June 11th, 6:53pm at FreeGeek -- 1731 SE 10th Ave. Speaker: Jay Shirley Topic: Demystifying DBIx::Class ORMs aren't mystic, and neither is DBIx::Class. Come to this talk to learn how to do the basics with DBIx::Class and see some sufficiently advanced technology that is distinguishable from magic. In this brief talk, attendees will learn how to create a schema and manage the data in their database all without touching a line of SQL. Using only what is available on CPAN, build a database of brewers and their beers complete with a review system. Demystifying DBIC - What's an ORM? - Why are ORMs Scary? - What makes DBIC Different - Objects - Relations - Management - In Perl without SQL - Deployment - A Use Case: - Beer! - Sit back down. We're only talking about beer in the abstract. - Beers are made by brewers and distributed by distributors. (Lots of good relations here.) - Creating the database - Writing scripts And lastly: Beer! The non-abstract sort will be studied at the Lucky Lab after the meeting. -- http://pdx.pm.org From igal at pragmaticraft.com Sat Jun 7 07:54:23 2008 From: igal at pragmaticraft.com (Igal Koshevoy) Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2008 07:54:23 -0700 Subject: [Pdx-pm] PDXFUNC MEETING: Monday, June 9, 7pm, CubeSpace -- FP with dynamic languages Message-ID: <484AA11F.8060305@pragmaticraft.com> Please join us at the next meeting of pdxfunc, the Portland Functional Programming Study Group. The group meets monthly for presentations, demos and discussions. We welcome programmers interested in all functional languages, and the meetings feature content for coders of all skill levels. If interested, please subscribe to our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/pdxfunc PRESENTATION: Title: Functional programming with dynamic languages Summary: Dynamic, multi-paradigm languages such as Ruby, Python and Perl allow programmers great flexibility in how they can write their code, although most use an imperative (AKA "procedural") style. However, using a functional style selectively can help provide clearer and shorter code, reduce bugs, and improve performance. This presentation will provide a basic overview of functional programming, sample code demonstrating how to use functional programming features of dynamic languages, compare and contrast code samples of functional and imperative styles, and discuss when each style is appropriate. No previous knowledge of functional programming is necessary. Bio: Igal Koshevoy is a Business-Technology Consultant with over a decade of experience creating sophisticated, business-critical systems using open source technologies. He is the author of an open source server automation toolkit available at "automateit.org", and supports local community efforts through Calagator, Portland Ruby Brigade, Portland Functional Programming Study Group, Legion of Tech, Ignite Portland, etc. See you there! PS: Sorry for the short notice, but Kevin's talk on XML parsing with Haskell had to be delayed. Hopefully he'll be able to present it next month.

If you think your talk is a bit too complex for the average user, Advanced Topics is looking for speakers for August and beyond. (We have a speaker for July. He might even show up.) One talk I would like to see for Advanced Topics would be on writing XS modules. Contact me off list if you are interested in speaking at Advanced Topics.

