From Peter at PSDT.com Tue Oct 5 11:57:59 2004 From: Peter at PSDT.com (Peter Scott) Date: Tue Oct 5 11:58:17 2004 Subject: [VPM] October meeting Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20041005095714.02b25c48@shell2.webquarry.com> Folks, just a note to say that someone else will need to organize and announce the October meeting, I'm up to my eyeballs in moving for the next few weeks. Have fun. -- Peter Scott Pacific Systems Design Technologies http://www.perldebugged.com/ *** New! *** http://www.perlmedic.com/ From abez at abez.ca Wed Oct 6 11:56:13 2004 From: abez at abez.ca (abez) Date: Wed Oct 6 11:56:51 2004 Subject: [VPM] Meeting Announcement Message-ID: Perlmongers Victoria Tuesay Oct 19 7:00 pm in CIT120 (Harry Hickman Building). At the next Perlmongers Victoria, Alan Ezust will give a talk about Python. Python, a relatively new cross-platform free object-oriented scripting language, has managed to gain a remarkable acceptance among the open-source community, as demonstrated by applications such as Google and Zope. It has drawn its influences from many languages, cherry-picking the best features of them all, and providing a very clean programming language on top. C++, Lisp, Java and Smalltalk programmers will all recognize features they know and love, but perl programmers will immediately notice some inspirations from from there too. As far as I know, it has everybody's favorite feature, and at the same time, encourages very good programming habits. In this talk, we will dissect a few code examples based on some Gang of Four (Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides) design patterns combined with recipes from the Python Cookbook. You will learn some advanced (and recent) features of the python language. S.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I have now updated the Victoria.pm website with the new announcement. What it says, exactly, is displayed below. I suggest altering any future email announcements to include my first line, about the connection to Parrot. -- Darren Duncan -------------------- October 19, 2004 Meeting Alan Ezust will give a talk about Python, Perl's twin pillar in the Parrot project.
