From eric at uc.org Thu Feb 8 20:55:23 2007 From: eric at uc.org (fishbot) Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2007 23:55:23 -0500 (EST) Subject: [kw-pm] Reminder: kw.pm February Meeting Message-ID: Ahh February. Brisk out, no? This month starts out on a Thursday, so the monthly meeting sneaks up a bit - it's next Thursday, the 15th. I'm doing a shortish talk this month - if anyone else is interested in doing a 10-30 minute talk there is lots of room. Here's my synopsis: Webserver: One Hour or Free =========================== Synopsis: I've been working for the last few years with webprotocols, particularly testing proxies and servers. The key to fast understanding has been writing my own clients and servers - often rapid thumbnails. You can write a (flawed and stripped down) webserver in an hour in Perl. I'll show what a 15 minute webserver looks like, and what the extra 45 minutes buys you. As last month (but unlike all previous months) we'll be meeting in BMH 1035 at the University of Waterloo. As always, we'll be meeting at 7pm. Daniel has provided directions: http://kw.pm.org/wiki/index.cgi?FAQ As usual, delicious pizza will be provided for those registered here: http://kw.pm.org/wiki/index.cgi?PizzaList by a rotating anonymous donor. Also just a reminder that we are looking for speakers for April and May. Hope to see you next week, fishbot From eric at uc.org Tue Feb 13 13:57:22 2007 From: eric at uc.org (fishbot) Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 16:57:22 -0500 (EST) Subject: [kw-pm] Reminder: kw.pm February Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Just to clarify, this is a presentation, and not a live coding session. I iteratively developed a very simple webserver in a few hours, doing it one logical, runnable step at a time. As I went, I saved off the code at each step. I'll be showing the code, running it, discussing some of the traps and tricks one step at a time. It will be code-heavy, but I've arranged things into easily digestible chunks, you'll not have to look at more than about 5 lines of code at a time. If you've done this sort of thing before, then please come and share your own tricks, problems and success stories. I'm anticipating that this will quickly dissolve into a roundtable.

It's going to be BMH 1005. It's close to the other room (1035). I'll put up posters with arrows. -Daniel On Tue, 13 Feb 2007, fishbot wrote: > > Just to clarify, this is a presentation, and not a live coding > session.

Allen) Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2007 23:11:38 -0500 (EST) Subject: [kw-pm] Reminder: kw.pm February Meeting In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Again, thanks for the great talk, Eric; and I'm finding myself trying to come up with an excuse to write myself a small server, just for the sake of doing it. What sort of server? Ideas, anyone? Thanks $anonymous++ for the pizza; and for everyone who came out on this cold and windy evening. The pitchers certainly helped with that, afterwards. Fun evening, all. Thanks. ...tune in for March, when baud does a rundown of image-resizing code, comparing for speed and accuracy. We may, before the March meeting, have a lunch for whomever can make it; if anyone who's not on the IRC channel would be interested, give a shout and we can try and post to the list when we get something figured out. There was a bit of talk of another PerlSki; again, give a shout if you're not on the channel and you're interested in that too. -Daniel On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Daniel R.