July 9th, 6:53pm at FreeGeek -- 1731 SE 10th Ave. Speaker: chromatic Topic: Rescue Your Doomed Project Any large software project struggles with managing code, managing people, and managing expectations. This is especially true for free software projects developed mostly by volunteers. Your project will run into one or more of them. Here?s what can possibly go wrong, how you can make your problems worse? and how to fix them. Topics include: * how not to manage volunteers * how not to promote your project to potential users * how to avoid releasing software * how to let bottlenecks derail your plans * how to reduce the quality of your code * how to chase away interested volunteers * how to chase away core contributors * how to render beautiful documentation useless * how to ensure that carefully-devised technical plans will go largely ignored * how to hide important knowledge in inaccessible silos * how to promote technical contributions over the polish that really matters * how to maintain features no one knows anything about ... and most importantly, how to identify stupidly simple ways to make users and developers happy, productive, and successful. As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the LuckyLab. -- http://pdx.pm.org From gorthx at gmail.com Thu Jun 26 14:13:27 2008 From: gorthx at gmail.com (gabrielle) Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:13:27 -0700 Subject: [Pdx-pm] FW: Newsletter from O'Reilly UG Program, June 26 Message-ID: <48bb92b0806261413p5789a1beq7480a88b661b69d7@mail.gmail.com> This month's books: -- For book review writing tips and suggestions, go to: ***Ableton Live 7 Tips and Tricks (PC Publishing) ISBN 13: 9781906005085 ***Advanced Rails Recipes (Pragmatic Bookshelf) ISBN 13: 9780978739225 ***Deploying Rails Applications (Pragmatic Bookshelf) ISBN 13: 9780978739201 ***Dojo: The Definitive Guide ISBN 13: 9780596516482 ***Essential SQLAlchemy ISBN 13: 9780596516147 ***Face to Face: Rick Sammon's Complete Guide to Photographing People ISBN 13: 9780596515744 ***Fashioning Technology ISBN 13: 9780596514372 ***Flex 3 Cookbook ISBN 13: 9780596529857 ***Getting Started with Flex 3 ISBN 13: 9780596520649 ***Google Apps: The Missing Manual ISBN 13: 9780596515799 ***High Performance MySQL, Second Edition ISBN 13: 9780596101718 ***JavaScript: The Good Parts ISBN 13: 9780596517748 ***Learning Flex 3 ISBN 13: 9780596517328 ***Learning Perl, Fifth Edition ISBN 13: 9780596520106 ***MAKE: Technology on Your Time Volume 14 ISBN 13: 9780596518967 ***Maker's Notebook (Hard Cover) ISBN 13: 9780596519414 ***Mastering Dojo (Pragmatic Bookshelf) ISBN 13: 9781934356111 ***Painting the Web ISBN 13: 9780596515096 ***Programming Visual Basic 2008 ISBN 13: 9780596518431 ***Simply Rails 2, Second Edition (SitePoint) ISBN 13: 9780980455205 ***Take Control of .Mac (TidBITS) ISBN 13: 9781933671086 ***Take Control of Apple Mail in Leopard (TidBITS) ISBN 13: 9781933671383 ***Take Control of Back to My Mac (TidBITS) ISBN 13: 9781933671468 ***Take Control of Making Music with GarageBand '08 (TidBITS) ISBN 13: 9781933671390 ***Take Control of Recording with GarageBand '08 (TidBITS) ISBN 13: 9781933671123 ***Take Control of Screen Sharing in Leopard (TidBITS) ISBN 13: 9781933671475 ***Take Control of Spam with Apple Mail (TidBITS) ISBN 13: 9781933671031 ***Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Network (TidBITS) ISBN 13: 9781933671284 ***The Art of Black and White Photography (Hard Cover) (Rocky Nook) ISBN 13: 9781933952277 ***The Art of Capacity Planning: Rough Cuts Version ISBN 13: 9780596521356 ***The Book of IMAP (No Starch) ISBN 13: 9781593271770 ***The Ultimate HTML Reference (Hard Cover) (SitePoint) ISBN 13: 9780980285888 ***Ubuntu For Non-Geeks, Third Edition (No Starch) ISBN 13: 9781593271800 ***Wikipedia Reader's Guide: The Missing Manual ISBN 13: 9780596521745 ***Windows PowerShell Pocket Reference ISBN 13: 9780596521783 ***Your Brain: The Missing Manual ISBN 13: 9780596517786 From scratchcomputing at gmail.com Fri Jun 27 14:34:49 2008 From: scratchcomputing at gmail.com (Eric Wilhelm) Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:34:49 -0700 Subject: [Pdx-pm] shirt pre-order deadline Monday Message-ID: <200806271434.50105.ewilhelm@cpan.org> Hi all, To make these happen before OSCON, I need to spawn the printing process on Monday. At the moment, there are not enough pre-orders to make it happen even if I order myself one in each color. http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/pdx.pm.2008shirt.html If you would like to purchase a shirt, please pre-order it before Monday. Odd sizes, colors, and women's shirts will be particularly hard to get if they are not ordered in advance. Even if you just want the "normal size" shirt in the "normal color", please pre-order so I can define $normal. Thanks, Eric -- "You can't win. You can't break even.

The Pittsburgh Perl Mongers are hard at work planning this years Pittsburgh Perl Workshop. (We are also planing YAPC::NA 09 but more on that later. But go ahead and mark your calendars for June 22 through Wednesday, June 24, 2009). Mark your calendars for this years PPW will be October 11th and 12th 2008. At this years YAPC::NA I was surprised at how much was going on before and after YAPC. So if you plan on coming to PPW and would like to have a hack-a-thon or something before or after the official PPW event and would like some help planing that let us know and we will do what we can to help. PPW08 will have more training, more fun, and more talks than every before but if you think we might be missing something send us a note about it and maybe we can make it happen. We can not make everyone's wishes come true but we would like to try. If you want to keep up with PPW announcements we have an announce mailing list http://groups.google.com/group/ppw-announce/. Also you can keep an eye on http://pghpw.org/. If you want to contact the PPW organizers you can email us at ppw- cabal at googlegroups.com. If you are interested in being a sponsor you can contact us at sponsors at pghpw.org. This year we are going to be offering a speaker mentor program. This is a chance to have someone work with you to polish your talk from idea to delivery. If you are interested in being a mentor or being mentored please let us know. If you have already have a talk proposal you can send it to us now at ppw-proposals at googlegroups.com. If you are planning on attending the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop 2008 please consider joining the Linkedin group PPW008 http://www.linkedin.com/groupInvitation?groupID=89938&sharedKey=46A24D3 F241B .

It's nice to finally match faces with some of the names from IRC, any of the mailing lists, so there's an aspect of 'star watching'. There's also all the interesting conversation that happens when people start to huddle around the booth, I know last year some of the best conversations I had were with business folks that came over and would start to grill me about why anyone would use perl over Rails, after about 3 minutes of us talking about the good parts of the perl community and CPAN it would usally turn in to both of us bashing some aspect of Rails, so theres also the ability to talk about something that you love. Everyone that I've ever encountered at the booth is very open and nice to talk so it's an all around good time in my book. Ohh and you also get the inside scoop on where the good parties are. If there are any questions that any one has feel free to ask away.

If you want a shirt and are not planning to pre-order, is it because there are too many color choices or not enough procrastination opportunities?

Any chance of children's sizes?

Very few of the colors are available in the women's XXS (only pink?), but I guess we might be able to try the kids shirt? http://store.americanapparel.net/2105.html The catch is that the inked part of the screen will be about 10" wide. It might be hard to fit that much ink on a child. So we can try for odd sizes and different cut -- just check the size chart and tell me what you come up with. --Eric -- As an old bass player friend of mine used to say: throw money, don't clap. --Tony Parisi --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com --------------------------------------------------- From david at kineticode.com Mon Jun 30 23:37:58 2008 From: david at kineticode.com (David E.

Anna will love it! Come to think of it, a lot of Perl mongers have kids now. They might be a popular item for sale (or auction). Best, David
