While this application is just a novelty, the possibilities it demonstrates are exciting. http://www.madmongers.org/talks/parfusepdf Thu, 20 Dec 2007 20:53:09 -0600 http://www.madmongers.org/talks/logging JT gave this presentation on logging and Log4Perl at the November 2007 meeting of MadMongers. http://www.madmongers.org/talks/logging Sat, 10 Nov 2007 17:19:16 -0600 http://www.madmongers.org/talks/perl-for-sysadmins How to use Perl to admin your servers. http://www.madmongers.org/talks/perl-for-sysadmins Thu, 13 Sep 2007 20:24:12 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/talks/quick-and-dirty-perl All the Perl you can do on the command line. http://www.madmongers.org/talks/quick-and-dirty-perl Mon, 16 Jul 2007 11:00:43 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/lightning-talks A quicker look at Inside Out Objects, Writing Network Daemons, Perl 5.10 Regular Expressions, and Net::LDAP. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/lightning-talks Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:46:39 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/11-cpan-modules A summary of 11 of the most useful CPAN modules. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/11-cpan-modules Thu, 14 Jun 2007 15:52:17 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/what-is-webgui An introduction to the WebGUI Content Engine http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/what-is-webgui Thu, 14 Jun 2007 15:08:58 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/software-development This talk, given on March 14th explores new ways to approach a traditional software architecture. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/software-development Mon, 16 Apr 2007 11:54:10 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/perlcritic Chris Dolan and Andy Lester present the Perl::Critic source code analyzer. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/perlcritic Wed, 06 Dec 2006 22:46:49 -0600 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/perl-refresher This presentation, given in September, is a refresher course which details how to write basic code in Perl. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/perl-refresher Wed, 04 Oct 2006 20:34:40 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/get-out-of-technical-debt-/-andy-lester Technical debt is more than not commenting code - it's everything about your project that causes risk and increases cost to your project. Learn about several ways to identify and remove technical debt from your projects. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/get-out-of-technical-debt-/-andy-lester Wed, 04 Oct 2006 20:31:23 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/shrinkwrap-software-development-with-perl-par-and-soap http://www.chrisdolan.net/yapcna2006/shrinkwrap.html Until recently, Perl has experienced a deployment problem getting applications in front of novice end users on platforms where Perl is not bundled, like Microsoft Windows. Now, the invention of the PAR file format and software infrastructure has made it easy to ship software with a bundled Perl interpreter. This saves the user the barrier step of installing Perl and worrying about which version of Perl may be previously installed. In this presentation, I will demonstrate using PAR to create standalone, installable applications. I will discuss a few of the gotchas with the current implementation and their solutions. Furthermore, I will demonstrate a technique for using SOAP to let the Perl application be a backend engine to a frontend GUI written in Flash to allow for a highly modular system with a customizable look. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/shrinkwrap-software-development-with-perl-par-and-soap Wed, 06 Sep 2006 19:42:51 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/how-perlcritic-facilitates-code-best-practices http://www.chrisdolan.net/yapcna2006/perlcritic.html Damian Conway's book "Perl Best Practices" has sparked a revolution in coding style among CPAN developers. Even before that book, many of those developers have wanted a way to judge whether their code conforms with a selection of best practices, hence modules like Perl::Tidy, B::Lint and even "use strict". Perl::Critic is a new module which strives to be a powerful and flexible tool to judge code against a user-selected array of "Policy" modules. Example policies include "CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs" and "TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict". As of v0.15, we have implemented 70 policies, most of which derive from the 256 recommendations made by Conway. The API uses Module::Pluggable to enable third-parties to easily add more policies. A separate Test::Perl::Critic module makes it easy to confirm that your code is still in compliance with your established policies. In this presentation, I will present Perl::Critic's features and demonstrate how you can start using it against your own code. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/how-perlcritic-facilitates-code-best-practices Wed, 06 Sep 2006 19:40:34 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/writing-a-workflow-engine-using-poe-and-mod_perl I did this talk at YAPC 2006, and is an architecture talk about writing an asychronous workflow engine. http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/writing-a-workflow-engine-using-poe-and-mod_perl Tue, 27 Jun 2006 12:50:36 -0500 http://www.madmongers.org/home/presentations/presentations/running-a-giant-perl-project This is a talk I did at YAPC 2006.
