October 13th, 6:53pm at FreeGeek -- 1731 SE 10th Ave. Practical Lists / Utilities pulled from Fennec speaker: Chad Granum Chad will give 2 shorter talks in a row. The first talk will deal with lists, what they are, how to use them. The second talk is a short presentation on several useful tools/utilities that started as part of the Fennec project but have been pulled out for general use. Practical Lists Chad will define what a list is and how it differs from an array. He will cover tools such as grep and map, as well as some List::Util functions. He will explain how you may start using lists in more places when you understand how they work. Utilities pulled from Fennec Fennec was a large undertaking, it also required implementing a few new ideas. Many of the new ideas are useful outside of the Fennec project. Chad will cover the following until he runs out of time: Exporter::Declare Method::Workflow Child Exodist::Util Devel::CallerStack As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the LuckyLab. -- http://pdx.pm.org From jaleto at gmail.com Thu Oct 7 12:37:10 2010 From: jaleto at gmail.com (Jonathan Leto) Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2010 12:37:10 -0700 Subject: [Pdx-pm] Pacific Northwest Parrot Developers Gathering/Hackathon Message-ID: Howdy folks, I've just created a Calagator event for our upcoming Parrot Gathering/Hackathon. I would greatly appreciate if y'all could disseminate this to the various user groups that you think may be interested in this event. I think it would be interesting to get some people that hack on other VM's that are locals (such as Rubinius) to come by and see what we can learn from each other. http://calagator.org/events/1250459325 Thanks!

Message-ID: <201010111801.54112.enobacon@gmail.com> Hi all, I think we'll be meeting in the classroom this month, so we probably need someone to bring in a projector or for Chad to format his presentation as an interactive/illustrative 3x5 card deck. Is anyone able to bring a projector? (Or convince Chad to present without one?) Thanks, Eric -- Moving pianos is dangerous. Moving pianos are dangerous.
