Subject: [Chicago-announce] Meeting April 23 - FFI::Platypus
Message-ID: <1C3FC914-E4F0-4396-B8DA-F86C3BBCFE7A@gmail.com>

This month, Dylan Cali will give a presentation on FFI::Platypus[1], a friendly and fast interface to libffi[2]. With FFI::Platypus, you can use native libraries without having to write bindings in XS or one of the Inline modules, and still achieve excellent performance (almost as fast as XS).

Dylan will also show off other performance improvements added to version 1 of ZMQ::FFI[3], an FFI-based wrapper for the zeromq messaging library.

RSVP on the Chicago.PM Meetup page: http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoPM/events/220967211/ <http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoPM/events/220967211/>

Office hours are April 9 this month. RSVP on the Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoPM/events/221525547/ <http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoPM/events/221525547/>

Unfortunately, something's come up, and the FFI::Platypus talk has been postponed.

Instead, I'll be giving a talk on the DBIx::Class ORM library. DBIx::Class automates the tedium of writing SQL, and makes it easier to build more portable and reusable database models.

I'll have examples for an ETL job reporting database with an accompanying web application (my current $work project).
