2008 Winter Scripting Games
use Perl - 2008-02-19 21:37:09 |
Microsoft is running the 3rd annual Scripting Games competition, and this year they added a Perl division alongside VBScript and Windows PowerShell: The games have already begun on Friday, but the deadline for the first 2 events isn't until Wednesday morning, so it is not too late to enter and get a perfect score! All Perl entries will be judged by running them with ActivePerl 5.10.0.1002, so you can start using all the new 5.10 features if you want. The competitors pack is a self-extracting ZIP file containing additional data files needed for some challenges. It is provided as an .exe file (probably so it could be digitally signed), but you can unpack it with normal "unzip" too (this is just a subtle hint that the actual challenges are not platform specific; you just need to remember to prefix the path to any of the data files with C:/Scripts/ before you submit your scripts). I'll be providing sample solutions and a running commentary for the Advanced Perl Division to the scripting guys at Microsoft, who will publish them from each events page after the deadline. So let's show them that there are a sufficient number of Perl users that it is worthwhile keeping a Perl division in the Scripting Games for the upcoming years! :) BTW, you also have a chance to win a Perl Dev Kit license if you enter the contest for at least a single event!Read more of this story at use Perl.

Microsoft to Give Away Developer Tools to Students
Slashdot: Developers - 2008-02-19 21:37:08 |
beuges writes "The Associated Press is reporting that Microsoft will make full versions of their development tools available to students. "The Redmond-based software maker said late Monday it will let students download Visual Studio Professional Edition, a software development environment; Expression Studio, which includes graphic design and Web site and hybrid Web-desktop programming tools; and XNA Game Studio 2.0, a video game development program. Gates said students will want to try Microsoft's tools because they're more powerful than the open-source combination of Linux-based operating systems, the Apache Web server, the MySQL database and the PHP scripting language used to make complex Web sites. But Gates said giving away Microsoft software isn't intended to turn students against open source software entirely. Rather, he hopes it will just add one more tool to their belt.""Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Where Are Tomorrow's Embedded Developers?
Slashdot: Developers - 2008-02-19 21:37:08 |
An anonymous reader writes "In a similar vein to the previous discussion about the New York professors taking Java to task for damaging Computer Science education, Mike Anderson of the PTR group wonders why it's so hard to find good embedded developers these days. 'As for today's CS programs, it seems that long gone are the computer architecture classes, writing code in assembly language (or even C at this point) and engineering software economics. In fact, a large number of CS majors apparently believe that everything can be implemented in a virtual machine and that both memory and [CPU] cycles are infinite.'"Read more of this story at Slashdot.

You Used Perl to Write WHAT?!

Esther Schindler writes "Developers spend a lot of time telling managers, 'Let me use the tool that's appropriate for the job' (cue the '...everything looks like a nail' meme here). But rarely do we enumerate when a language is the right one for a particular job, and when it's a very, very wrong choice. James Turner, writing for CIO.com, identifies five tasks for which perl is ideally suited, and four that... well, really, shouldn't you choose something else? This is the first article in a series that will examine what each language is good at, and for which tasks it's just plain dumb. Another article is coming RSN about JavaScript, and yet another for PHP... with more promised, should these first articles do well."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Followup On Java As "Damaging" To Students

There was substantial feedback and the mailbox of one of the authors, Prof Dewar, also has been filled with mainly positive responses. In this followup to the article, Prof. Dewar clarifies his position on Java. In his view the core of the problem is universities 'dumbing down programs, hoping to make them more accessible and popular. Aspects of curriculum that are too demanding, or perceived as tedious, are downplayed in favor of simplified material that attracts a larger enrollment.'"Read more of this story at Slashdot.

perl6 and Parrot 0.5.2 Released

mAriuZ writes "Bob Rogers just released Parrot 0.5.2. This monthly release includes a couple of interesting new features. First, we've bundled Patrick Michaud's Rakudo (thats the implementation of Perl 6 on Parrot) such that you can type make perl6 on Unixy platforms and make perl6.exe on Windows and get a working standalone Perl 6 binary. This is experimental and we hope to iron out some installation and deployment issues by next months release, but it was important to demonstrate our progress. The second new feature is a toolkit for starting your own compiler. Max Mohun built a prototype several months ago, and we've added a stripped-down version for now that builds the skeleton of a compiler for you using the Parrot Compiler Tools. I mentioned the LOLCODE compiler in What the Perl 6 and Parrot Hackers Did on Their Christmas Vacation; this is how Simon and Company were able to get LOLCODE up and running so quickly."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Greasemonkeying dependencies
use Perl - 2008-01-30 19:35:11 |
Escalation wars... you just have to love'em. First, David came up with the über-cool CPAN deps page. Then Andy comes up with a nifty Greasemonkey script to add it to the CPAN distributions main pages. Then I add a small patch to the script to retrieve some information from the Deps page. Then David creates an xml interface to CPAN deps, opening the door wide open for Web 2.0 goodiness. Then (and this is where we are right now) I hack together a new CPAN_Dependencies monkeyscript to take advantage of said xml interface. This, of course, is nowhere near the end of the story. My new script only scratches the surface of what can be done with the information contained in the xml. As soon as I have some tuits, I'll probably add a way to toggle between showing only the first-level dependencies and all dependencies, and have dependencies color-coded by degree of b0rkage, and whatever bell or whistle I can think of in the meantime.Read more of this story at use Perl.

CHI: Cache Interface for Perl
use Perl - 2008-01-30 19:35:11 |
CHI, a module I've been working on for a few months, has made it to CPAN: file: $CPAN/authors/id/J/JS/JSWARTZ/CHI-0.03.tar.gz size: 62313 bytes md5: ec828f2466ba266e11cd6d1dd5ca2913 CHI provides a unified caching API, designed to assist a developer in persisting data for a specified period of time. It is intended as an evolution of DeWitt Clinton's Cache::Cache package, adhering to the basic Cache API but adding new features and addressing limitations in the Cache::Cache implementation. You might think of it as a fledgling "DBI for caching". Driver classes already exist for in-process memory, plain files, memory mapped files and memcached. Other drivers such as BerkeleyDB and DBI will be coming soon. Fortunately, implementing drivers is fairly easy, on the order of creating a TIE interface to your data store. Special thanks to the Hearst Digital Media group, where CHI was first designed and developed, for blessing the open source release of this code. There's lots more in store for this module, so stay tuned! Feedback welcome here or on the Perl cache mailing list.Read more of this story at use Perl.

chromatic writes "Larry Wall's State of the Onion 11 address is now online. Every year, he describes the state of Perl and its community through metaphor and analogy. This year, Larry explored the history of scripting languages, from their dimly-lit beginnings to their glorious future. Along the way, he also describes several of the design principles invoked in the design of Perl 6. 'When I was a RSTS programmer on a PDP-11, I certainly treated BASIC as a scripting language, at least in terms of rapid prototyping and process control. I'm sure it warped my brain forever. Perl's statement modifiers are straight out of BASIC/PLUS. It even had some cute sigils on the ends of its variables to distinguish string and integer from floating point. But you could do extreme programming. In fact, I had a college buddy I did pair programming with. We took a compiler writing class together and studied all that fancy stuff from the dragon book.'"Read more of this story at Slashdot.
