Boston.pm will have a tech meeting on Tuesday, April 10, at MIT, in building E51, room 376 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.
(Pizza announcement - see below!) Two great talks lined up for this meeting! Guillermo Roditi will a give talk entitled WebApps using Perl and Reaction. A showcase of the Reaction MVC system through an example application, Prefab. The Presentation will focus on harnessing emerging technologies (Moose, Catalyst, DBIx::Class) to create a smart framework that allows developers to quickly develop complex, security aware web-based applications. The talk will include no mention of Ajax or Web 2.0 type stuff, instead focusing on the technologies driving the server-side and the methodologies and design decisions behind them. Jason McIntosh will give a presentation on Volity. Volity is an open platform for online multiplayer games. Volity itself is a set of language-independent protocols based on Jabber, but much of its current implementation relies on Perl. There are also libraries on CPAN that let you create new Volity game parlors with Perl." Pizza announcement - by popular request, we're going to try the pizza from Emma's for this meeting, instead of the usual place (Cinderella's). I'm told that Emma's requires ordering a day in advance for large orders, so please get your RSVP to me by noon on Monday, April 9. Thanks! Also, if you're coming to the meeting and want to suggest a specific pizza, let me know, and I will consider it. http://www.emmaspizza.com/Menu.htm RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net.

Building E51 is right around the corner from the T stop. From the Inbound side, facing into Main Street, turn right (toward Boston) and walk down the block. Turn right on Wadsworth Street and walk to the corner of Amherst Street. Building E51 is the building across the street directly in front of you with the metal canopy. Directions by Car: General directions provided by MIT: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?section=directions The Boston Linux and Unix user group also meets at E51, so you may find their directions helpful as well (keeping in mind that we will be meeting in room 376, not room 315): http://www.blu.org/directions/mit/e51-315.php Parking Information: MIT's Amherst Street Lot is adjacent to the building: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=P4&Parking=go Officially, a sticker is required to park in the lot. However, we've been told unofficially that there is no enforcement after 3pm weekdays, nor on the weekends. Chances are very slim that cars will be ticketed. Nonetheless, parking in the lot is at your own risk. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm-announce mailing list Boston-pm-announce@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm-announce
