[ANNOUNCE] Next Technical Meeting: 24th July @ Conway Hall
Hi everyone, London Perl Mongers will hold its next technical meeting in the Brockway room at Conway Hall on Thursday 24th July, doors opening at 18:30 for a 19:00 start. Please submit talk proposals to me (off-list), any length from 5 - 30 minutes will be cheerfully considered. Topic suggestions: - Today I Learned (something new to you about Perl or a technology built with Perl) - Technical Debt Reduction (war stories from your work experience, especially with a happy ending) - Personal projects in which you used Perl in some way - Perl 6 and/or its triumvirate of supported virtual machine back ends (Parrot, Moar, JVM) ... or indeed anything else Perl-related that you're passionate about. I would like to thank Rick Deller / Eligo Recruitment for generously sponsoring us. Cheers, -sue

You spreadsheet-y software sounds interesting. I hope I'll get to hear you talk about this one. With vim-like keybindings perhaps? ;-) -- Pierre Masci On 26 June 2014 09:25, Andrew Beverley wrote: > On Thu, 2014-06-26 at 08:56 +0100, Sue Spence wrote: > > > 1. 5 things I wish I'd known as a Perl beginner. > > > > > > > I think this one would make a good first talk at our next tech meet.

The Email::Signature thing as per previous email. 2. Some web-based software I've written recently that makes managing tabulated data easy. A bit like a spreadsheet, but with version-control on each item of data, and better input validation/selection. It also does basic graphs. It's aimed as a replacement for all those situations where people use a spreadsheet to record basic lists of data. Andy

Well yes, it's not /actually/ on CPAN yet. I was thinking I could talk about the Email::Signature module I asked about on here a while ago: https://github.com/ctrlo/libemail-signature-perl The story is that I created it as a result of a user requirement of a company I'm doing some work for: because I've released it as open source, the company is not tied-into some bespoke proprietary software. But I don't need to explain the beauty of open-source software to you lot as you already know, which is why I wasn't sure whether it's an appropriate talk for LPW... Andy
