Re: Recommended IDE...?
I liked the talk from Paul Johnson at last London Perl Workshop, (A Productivity Enhancing Perl Environment), and currently I'm using a very similar vim configuration http://pjcj.net/presentations/lpw-2013-environment/slides/ On 17 January 2014 10:50, James Laver james.la...@gmail.com wrote: On 17 Jan 2014, at 10:18, Andrew london...@unitedgames.co.uk wrote: Looking to try using an Integrated Development Environment.

If you’re writing Perl, I don’t think you need anything other than a text editor. Komodo IDE has a lovely interface for debugging though. My emacs configuration is quite IDE-like in many respects. I expect many people have VIM configs that do more for you as well. In terms of actual IDEs, the standard is eclipse, I prefer Komodo. It really is intensely personal. Try a few.

Re: Robot Turtles — Let's Do This
Hi, I'm in. • I live in Leeds, so you may also have to pay some UK postage costs for me to get your copy to you. I'm happy to hand over Robot Turtles in person if we can find a mutually convenient location (we're fairly likely to be visiting friends in London, Lancaster, Truro, and Edinburgh at some point). I live in Northwich, Cheshire, so this also applies to me.

If we reach 9 copies, I'll place the order for 10. If the Kickstarter deadline is near and it doesn't look likely we'll reach 9, I'll order a 3-pack for me and the first 2 other committed orders. • You're committing to transfer me our best estimate of the cost at the end of the Kickstarter campaign. Kickstarter will charge my card at that point, not when the Robot Turtles arrive. • If you want more than 1 copy, please make that clear in your email. How's that sound?

Re: new Perl project / startup - Need advice
Hi Peirre, have you read the blogs Ovid has about startups? http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/2013/07/perl-startups-lacuna-expanse.html http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/2013/07/perl-startups-lokkunestoria.html Good luck with your new project. drebolo On 22 July 2013 15:39, Pierre M piema...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Mongers, we're starting a project in autumn with a non-programmer friend. He's got the ideas, the clients-base and the money. I have the time, a pretty clear idea of what he wants, and the mathematical + programming skills. I'm thinking of using Dancer2. I'd like to speak with someone who has some experience with setting up startups. I've got very varied questions to ask, and it would be much easier for me to speak about it rather than write. Any volunteer for a chat? Before or after the technical meeting on Thursday would be perfect, but i could do another day too. Cheers :-) Pierre, aka mascip -- Dinis Rebolo dinisreb...@gmail.com
