[Pdx-pm] tonight - Programming in the Future + Intro to Dist::Zilla

[Seven til Seven]

  Thu. July 12th, 6:53pm at at FreeGeek – 1731 SE 10th Ave.

 speakers: Eric Wilhelm + Jonathan "Duke" Leto

  (Rumored cameo / lightning talk by Florian "rafl" Ragwitz.)

 Programming in the Future - a preview of the upcoming OSCON 
presentation covering the last and next 25 years of programming 
technology using Perl as our time machine. We'll look at the evolution 
of tools, syntax, modules, and standard practices, the gooey innards, 
and some "hot new things" which are still being discovered again. 

 Introduction to Dist::Zilla for Newbies - eliminates your excuses for 
not learning more about Dist::Zilla and using it on a regular basis. By 
the end of this talk, you will know how and why to use dzil as your 
favorite Perl package developer tool, and you might even need to publish 
more code on the CPAN just to have an excuse to use it more. 

 As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab 
Brew Pub.
