Sean Blanton will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:
Perl has proven itself in our start-up trading strategy in many different areas: system and application administration, networking, data collection, reporting, website and recently analytics with PDL.
For every task, we have evaluated the best tool for the job and decided on Perl because of the wide variety of available **tested** modules, and the ability to share code for very different tasks. Perl’s close relationship with C is a big plus. A set of…
I've talked about
Marpa
as an alternative to other parsers.
In this one,
I want to talk
about Marpa as an alternative
for problems where
parsing has been avoided.
Because parsing HAS been avoided in the past.
And for good reason.
If you were drawn by the allure of domain-specific languages,
or yielded to the siren call of language-oriented programming,
you plunged headlong toward two pitfalls:
- Your parser might not parse your grammar.
Which you might discover at any point in incremental de…
Maxim Gregoriev will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:
There was a goal to deliver a web portal where US Department of Energy WAN users can easily find all network performance metrics and where they can share or get some advice from the networking “wizards”. The WAN monitoring bits of data are gathered from the mesh of decentralised multi-domain network monitoring web services called perfSONAR-PS. The project we will be talking about is called “E-Center” and it ?provides a higher level aggregation of …
An Unexpected Side-Effect.
I personally prefer to check incoming data once and ensure it meets a specific criteria then move on throughout various layers in the application stack with a level-of-certainty that the input is as it should be, ... sort've a set-it-and-forget-it point-of-view.
Prior to recent changes, the genera…
I have some news coming soon about Alien::Base but to avoid burnout, I’ve spent some time in the last few days playing with some things that are new to me. I enjoy doing this any time I’ve spent too much time on one project.
While I have spent some time using Mojolicious it has always been to hack together a quick UI for some code, rather than pulling out Tk. I never have really taken the time for pretty-fication, nor for any kind of interface logic.
I have a friend who thinks highly of my programming abilities and has recommended me to another of his friends to put together a website for a startup company. While I could put together a Joomla or Drupal site in no time, I thought I would investigate a Perl solution. I know that there are a few Perl CMSes out there (WebGUI 8 sounds interesting), but I wondered if I could hack something together myself.
Here’s the problem, I know Perl, thats about it. I don’t know much JavaScript, CSS or even HTML for that matter. Forget about DOM, and I’m no graphic designer.
However, surprisingly, Mojolicious, along with Twitter’s Bootstrap for building page elements, has made this really easy. I don’t know if I can sell it to a client yet. But maybe by the next client, or the one after that, I can offer a website as a Perl/Mojolicious/Bootstrap/PSGI app!
I love open source!
Just for the record, i (Mark Leighton Fisher) did not write "Spring Integration in Action". And the Mark Fisher who wrote "Spring Integration in Action" does not work at Regenstrief Institute and doesn't maintain the Perl Module Tools suite pmtools.
(Funnily enough, I have used Spring.NET, though...)

Although YAPC::Europe::2012 preparations are well underway in Frankfurt,
to think about the location of the 2013 conference. YAPC::Europe
wouldn't exist without dedicated teams of volunteers, and we are always
excited to see the enthusiasm and learn about the new ideas the
community has to offer.
Further information about preparing a complete application can be
found at http://www.yapceurope.org/organizers/index.html .
Proposals submitted to the venue committee will be ad…
Ingy d?t Net?will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:
Stackato is a private/personal PaaS solution from ActiveState. Get all the simplicity of deploying your favorite Perl (and many others) apps, like you get from DotCloud or Heroku. The difference is you can host it anywhere you want, from your laptop to Amazon EC2. It’s your software, and its free.
In this talk Ingy d?t Net will get everyone in the audience up and running their favorite Perl web apps on their own private PaaS in minutes. Fun!
