My life will get back to normal after the 22nd, when our app goes live at work. Until then my attempt to get the students of UVIC coding are on hold.

(The room will be announced the day before.) Clarke Brunsdon will talk about a project of his using POE. That's the Perl Object Environment, an extremely cool and powerful tool for asynchronous operations. If you want to write an IRC bot that simultaneously tails log files and looks for stock market changes, POE is for you. POE is to event-driven programming what the Tower of London is to jewelry. Many other Perl Mongers groups around the world are talking about Ruby on Rails. If anyone here has experience with it and can talk about it or at least answer questions at a meeting on it, please let me know. Other topics to be covered as time permits; make requests for anything particular. (Courtesy copy to VLUG members by permission of the list manager.

See http://www.uvic.ca/buildings/eow.html . That's fairly distant from our usual location (which, hopefully, we will return to in the future).

If you want to write an IRC bot that simultaneously tails log files and looks for stock market changes, POE is for you. POE is to event-driven programming what the Tower of London is to jewelry. If we get a double-digit attendance I will give away my copy of Higher Order Perl by Mark Jason Dominus to a randomly selected supplicant, provided they don't mind that my kittens got to it first and the cover has a few teeth marks...
