Hi everyone...
Here's a final announcement (with floor & room info) for this coming
Monday's TPM meeting. I've put a bit more info than usual because I
understand that some people from other PM groups (Buffalo esp.) are
interested in coming in for the talk.
Cheers,
Richard
Date: Monday 29 November 2004
Time: 6:45pm
Location: 2 Bloor St. W.
(NW corner of Yonge & Bloor, CIBC Skyscraper)
16th floor, room 9
Note that someone will have to fetch you from the lobby
because security locks down the elevators after 5:30pm.
Go to the security desk when you arrive to ask for the
cell phone # for the TPM meeting -- when you call it,
someone will come to get you. Floor & room info will be
left at the security desk as well.
Parking: You should budget to arrive "in the area" 20 minutes
before the talk to find parking and to walk from parking
to 2 Bloor St. W. This is a super-busy downtown area
with frustrating driving conditions, so be warned.
You should be able to find parking garages off of
Cumberland St. (parallel to Bloor, 1 small block to its
north, running W. of Yonge St.) or at Hayden St.
(1 small block south of Bloor, parallel to it, to the E.
of Yonge)
Topic: Mac OS X and Perl
Speaker: Steve Hayman (from Apple)
Note that Steve gave a keynote talk on this topic at
YAPC::NA 2004 in Buffalo and it was really good!
Description:
------------
Every Macintosh ships with Mac OS X and Perl 5.8, but so what?
What's this UNIX-based operating system all about, and how does Perl
fit in? Apple Consulting Engineer Steve Hayman will review the state
of Perl on Mac OS X, and show how it is exactly-almost-kind of-like
Perl on other platforms, and demonstrate how scripting on the Mac
can be completely "unlike" other platforms.
