*October* Next Meeting: 2nd Tuesday Oct 13 - Perl 6 is almost here <http://boston-pm.wikispaces.com/Calendar> Autumn Theme: Perl 6 for Xmas Tuesday October 13, 2015 7:30-9:30pm @ MIT E51-376 "Perl 6 - A Dynamic Language for Mere Mortals" *Author* - *Ovid* (Curtis Poe). *Abstract* This month Boston.pm presents a recorded talk by Ovid (Curtis Poe, noted Perl author/blogger/consultant) with live code examples prepared and demonstrated by Bill Ricker. Ovid describes his talk as, "Perl 6 <http://perl6.org/> is a great language, but sometimes the enthusiasts talk about the crazy, scary things you can do with it. In this talk, I discuss how easy it is to really use."
We'll have working examples in live Perl6 (Rakudo Perl 6 <http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/>), both copied from the main presentation to play with immediately on our screen, for kibitzing and tinkering, plus some other examples to try. Program notes: - Fall Theme: We're planning to have several Perl 6 <http://perl6.org/> talks this Fall/Winter, building up to the Perl 6 formal release at Christmas, including: - P6 Regex & Grammars - P6 Concurrency and Asynchrony - If you have any Perl 6 code to share, maybe as a mini talk before main talk, or as an intermission, if it fits with a scheduled p6 talk! - Anyone with things to talk about at future meetings contact Bill and/or Tom. We can fit short Perl 5 topics in too ! *Boilerplate details* - Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at MIT building E51, Sloan School Tang Center [not the other Tang building!] nearer to Kendall Sq than Mass Ave. (directions <http://boston-pm.wikispaces.com/MIT+Directions>). - Talk begins at 7:30. - Refreshments in the hallway prior. - RSVP for count encouraged but not required, to bill.n1...@gmail.com or Boston-PM list <http://boston-pm.wikispaces.com/Mailing+Lists>, by 4pm Tuesday. - (*NOTE: we're Staying in the wider room 376 second door, not the squarish 372 first door that we had some terms.)* -- Bill Ricker bill.n1...@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux
