Perlmongers Victoria
Tuesday Oct 19
7:00 pm in CIT120 (Harry Hickman Building).

At the next Perlmongers Victoria Meeting, 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.
