Just 24 spaces remain for those interested in presenting about their favorite technology. Once we reach 64 confirmed sessions, our major advertising blitz to fill up the RSVP slots for attendees will begin. In terms of Perl content, we have only the dynamic Chris Berber talking about Catalyst. If anyone is interested in presenting another Perl-centric one, please get set up on the site: http://desertcodecamp.com All you have to do is suggest a track or session using the textboxes at the right, and then sign up to teach a session by clicking the blue "I can teach this!" link that appears on all suggested sessions. Every classroom has a projector, Internet connection, and whiteboard. So all you have to worry about is preparing great content. At this point other open source content includes a fun Java presentation about the Eclipse Web Tools project, a whopping six Ruby on Rails presentations, an intro to MySQL, and a neat-O thing on Subversion presented by Wendy Smoak. Don't let this be the only OSS at this camp. Thanks so much for your technical contributions! -Lorin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's cool that the UAT hosts this. I didn't end up going to the last one because they made me nervous through all the presentations on non-free technologies. But it turned out really well (I hear), and even though they actually advertise it does seem to be a community effort :) So heck... let's present a perl topic or three! What to present... hmm. --Brock On 2006.10.04.08.21, Lorin Thwaits wrote: | We're nearing capacity for the sessions at Desert Code Camp, having 40 | confirmed so far.

For instance, one could parse XML documents code with: /^(<(?:[^<>]+|(?1))*>)$/ (along with the appropriate amount of hand waving). Yves was critical of the implementation, in that it requires capturing "(...)" to be used, rather than grouping "(?:...)", but on the other hand it conforms with what Python and PCRE already do. Dave Mitchell was most impressed, and quizzed Yves about the behavioural semantics regarding backtracking. Rafael wanted to know if it was possible to extend the patch to allow case sensitivity changes by way of something like "(?i(?1))". (Alas, no). Robin Houston also expressed his delight at the patch and admitted to being the party who added this functionality to PCRE since he lacked the courage to attack Perl's regular expression internals. He too raised a couple of questions about behaviour in borderline areas. Yves followed up with another version of the patch that added user documentation and more tests. He has also been reading Jeffrey Friedl's *Mastering Regular Expressions*, and has taken up the challenge to resolve as much as possible the areas in which Jeffrey finds Perl's regular expressions wanting. He laid out his roadmap in "perltodo". All applied.

Besides a lot of other presentations, there are at least three Perl-oriented presentations: * The Catalyst Framework (presented by Christopher Beber) * Perl for the Beginning or Aspiring Clinically Insane Programmer (presented by our own Scott Walters) * Perl Continuity: Create Web Applications Using Continuations (presented by our own Brock Wilcox (that's me!)) and there are several presentations which may be of interest, such as a regular expression 101 talk, some Javascript/AJAX stuff, CSS, Agile, and so on. It's free, but you should sign up at http://desertcodecamp.com Since we haven't had a meeting for a while, you should come to this :) --Brock From awwaiid at thelackthereof.org Tue Oct 24 10:23:33 2006 From: awwaiid at thelackthereof.org (Brock) Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 10:23:33 -0700 Subject: [Phoenix-pm] Perl Job - Norchem (XML data export) Message-ID: <20061024172333.GB28238@thelackthereof.org> This is the company that I used to work for, they've got a pretty cool and large perl application going, and this job (contract) is to build an (additional) export method.

A big "Thanks" to those who made that happen. Several of the local user groups have embraced camp in this way. Would be nice for all attendees to register. We're trying to keep an accurate count so we know what rooms each session should be in, and how much pizza to buy and everything.

I need a graphical artist who doesn't suck. The work is a series of miscellaneous things. So, what's a good board or site to go to to shop for graphic designers? CodeCamp -- nicely done. Very low fuss. Speakers don't even have to check in. Someone steps into your talk part way through to make sure you're there, apparently, and takes some photos. No cost. Nice turnout for a local thing... probably a few hundred people there. UACT doesn't exactly have a campus, but it's very nicely appointed. They have a computer lab in a depression in the floor which was is nice for eatting lunch and playing with your laptop or hanging out, and they have various game systems hooked up to TVs, and bright, modern data projectors, and good classroom space. Talks were good all in all with a few great ones in there. The 'Why Your User Interface Sucks' was a hoot. Various users groups descended upon it. The Microsoft weenies were everywhere, but PLUG (Phoenix Linux Users Group) had an all day install-fest going. I meant to swing by and rub elbows but never quite got around to it. There were three Perl talks, as you know, but when the audiance was asked if there were any Perl users in the UI talk, about 30 hands went up, so the Perlers were around. -scott On 0, Brock wrote: > > We are having our next meeting on Saturday at DesertCodeCamp :) > > http://desertcodecamp.com/ > > We will have three perl-related talks, > * The Catalyst Framework (Christopher) > * Perl for the Beginning or Aspiring Clinically Insane Programmer (Scott) > * Perl Continuity: Create Web Applications Using Continuations (Brock) > > I, being completely biased, am most interested in you attending the talk > on Continuity which will take place at 5:05pm.

Was really great to have all the Perl-ers there. Now if we could just get more Java folks presenting, and a few Python guys as well, then I think we'd be covering all the major languages. My goal is to have the most equal and broad coverage possible of current technology. A big thanks to you folks for helping to make that happen. For those curious, we had an estimated 325 people attend camp on Saturday. Kinda funny that both the PLUG guys and us expected that with Code Camp happening concurrently, they would have more people getting installed. Heck, we had even put it on our agenda for people to sign up and everything to try to get them more sign-ups. Strangely there was less attendance than normal for them, so apparently the other sessions were more compelling than the Ubuntu progress bar. BTW, do you guys know about barCamp coming up in early December? Josh Knowles, James Britt, and some other Ruby-centric guys are spearheading it, and just like with Code Camp any language goes. The interesting catch? Ya gotta present something if you're going. (Doesn't have to be big, just something.) http://barcamp.org/BarCampPhoenix Looks like it will be fun. -Lorin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Walters" To: "Brock" Cc: Sent: Monday, October 30, 2006 12:18 PM Subject: Re: [Phoenix-pm] Meeting Announcement :) > Hi everyone, > > Two things... > > I need a graphical artist who doesn't suck.
