From madcityzen at gmail.com Mon May 20 10:36:38 2013 From: madcityzen at gmail.com (Doug Bell) Date: Mon, 20 May 2013 12:36:38 -0500 Subject: [Chicago-announce] Meeting this Thursday, May 23, 6:30pm - Building Command-Line Apps; ChicagoPM Github Organization Message-ID: <-7322033867164208648@unknownmsgid> This week, I'll be giving an intermediate-level presentation on building command-line applications, starting from simple scripts and moving on through module-based, structured applications using CPAN frameworks. Knowledge of Perl is recommended, though knowledge of command-line apps is not. The meeting will be at our usual location, 540 W Madison St. in the 9th floor conference rooms. Pizza and beverages will be provided (if you have requests for specific flavors of pizza or beverage, let me know). Meetup link: http://www.meetup.com/Windy-City-Perl-mongers-Meetup/events/119961772/ Please RSVP on the meetup page before 4:00pm on Thursday to make your entrance as smooth as possible (RSVP is not strictly required, but it will be hard for me to give the presentation and authorize security to let you in at the same time). Directions are on the Meetup page. This will be the first in a set of free, open-source intermediate-level presentations released by the Chicago.PM organization on Github. The presentation itself will be released with a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, and the code inside the presentation will be licensed under the same terms as Perl itself (Artistic License 1 or GPL version 1 at your discretion). Our goal is to build a repository of living presentations that pick up after the beginner's workshops and explore single topics with some depth. Emphasis will be placed on best practices with pragmatism: Here's multiple ways to do it, here's why you might choose one way over another, here's some things you might see out in the wild and how to improve on them. Our github organization is located at http://github.com/ChicagoPM and if you want to help contribute, e-mail me and I'll add you to the team.
