Next Tel Aviv Perl Mongers meeting 29th June

[Gabor Szabo]

Hi,

the next meeting of the Tel Aviv Perl Mongers http://telaviv.pm.org/
will take place on 29th June in the
Shenkar College, Anna Franck 12, Ramat Gan, room 323.

We get together at 6:30pm, and talks begin at 7:00pm.

The schedule is as follows:


Scraping A Cookbook by ynon perek
============================
I recently got a chance to convert a live web site
(http://www.anonymous.org.il) into an iPhone app. The process involved
deciding which parts will go into the app, how it will look, and
scraping the content to an SQLite db that was to be deployed on the
iPhone (along with an app).
In the talk, I will present some of the perls I used to get/convert
the textual and image data, and use them to talk about XPath, DOM and
SAX for digging the "right" data.

Duration: 40 minutes

#myjourneytoperl - graphing a meme by Dotan Dimet
========================================
Agenda: on March 30th, at the urging of Matt Trout, perl people on
Twitter posted text graphs showing their path to Perl from and through
other programming languages. Inspired by the directed graph format used,
I decided to capture these posts and combine them into a single giant
graph which I would render using the graphviz toolkit. I'll talk about
the tools I used (mojolicious, GraphViz, the twitter JSON api), the
problems I encountered (Unicode!) and the snapshot of the Perl community
that emerged.

Duration: 15 minutes


Writing a blog engine in 15 minutes by Gabor Szabo
======================================
It will be especially easy for people who are using Windows as they can
download a single package that have everything they need.
We will create a Dancer based web application and then allow a single
user to create blog posts.

Duration: 15 minutes
