Austin TX Perlmongers talk

Excuse me for posting something of local
interest, but in case anyone cares, I'll be
speaking to the Austin Perlmongers on
Wednesday April 17.

I know there are some Ruby types in Austin,
some of whom may not tabs on what the
Perl folks are doing.

All info below.

Cheers,
Hal Fulton

-----------------

When
====

The next APM meeting will be Wednesday April 17th, 2002, 6:30pm at
Tek Systems.  Tek Systems is catering dinner.

What
====

"Ruby for Perl Programmers"
  by Hal Fulton

This is an informal introduction to the language, starting by showing a
little of how it is and isn't like Perl. Some of Ruby's best features are
also showcased such as its object model, dynamic features, exception
mechanism, mixins, iterators, closures, and threads.

Where
=====

Tek Systems, on the North side of Austin and is conveniently located
close to 183.  Maxim Group is now called Tek Systems.  This is the
same location that we have been meeting for the last 18 months.

Drinking/Socializing
====================

AFTER the meeting, a small group will be going out to socialize.  We solve
problems, discuss technology and its ramifications, brag about our Linux
boxes, find jobs, tell horrible jokes, and listen to Mark try to convince
someone to accept the presidency of APM.  The group typically meets at
B.B. Rover's, which serves food and drinks.
