Message-ID: <51268CFC-EBF0-4803-9072-E46DC923CA91@iinteractive.com>

Hola! Time for another meeting! 

I've got a whole stack of Modern Perl stuff here, so I'll be presenting chunks of that.  :)

I'll be lazily presenting from Jacinta's talk and materials: 

   "Putting the ideas together, a hands on tutorial of modern Perl"
      By Jacinta Richardson, YAPC::NA 2012
   http://act.yapcna.org/2012/talk/70
   http://perltraining.com.au/talks/piat.html
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fICpCo3pMsk

As you will see, the materials are excellent. Your company should hire those guys.

Without objection, let's hold the meeting at CoVisco again:

   Covis Coworking
   920 South 107th Avenue 
   Suite 106 

They've got a projector screen here now, so that + the TV should be plenty for the small crowds we've been attracting lately.

If you have pizza/pop preferences, do tell.  :)

See you tomorrow!

Hopefully I'll be back here @ 6:45 with the pizza, pasta, pop.   :)

-nod-  In my two rounds of being "computer science adjacent" (1993, 2010) I was amazed, both times, at how poorly CS mapped to programming computers for a living. There's a lot of conversational overlap, but academia's refusal to get "bogged down" in any particular toolset leaves students undercooked for being code monkeys. 

And 95% of computer science students don't want to be programmers...? Really? What % of CS-targeted jobs will be programming all day? 

They're still not teaching version control? (ANY version control system?) Isn't this like an art student having no concept of a paint brush?

As you can tell, I have many energetic beefs with computer related academia.  :)

You see the same thing in a lot of disciplines.  Computer sys admins who
have never worked with real server grade hardware, who know nothing about
planning for redundancy, etc.  Likewise you get electrical engineers who
have built theoretical circuits but have never had to produce a working
circuit with real world components.

Frankly I'm beginning to wonder if college really gives you anything useful
other than a checkbox "yep, got a degree"

That is the problem with any computer field, you can have a degree, but be
a complete bafoon, or be a self taught, and rock the world, but most
companies will take the bafoon over the guy that rocks cause of the degree.

Freaking awesome! Would you present your stuff at an Omaha Perl Mongers meeting?

Also you might find this helpful:

   Hardware Perl Mongers:
   http://hardware.pm.org/

They're a bunch of Perl/Hardware/Arduino guys. We dorked around with a bunch of Arduino stuff all week at YAPC::NA 2012.  :)
