Barton) Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 08:45:31 -0600 Subject: [Saltlake-pm] Modern Perl book Message-ID: <1682743.lT9JiSfFto@thinker> In last night's meeting, we were discussing good books for new Perl developers. Learning Perl is a tried and tested resource. I've found chromatic's Modern Perl book to be quite good, especially at instilling good "modern" habits. Plus, it's available for free download. http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html While it covers more advanced topics like object oriented Perl with Moose, it does spend the first 100 pages introducing fundamental aspects of the language. It's not a bad introductory book for Perl. -- Doran L. Barton - Linux, Perl, Web, good fun, and more!

At Open West a few individuals mentioned that they have regular conflicts on Tuesday evenings. I suspect that on any given weeknight a handful of people will have a conflict. But we should test the water. If we moved our meetings to the 2nd Wednesday every month rather than the 2nd Tuesday, who among us would we lose? Who would we gain? Please weigh in here on the mailing list if this changes your ability to attend. Our next meeting will probably be the 2nd Tuesday in June (6/11), unless it looks like there would be a net gain by shifting to the 2nd Weds. I'll hold off setting the date until I get some feedback.

I'd like to know what is more interesting to others: DBIx::Class or Test::Class? Also, I think it would be beneficial if we also had a short mini-presentation on an introductory topic at the beginning. Something like "Using map" or a quick tutorial on using references or something like that. Would anyone be up for doing that? Maybe 15 minutes, max?

I was able to get a better idea of what can be done with and how to implement Perl, but clearly I missed some of the details. I have been looking at some of the books that you guys suggested and it is going well so far. Also that night I commented about the class I had Tuesday nights that might make it hard to go, well good news! Tuesday, the first day of the class, our teacher decided that we only needed one day a week instead of two so my Tuesdays are free. Also Wednesdays are free. So I would be good with either. I like it when stuff works out like that. :) Zach Gibbs On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 7:23 PM, Doran L.

I don't know if you've already decided--the website currently says DBIx::Class--but Test::Class would be my preference FWIW. Maybe another time. Speaking of presentations, did Gordon have slides for his Dancer intro? If so, can they be made available?

I personally feel more deficient in DBIx::Class, but I don't mind if that waits for another time. Doran, please let me know which you intend to discuss and I'll update the site. ...but we still have plenty of time. I also put myself down for an intro to Perl topic. I was thinking I could do lexical scoping, or simply take on a few functions and explore them a bit. Suggestions are welcome. If nothing in particular is requested, I might look something up in Learning Perl or Intermediate Perl and run with it.
