The meeting will take place at Tel Aviv University, at the Schreiber Maths&CS 
building, room 008 on 18:30. So mark your calendars. More information can

Abstract:
---------

Some programming habits should be avoided at all costs; some should be 
considered with care and some are just divine. Red flags tell us what to try 
and avoid and what to inspect more closely. They are a sign of code that might 
become problematic or straightforwardly dangerous. The talk will be Perl-
oriented (with Perl examples) but the programming practices are generic and 
can be applied to most programming languages, so if you program in Ruby, 
Python, PHP or other languages, this talks to you as well.

Hopefully by the time we're done, you'll be able to write cleaner, more 
maintainable, less error-prone, and better code. If not, your money back 
guarantee! 
----------

We are always looking for presentations on interesting topics. If you have an 
interesting idea for a talk, feel free to contact us and we'll co-ordinate a 
date.

Regards,
