Chris McAvoy will be rounding up the big four dynamic languages in a  
rootin'-tootin' look at what's what in the world of Perl, PHP, Python  
and Ruby.  Is PHP just for script-slinging marketdroids?  Do Python's  
whitespace rules really suck as much as you'd think?  Is Ruby more  
than Rails?  And what's up with Perl 6 anyway?

Chris promises to make this a no-BS, no-bashing, honest look at the  
strengths and weaknesses of each of these languages.  Come with an  
open mind and we'll explore the limitless frontiers of awesome  
programming.

Chris will be presenting both in the city and the suburbs this month:

* in Wheaton at IIT Rice campus on Feb 13, 2007

* in the city at Performics on Feb 27, 2007

2007_02_27_dynamic_language_hootenanny

Come on out and learn some new tricks!
