Dana is the author of the Math::Prime::Util module on CPAN. Outline: * Primes * Applications * Primality testing in Perl * Sieves * 15 sieve implementations in Perl including a new string-based sieve * 6 CPAN modules * Performance and memory use * Prime Counting Sadly a lot of the web examples of Perl sieves are quite bad, often 3-6x slower than Perl can do. We can do better! There are also a number of CPAN modules related to primes, which will briefly be covered. http://pdx.pm.org/kwiki/?December2012Meeting As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the lucky lab. -- http://pdx.pm.org From enobacon at gmail.com Thu Dec 13 00:06:02 2012 From: enobacon at gmail.com (Seven til Seven) Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:06:02 -0800 Subject: [Pdx-pm] tonight: Prime Number Generation in Perl Message-ID: <201212130006.02148.enobacon@gmail.com> Thursday, December 13th, 6:53pm at FreeGeek -- 1731 SE 10th Ave. Prime Number Generation in Perl speaker: Dana Jacobsen Dana will give a brief introduction to primes, primality testing, and sieves, then show examples in Perl.

[image: O'Reilly Open Source Convention] Bring Us Your Open Source Expertise Send us your proposal by February 4 This year, we'll celebrate 15 years of *OSCON * and open source success, and we're inviting you to be part of the celebration. Open source has come a long way?from the early days when a handful of visionaries were working to make the case for free and open software (imagine wanting access to your source code!) to today, when open source is the standard for everyday programming languages, databases, utilities, and operating systems. OSCON is where the community gathers each year to learn, teach, applaud success stories, and map the strategies for the future. *Contribute to your community by speaking at OSCON 2013* The *call for participation * is now open. Speaking at OSCON is a great way to share what you know with your peers, while getting projects, ideas, and your company in front of a savvy and connected audience. You don't need to be a guru or experienced speaker; it's enough to have something worthwhile to share and the desire to communicate it to others. Proposals are due by February 4. *See a list of suggested topics and submission guidelines *. Learn More Here's to the next 15 years!

January 10th, 6:53pm at FreeGeek ? 1731 SE 10th Ave. speaker: David Wheeler Sane Database Change Management with Sqitch SQL change management is hard. Most ?migration?-style implementations require opaque naming conventions, prefer DSLs that cover a fraction of SQL, and require duplication of code for simple changes to existing functions. Such does not have to be. And now it?s not Introducing Sqitch, simple SQL change management that doesn?t suck. Sqitch doesn?t care what programming language your app is written in. It has no opinions as to what database to use or what its schema should look like. And it doesn?t require sequentially-named migration scripts or the use of any DSL other than SQL. Sqitch lets you to write SQL migration scripts that target your database, and provides a simple, unintrusive interface for specifying dependencies, so that it can run things in the proper order. So come to this talk to learn all about Sqitch: How it works, where to get it, and how to get the most out of managing database deployments. David Wheeler is Senior Data Architect at iovation and an associate at PGExperts. He is responsible, among other things, for PGXN, pgTAP, DesignScene, and way too many CPAN modules. He lives in Portland unless he?s traveling with his family. As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab. -- --------------------------------------------------- http://pdx.pm.org ---------------------------------------------------
