Hi All,
  The last couple of months have shot by... Meet time already :)

19th August, Bristol.

I haven't had chance to check out other potential venues. Last time I 
went to the Reckless engineer they were shutting early because it was 
too quiet, so I'm not sure if a small programming group would be enough 
for them to keep open.

So I think for this meet at least, it's best to go back to the 
Watershed, 7pm onwards. I'll remember to bring my 'Programming Perl' 
book so any new people can easily find us.

Hope to see everyone that came last time and it'd be good to see a few 
new faces ( I know there are a few of you on the list that planned to 
come to the previous ones and didn't make it).

With a bit of luck I'll have chance to put another lighting talk together.


Lyle

Go on - take an onion... ;-)

Hope to see you there (but still unsure ;-) )

Subject: [Bristolbathpm] First candidates have completed the B&BPM free Perl
	course
Message-ID: <48A2108F.5050306@cosmicperl.com>

Hi All,
  I'm happy to announce that we've had our first 3 candidates complete 
the free Perl course. All beginners to Perl. I managed to squeeze it 
into 2 days, 10-5. The idea of the course is to give people an 
introduction to Perl and give them the resources and knowledge they need 
to continue learning by themselves.

  All in all I think the course went smoothly and the candidates went 
away quite stimulated to learn more Perl, and able to see how it could 
help them in what they want to achieve.

  Following this experience I think it'll be good to have another 1 day 
top up and guidance course a month or so after the first course. Going 
trough it all has reminded me just how much there is to Perl, it's a lot 
to remember. I think it's best if people practice what they have learnt 
over the free 2 day course in their own time, rather than trying to 
teach more straight away. After all this is a course for absolute 
beginners and not programmers experienced in other languages.

  I know the students have now joined this list. If you'd like to 
introduce yourselves feel free ;)

Hi Everyone

Having took the free course comming from a finance background, with basic 
webpage writing skills, but no real programming experience, I was interested 
to learn how perl works. Following the course I now want to learn more as 
the language is very versitile and I can see how it can be used to create 
many different applications. The topics the course covered gave a really 
good introduction to the language and it was free.

Thank you Lyle

Gaz

Hello Everybody,

I would just like to thank Lyle for running the free perl course. As a front end web designer I have been looking at learning a scripting language, over the past couple of days I feel I have learnt alot of the basic concepts and syntax of perl. I just need to put in the practise (and I mean a hell of a lot of practise lol) and one day I may be able to write code as good as you guys.

Till that day arrives I know where to come for help and advice which will be truly appreciated.

Cheers, Phil

Hi Phil, Gaz,

Welcome to the fold.

Always nice to have fresh perspectives and new blood in a developer community.

Hiya,

    Just a quick note to say thanks to Lyle for the Perl course he provided last week. Unfortunately i was only available to attend the first day but considering i was the least experienced with programming and to be frank; computers in general i found his method of teaching was a great introduction to the world of programming. Considering I'm a dancer and the extension of my computer use past the Internet, is Microsoft word, I'm impressed at how he let me work at my own pace and aided me to write my first ever bit of code! 
        

    Highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn complicated computer talk.  

    Laura x

Hi all - last task of the afternoon overran horribly (still more to
do) so I'm not going to make the meet this evening.  Hope it goes well
and hope someone'll tell us poor list lurkers what happened!

Hi Alex,
  Wondered where you were. Funnily enough I had a killer headache last 
Monday and had to go to bed early. My brother had exactly the same 
yesterday. I'm sure it's a funny little bug going round, as at the same 
time I had what seemed like a cold trying to start, that never really 
went anywhere...

Hope you feel better tomorrow, see you at the next meet (that I WILL 
plan better :) )


Lyle

P.S. d-construct in Brighton looks interesting, shame I'll miss it :( 
Think you'll be interested in the new Perl Certified hosting list we're 
starting (Amias' idea). Perl hosts should have a standard to live up to. 
We are going to set it ;)

Hi MJ,
  Shame you couldn't make it, I know what it's like to think your about 
done then get caught on the last hurdle for hours...

What's happen(ed|ing):-
  A Belbin Plant/Creator debated with a Belbin Monitor/Evaluator over 
the possibilities and problems with a new kind of Certification.
  The idea of Perl Certified Hosting was discussed and led to some 
really good ideas.
  I talked about good Perl performance ideas and solutions for a change, 
rather than talking about mistakes I've made.
  Peter pointed out more advanced solutions to the performance ideas I 
presented :\
  Laura proved that one day of our free Perl course doesn't go far to 
understanding the conversation that usually goes at meets, lol :)
  There was a brush on t-shirsts, which I'll be bringing some prices to 
you soon...
  We got to see Pete's Perl 6 t-shirt which, in fairness made our 
t-shirt text ideas look bad.
  More... To be continued next meet ;)


Lyle
