Erlangen.pm

This months meeting took place in the refurbished Trattoria Dolomiti.

We were eight perl mongers and had a special guest, Bernd Hendl. Bernd guest had nothing to do with actual Perl programming but he was searching for a new employer for some Perl web applications of his company.

Topics that came up this past meeting were:

• Version control systems; ranting about commercial VCS'
• Company policies regarding development tools
• Local Perl job market (spawned by Bernd's job offer)
• mod_python, and a weird bug that one of the mongers observed therein on a production machine
• higher order functions (like map and grep), their (non-)existance in various programming languages, and if higher abstractions make code harder to read or not

Note that often we don't settle on any topics in advance, but just let the discussion flow.

If you are in the Erlangen/Nuernberg area, don't hesitate to visit our monthly meetings, or contact us for extra meetings if your visit don't coincide with the third Monday of the month.
