From agrangaard at rubiconproject.com Wed Jun 3 17:01:36 2009 From: agrangaard at rubiconproject.com (Andrew Grangaard) Date: Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:01:36 -0700 Subject: [LA.pm] June Meeting (Westside), let's pick a date. Message-ID: <4A270EE0.1020700@rubiconproject.com> Hello Los Angeles! Who's ready for a meeting with perl mongers? I've talked my company (The Rubicon Project) into hosting and found a couple of speakers. Now we just have to pick a day and get us all together. I talked with the Thousand Oaks guys and some of them would be interested in attending. They meet on the second Wednesday of the month. I'd like to do the fourth wednesday of the month, to make that an easy alternation. The fourth Wednesday of June is in the middle of YAPC, is this going to be a conflict? Can we pull off the 17th, two weeks from today? Yes, I'm partial to Wednesday, but could be swayed. Please reply with some possible dates, and then I'll pick one by fiat. :) If you are interested in presenting please contact me as well. ANNOUNCEMENT: Perl Mongers Meeting When: 7-9pm Date: TBD Where: The Rubicon Project HQ - 1925 S. Bundy, 90025 What: Perl! Speakers: 1) Data processing and Numerical Analysis in Perl (David Williams) 2) Moose and Joose -- Programming is (more) fun again. (Matthew Burns) About our speakers: Daivd Williams is at the Rubicon Project. He's a mathematician, puzzle solver and perl lover. Matthew Burns is at ValueClick / Search123. He's a magician and great at finding creative ways to plug things together. Thanks, Andrew PS. Yes, I've checked with Pablo who forwarded me to Juan. Juan has been quiet, so I assume this is all good. PPS. my blog post on the topic http://lowlevelmanager.blogspot.com/2009/05/reviving-los-angeles-perl-mongers.html PPPS.

We had nearly 20 people and two excellent presentations. David's talk challenged the common belief that "Perl is Slow" and sparked an excellent discussion that ranged from data models, snowflake schemas and pure perl olap cubes and off to Bloom filters, scaling horizontally vs vertically, hadoop/hbase and onwards. To paraphrase: Make it as simple as possible (elegance) and think about every speed consideration (diligence). Matt's presentation was packed as he demonstrated the technologies and ideas behind his latest project. We got to see a lot of live code and patterns in action. Touching on Moose, MooseX::Storage, KiokuDB, Coro, Continuity, Mason, JSON, AnyEvent, Moose::Object::Pluggable, Process, Seamstress, HTML::Tree, HTML::Element, Net::Server, IPC::Cmd, jquery and Joose. Then gluing it all together and testing it. The pdf cheatsheet from his talk is available at the link below. In between speakers we continued the discussion while we munched pizza and raided the beer fridge. We had a fun cross section of people, those who signed in to show support: Gray, HSiegel, Jordan, David, David, Matt, Allen and others). Eric and his coworkers from Campus Explorer even drove to Santa Monica on their work-from-home-Wednesday. Rubicon Project, thanks for the support, location, food and vibe. Can't wait to see you all in July. http://lowlevelmanager.blogspot.com/2009/06/june-perl-mongers-recap.html peace, Andrew -- Andrew Grangaard Senior Software Engineer - Rubicon Project - www.rubiconproject.com > Hello Los Angeles! > I am pleased to announce a Los Angeles Perl Mongers Meeting: > > What: LA Perl Mongers Meeting > When: 7-9pm > Date: Wed, Jun 17, 2009. > Where: The Rubicon Project HQ - 1925 S.
