[tpm] Ingy döt Net: Bashing your Brain Cells (Thursday, Nov 28)

[Olaf Alders]

So, Mr. Ingy döt Net was showing me some of the stuff he was working on and I mentioned to him that he might like to present all of this crazy stuff to us.  Our next open meeting slot is not until January, so I offered him my slot for this coming Thursday.  I can push my MetaCPAN talk until January, if that's OK.  I feel like I've already done a lot of talking anyway between lightning talks and speaking last month as well.  Here's a an abstract for what Ingy plans to speak about. 

I should mention that he'll be presenting remotely.  This will be our first full-length meeting with a remote presenter.  I'll demo a hangout with him in advance to make sure we get the details right.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In his first ever Internationally Remote Perl Monger Trainwreck (live demos
galore), Ingy döt Net (the man who ruined Perl with abominations like Kwiki,
YAML, IO::All, …) will Bash your remaining brain cells with his latest
Frankensteinian misdemeanors. Bash? Yes, Bash!
 
* git-hub -- All of Git-Hub in your terminal
* PairUp -- Pair program with anyone on GitHub or IRC
* Termcast -- Let the internet watch you
* git-subrepo -- Git submodules can DIE!
* bpan -- Like CPAN, only worse
* json-bash -- Seriously
* test-more-bash -- No joke
* bash+ -- aka Perl 0.1
* ... -- pronounced dotdotdot
* 10 things you (probably) don't know about YAML  

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, there's some kind of crazy stuff in here and some really cool stuff as well.  His git-hub repo gives you the power of github at the command line.  PairUp lets you share a tmux session with a collaborator and it actually munges your tmux preferences together.  You can find a lot of his projects here: https://github.com/ingydotnet

This is the kind of presentation that doesn't require any Perl knowledge.  It should appeal to programmers in general since a lot of the tools aren't specific to Perl, but are the kinds of things you can integrate into your daily workflow.
