A search function migh t\nlocate ten thousand matches. A database query might return ten million\ nrecords. What can you do?\n\nPerl provides a simple and familiar model fo r dealing with such\nproblems: The filehandle! Instead of reading every f ile in one giant\ngulp\, we can use filehandles to staunch the flow of inf ormation\,\ntrickling it into the program in manageable gulps.\n\nIn this class\, we'll see several important modules\, such as File::Find\nand DBI\ , which use this approach. We'll go inside these modules and\nsee how to i mplement filehandle-like data structures and objects\nourselves. We'll see how to write functions that suspend themselves\nand then pick up later wh ere they left off. We'll learn how to take\nlong-running slow functions an d convert them into speedy\nfilehandle-like data generator objects.\n\nThi s fundamental technique is a mainstay of programmers in other\nlanguages\, but isn't as well-known as it should be. You'll be amazed\nat how many di fficult problems become simple when you unleash the\npower of filehandles. \n\nOutline\n\n Introduction: \n Filehandles are Iterators \n Iterators are Objects \n Common Examples of Iterators: rea ddir\, each\, and DBI \n Homemade iterators \n Examples: \n File tree scanning \n Permutations \n Genomic Sequence Generator \n Filehandle Iterators \n A Flat-File Database \n Searching Databases Backwards \n Random Number Generation \n Alternatives to Iterators \n Filters and Transforms: map and grep for iterators \n Recursive ly-Constructed Iterators \n The Semipredicate Problem \n Alternati ve Interfaces to Iterators: Tied scalars and handles \n An Extended Ex ample: Web Spiders \n\n\n DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030723T121500 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030723T091500 LOCATION:O'Reilly ORGANIZER:Mark Jason Dominus SUMMARY:Programing with iterators and generators UID:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/320 URL:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/320 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT COMMENT:0 attendees DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis class will explore Perl's most unusual features. We'l l look at\nsome of the standard modules written by famous wizards like Tom \nChristiansen\, Damian Conway\, and Larry Wall\, and learn what they're\n for and how they work.\n\nFirst we'll investigate Perl's remarkable 'glob' feature. We'll see\nmany uses of globs\, including the 'Exporter' module \, which everyone\nuses but hardly anyone understands. We'll discuss how to accomplish\nthe same globby magic in Perl 6\, which won't have globs.\n \nAfter this we'll look at unusual uses of Perl's 'tie' function\, which\n scoops the brain out of an ordinary Perl array\, hash\, or filehandle\,\nr eplacing it with your own concoction. We'll make hashes with\ncase-insens itive keys\, arrays that mirror the contents of a file\, and\nfilehandles that suppress annoying output.\n\nThen we'll learn about AUTOLOAD\, Perl's function of last resort.\nWe'll see a tremendously useful application: Ho w to generate the\naccessor methods of a class *without* writing pages of repetitive\ncode.

The following features can be viewed as extensions to the Tk::Can vas:\n - TkZinc can strongly structure the items in a hierarchy (with the use of group items)\,\n - TkZinc has support for affine 2D transforms (i .e. translation\, scaling\, and rotation)\,\n - TkZinc can clip sub-trees of the items hierarchy\,\n - the item set is quite more powerful includi ng field specific items for Air Traffic\n systems\n - TkZinc offers th e support of openGL rendering techniques such as anti-aliasing\,\n tran sparency\, colour gradients as well as the support of an openGL oriented item :\n triangles\n\nTkZinc makes it easy to use some OpenGL features for 2D Human Computer Interaction (HCI).\nFinally\, if needed\, it is als o possible to extend the item set through an additional\ndynamic library a nd the use of a C api.\n\nDuring the talk we will present the following fe atures :\n - ATC (or more generally radar-view) oriented items: track\, w aypoint and tabular are\n items combining both a zoomable part and non- zoomable textual part\n - The curve items implements both polylines and B ezier segments. Curves can have\n more than one contour and support dif ferent fill-rules\n - Group items and there usage for structuring an appl ication\, bundling items\, clipping\,\n and managing transformations\n - Extensions to the Tk::Canvas tag\, such as accessing item subparts (for track\, waypoint\n or tabular items)\, and pathTags to access subparts in the group hierarchy\n - Triangles items\, available only with openGL\ nWe will also do many demonstrations of some very smart applications appli ed either to Air\nTraffic Control HCI or to more general HCI.

And this is \nbecause of two main reasons: the amount of information\naddressed/proces sed\, and the heterogeneity of the databases (usually\,\nentity-relationsh ip databases) where information is stored.\n\nInitially\, statistical repo rts/graphics were generated using\nPerl. Each page was generated by a scri pt. Similar pages\, with\nslightly different characteristics were provide d by different\nscripts. In this way\, a significant number of redundant s cripts has\nbeen created in a relatively short time. The management of the se\nscripts has become a challenging task. Another important disadvantage\ nwas the time required between sending a request and visualizing the\nresu lt (tens of seconds till minutes). A brilliant solution to these\nproblem s is the successful combination Apache-mod_perl. Simple\nqueries have bee n organized in "classes" of queries through a\nparameterization process. F urther\, various types of objects have been\ndefined: tables\, graphics\, maps\, objects specific to forms (lists\,\ncheck boxes\, etc.)\, pdfs\, et c. These objects include both query\nresults and formatting parameters. A query result can be visualized in\nvarious ways: as a table\, graphic\, or a pdf file. The result of a\nquery may be used as input for a new query. Integration of different\nparts implemented by different developers is eas ily performed\, too.\n\nEssentially\, this solution takes advantages of em bedding compiled Perl\ninto an Apache Web server. The developer has maxim um control of the\nrequests and responses. The results are visualized in f ew seconds. And\nlast\, but not least\, the developer can continue to use Perl. The talk\nwill focus on three aspects: the objects/concepts defined \, the\norganization and management of the solution described\, and some\n aspects related to the DBI.\n\n DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030724T144000 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030724T140000 LOCATION:ActiveState ORGANIZER:Marta Regge SUMMARY:Delivering statistics with DBI Apache/mod_perl UID:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/330 URL:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/330 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT COMMENT:0 attendees DESCRIPTION:\nThe last few years has seen a renewed interest in the process es of\nprogramming\, mainly caused by the rise in popularity of Extreme\nP rogramming and the Agile Methodologies.

