Subject: Perl Seminar Tuesday Feb 16: bring your laptops for workshop session
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 08:07:48 -0500

Perl Seminar New York
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
6:15-8:15 pm
NYPC User Group
481 8 Ave, Suite 550
(between West 34 & 35 Sts, Manhattan)


We'll have one of our "workshop" or "lab programming"
sessions. BRING YOUR LAPTOPS!

Topic: 'minicpan' and 'visitcpan': We will be hacking on these
tools originally created by Randal Schwartz and David Golden to add
new functionality.

Full details of what we'll be doing are here: http://
tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/perlsemny/message/948
Also check out that site (or join the perlsemny group for mail) on
additions to the agenda.

Preparation:

To get the most out of this workshop session, you need to prepare
your laptop. You will need:

1. A laptop with wireless Internet access.

2. On that laptop -- or on a server to which you can connect from
your laptop -- you should have already installed:
a. CPAN::Mini (see above)
b. App::CPAN::Mini::Visit (see above)
c. A 'git' client

3. If possible, and if you have the space on your laptop or server,
install a 'minicpan' following the instructions in CPAN::Mini.
Note: The original installation of a minicpan takes several hours.
You probably should set it up and let it run overnight. Subsequent
refreshes run very fast. But try to do the original minicpan install
at least a day before next Tuesday.


What You Will Gain from this Workshop

1. A 'minicpan' repository on disc.
2. Familiarity with useful tool 'visitcpan'.
3. A peek inside the minds of Randal, Ricardo and David.
4. Better appreciation of the joys of face-to-face hacking (F2FH).
5. Greater fluency with use of 'git' in collaborative software
development.

If you can't bring a laptop to this meeting, please come anyway so
that you can contribute to a team's work.

Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
