hi all, the 2nd tuesday is in two days and we haven't heard from our fearless leader about a meeting. i don't have any canned talks but i do have two possible topics i can spew forth upon.
one is a new module i am working on that will be called CMS::Simple. it is meant to take content in very simple formats (possibly wiki like but different in many ways) meant to be edited by non-tech types and converted into output pages (typically html) and then publish them. it uses Template::Simple and a component organization that maps content sections to template sections (template includes, <DIV> sections, css). i am developing this for use in the new cocoa web site and the design looks interesting. so i can babble about this and wouldn't mind hearing feedback and ideas and the usual flames. :) it will part of my ever growing empire of cpan modules that are simple to understand and use but where there already exist many others. i am just trying to do things right. :) the other idea is a coding style concept i am calling 'eschew else' (maybe 'eschew else or else!' :). in perl (but not other langs i have used) i have found that i rarely need to use else clauses. in fact in 10k lines of stem code i have have only 29 else's! that has to be some sort of record. and my code is not obscure or complicated but in fact is considered easy to read. so this babble^Wtalk would be on how i design my code to not need else's in most cases. it could be considered a very early preview of a pontential lightning/short talk at some future conference or even the BPW. thanx, uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