New fe atures like unicode support and use of User::Identity\nare highlighted. S hown is how a text alternative can be added to an\nhtml-only message\, how to use SpamAssassin\, and simple ways to clean-up\nand convert existing f olders.\n\nThis tutorial is new.

The syntax of POD i s simple\nto learn\, and documenting a single package with POD is in reach of even\nthe worst programmers.\n\nHowever\, POD has serious limitations. You may argue about the common\nsyntax of POD\, but that's matter of tas te and outside the scope of this\ntalk. Real limitations of POD are:\n + visual in stead of logical markup\, so formatters can not be smart\n + no support for object orientation\n + copy-paste parts needed between package s within the same module\n\nAs author of a few large Object Oriented modul es\, I have hit the\nlimitations of POD too often. The usefulness and qua lity of the\ndocumentation is rapidly decreasing when the program grows. After two\nprivate implementations for a solution\, there now is a public release for\n"Object Oriented Documentation"\, named OODoc.\n\nOODoc adds logical markup to POD. When a distribution is created\, real\nPOD and HTM L can be produced from this extended POD. The connection is\nmade between "as simple as possible" for the developer of the code\, and\n"as browsabl e as possible" for the user of the module.\n\nThe basics of OODoc are expl ained by some examples\, as for instance\ncan be seen at http://perl.overm eer.net/oodoc/html/\n\n\n DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030725T145000 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030725T143000 LOCATION:O'Reilly ORGANIZER:Mark Overmeer SUMMARY:Object Oriented Documentation: Extending Pod to generate HTML UID:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/347 URL:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/347 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT COMMENT:0 attendees DESCRIPTION:\nSVG is an XML vocabulary which describes images on a canvas u sing the\nPainter's model (last entry on top\, first entry on bottom).\n\n That's great.

Binary data including reals (such as\nsatellite positi on and speed) are squeezed into a 250-bit CRC-protected\nmessage.

A base class Frame\nis presented which permits the dynamic definition of a c lass hierarchy\,\nextending the base class or any of its subclasses with a dditional fields or\ndefault values for individual fields\, or both.\n\nPa rt III shows how pack and unpack are used in the context of a package\nimp lementing the Telepath Short Message Peer to Peer Protocol used for\ncommu nication between applications and a Short Message Service Center. The\nreq uired set of messages is derived from a common abstract base class\nprovid ing a method for the simple definition of a message type. This results\nin a list of field names (which can then be used as accessors to field\nvalu es of a message object) and the template for pack and unpack used in the\n conversion between the binary message and the unpacked object.\n\n DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030725T140000 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030725T132000 LOCATION:Fotango ORGANIZER:Wolfgang Laun SUMMARY:Binary Messages UID:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/363 URL:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/363 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT COMMENT:0 attendees DESCRIPTION:\n\nI/O via STDIN\, STDOUT and STDERR is conceptually one-dimen sional and batch\noriented.

This talk does not focus on the technical asp ects of\ndifferent templating systems\, but instead looks at the different types\nof Web project that exist\, the different people who might be invo lved in\na Web project\, and how these things determine which templating s ystem\nyou should choose.\n\nIn short\, the templating system you should c hoose depends very much on\nthe project in hand.\n\nThe first part of this talk looks at how the scope of the project\naffects the templating system to choose. Some sites interface with\nsimple data structures stored in a relational database: others display\ncomplex structured content stored in XML.\n\nThe second part of this talk describes the different people who m ight\nmake up a project team\, the skills they might have\, and what they might\nlook for in a templating system. Such types of people may include: \n- Project managers\n- HTML developers\n- Graphic designers\n- Perl progr ammers\n- Systems administrators\n- Database developers and administrators \n- Content authors and editors\n- Experts in usability\, quality assuranc e\, information architecture and\n other areas\n\nFinally\, the talk comp ares four different templating systems\n(HTML::Template\, Mason\, Template Toolkit\, XSLT). Each system has\nparticular strengths that best suit di fferent types of project.\nDifferent groups of people with different skill s work best with\ndifferent templating systems.\n\n DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030724T162000 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030724T160000 LOCATION:ActiveState ORGANIZER:Tom Hukins SUMMARY:Choosing A Templating System For Your Web Project UID:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/378 URL:http://conferences.mongueurs.net/ye2003/talk/378 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT COMMENT:0 attendees DESCRIPTION:\n DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030724T182500 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20030724T180500 LOCATION:O'Reilly ORGANIZER:Tim Bunce SUMMARY:DBI - Any Questions?
