It is possible that some OxLUG people will be interested in this week's wonderful CompSoc talk. You're all more than welcome, and it's free.
DBIx::Class and Catalyst ========================
Wednesday, 16th May 20:30 Denis Sciama Lecture Theatre, Denys Wilkinson Building, Keble Rd. [0]
Matt Trout will come and give us a run-down of tips, tricks and available modules that serve to make Catalyst [1] internationalisable, localisable, capable of dealing with a wide variety of domain models and templating systems.
Topics covered include: - URI mapping flexibility - Supported environments - Models - Views - Authentication stores - UTF8 and internationalisation - Javascript - Mad plugin foo (laundry list)
There will be someone outside the DWB to let you into the talk; if you have never been before, it's up the large concrete steps at the end of Keble Road, and round the corner.
For those who can't be bothered to use links, Catalyst is a web development framework, implementing such acronyms as MVC and ORM, and is written in Perl. Come along to see shiny examples demonstrating just how nice web application development has become.
