turn into).  Turn left toward
the glass doors in the far corner.  Here is a map:

Someone will be waiting to let you in downstairs, at the glass doors.

Just had to un-RSVP for tomorrow night due to a scheduling mistake -- sorry.

Anyway, I recently started using the Coro module for a small project.  It's a framework for implementing coroutines, asynchronous "threads", semaphores, queues, and other trappings of multiprocessing in Perl.  Used properly, it has the potential to greatly simplify event-driven code and offer up some paradigms that aren't really (or at least not portably) available in Perl through other means.  I'd be happy to demonstrate it at a future meeting, unless someone knows more about it than I do.

That sounds really interesting, and  I would love to see a talk on this
subject.

Yeah, Coro is interesting.  Perhaps a presentation contrasting that with
traditional threads, and other solutions like Event or IO::Lamda.

Hi

I will be going to Tonight's meeting along with Gabor Szabo from
Israel.pm and the Perl Ecosystem Group.

I am bringing some Modern Perl books in case someone wants to buy one
($25) before I ship back the rest of them to chromatic.

Thanks,

Juan

Ah, bummer, but thanks for keeping us in the loop. :)

This sounds great!  We'll plan on having you present at our next
meeting: Wednesday, 5/11/2011.  We'll talk more as the date
approaches.
