[LA.pm] LA.pm Meetup Tonight at Media Temple

[Andrew Grangaard]

        Presentations:

   1. Josh Barratt: /AnyEvent -- Perl Asynchronous Programming/
      Abstract:
      Event driven programming has been a powerful paradigm for years,
      but it's emerging as an increasingly important way to work. Making
      events easy is part of what has made node.js so exciting, and is
      possible in Python with Eventlet and Ruby with EventMachine.
      Perl's answer to this is very mature and flexible: AnyEvent. As
      well as an introduction to the module, how to use it, and some of
      the other modules in the "family", we'll cover some before/after
      examples of synchronous code made asynchronous.
   2. Gabe Costello: /Epistemology & Perl Oracles/
      Abstract:
      Most of us are familiar with the output of Perl's native test
      oracle every time we install a module from CPAN, ok, not ok. When
      testing, did you ever think that you might need to know more than
      that to isolate faults? This discussion covers the Test Anything
      Protocol (TAP), capturing system events & using Perl to lean more
      what you know & what you don't know about the application you are
      testing.
