Perlmongers Victoria
Tuesay Oct 19
7:00 pm in CIT120 (Harry Hickman Building).
At the next Perlmongers Victoria, Alan Ezust will give a talk about Python.
Python, a relatively new cross-platform free object-oriented scripting
language, has managed to gain a remarkable acceptance among the open-source
community, as demonstrated by applications such as Google and Zope. It has
drawn its influences from many languages, cherry-picking the best features of
them all, and providing a very clean programming language on top. C++, Lisp,
Java and Smalltalk programmers will all recognize features they know and
love, but perl programmers will immediately notice some inspirations from
from there too. As far as I know, it has everybody's favorite feature, and at
the same time, encourages very good programming habits.
In this talk, we will dissect a few code examples based on some Gang of Four
(Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides) design patterns combined with recipes from
the Python Cookbook. You will learn some advanced (and recent) features of
the python language.
