   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   Chicago Perl Mongers Meeting Announcement
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Topic: Perl Unit and Functional Testing
   Presenter: Kent Cowgill
   Date/Time: Tuesday, September 25th, 2007, 7:00 PM
    Location: Performics, 12th Floor, 180 N. LaSalle, Chicago, IL
        RSVP: By noon on Sept. 25th to "pkrawczyk" with "doubleclick.com"
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kent will be talking about getting started with unit and functional testing
using everyone's favorite language, Perl.

Additionally, he will talk about code quality, test coverage, and making
things a lot easier on the person doing the testing using a Makefile.

Finally, Kent will talk about how he used Test::Builder::Module to create
a custom test module in order to be able to unit test the code in use at
his job, which is a template framework that combines Perl code with HTML,
making traditional unit testing rather difficult.


Kent Cowgill has been a Perl programmer and system administrator for over a
dozen years.  Recently, he's written a large test suite for a legacy system,
using reverse engineering, namespace manipulation and several Perl modules
(such as Test::MockObject, Devel::Cover and HTML::Lint).


As with all Chicago Perl Mongers meetings, everyone is welcome,
whether or not you consider yourself a member. We look forward to
seeing you there!

Questions about this meeting?  Ask on the chicago-talk at pm.org mailing
list, or send email to andy at petdance dot com.  You can also see a list
of past and upcoming meetings at http://chicago.pm.org/meetings/.

day after and an Intro to Perl class taught by brian d foy on the day
before, which will be announced on our website once we have more details.
Our site is at http://www.frozen-perl.org/

We've also opened our call for speakers, and we'd love to have your
submissions. You can view the CFS at

BarCamp Milwaukee 2, Saturday, October 13 through Sunday, October 14, 2007

   http://barcampmilwaukee.com/

Last year's event was great fun and we think this year will be even better.
We would love to have you come and spend time with us if you're available!


Where is it?
----------
BarCamp is happening at the Schlitz Park Center, 1555 Rivercenter Drive in
downtown Milwaukee, on the river's edge. I was in the meeting space the
other day and the whole Schlitz Park and 3rd Street areas are getting
revitalized. There's a great energy down there.

Here's a map to where BarCamp will take place:

   http://tinyurl.com/37udgp


What is BarCamp all about?
------------------------
It's a space and a place where people interested in learning and sharing can
hang out, and learn with others who want to learn and share.

BarCamp is a free event but there are also no passive attendees -- we
encourage everyone to share something with the group -- whether expertise,
knowledge, passion about a topic or simply helping out during the event.

   http://barcampmilwaukee.com/getting-started


How Much is it?
--------------
It's totally free! There will be food and camping space provided for
attendees who need a place to crash on Saturday night, though you can drive
home, or attend just Saturday, or just Sunday, whatever suits your schedule.

If you decide to camp, just bring a pillow and a sleeping bag. :-)


Free T-Shirt with Registration!
--------------------------
Register, and you'll get a cool t-shirt for free:

IMPORTANT: It's critical that you sign up by Wednesday, September 26th, and
be sure to include your shirt size! Once we take the art and shirt info to
the printer on the 26th, there's no guarantee of getting a t-shirt!

I would love to have you come to BarCamp Milwaukee 2. It's going to be a
great time of learning, sharing and getting to know all kinds of different,
interesting people from Milwaukee and the Midwest. Sign up here:

http://barcampmilwaukee.com/user/register

If you have any questions about the event, send me a note. I'm happy to
provide answers.
