From gabor at szabgab.com Mon Sep 15 00:06:12 2014 From: gabor at szabgab.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2014 07:06:12 +0000 Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #164 - Padre is now on GitHub Message-ID: <20140915070612.32427C408@s8.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/164.html Hi, I am impressed that the relatively small 'Swiss Perl Workshop' is still getting reports. I wish people attending other Perl events were that enthusiastic as well. Was this the weather? (which apparently is the 'topic of the week'), or have they just received too much chocolate? Anyway, enjoy your week! ~szabgab Announcements Padre is now on Github http://bit.ly/1BFfmMb After a long long waiting period, finally Kaare Rasmussen stepped up and JFDI-ed. Using some earlier preparations by Kevin Dawson he converted the Padre repository that had about 100 separate projects in it, into 100 GitHub repositories. There is still a lot to do around the move, but we have already seen some activities around the repositories. It is a great opportunity to revive this project that has been almost dormant for 2 years. -------------- ============= Articles Parsing: a timeline http://bit.ly/1BFfmMe Jeffrey Kegler writes about the history of parsing things and how it got to Marpa. -------------- Get a weather report at the terminal with Perl http://bit.ly/1BFfnQd David Farrell explains how to us WWW::Wunderground.::API to find out what os the weather like in New York.
