March 10th, 2004 6:30pm, the first Great Lightning Talk shall commence!

Times? 5, 10 or 15 minutes?

So, WhatIsALightningTalk?

Have you signed up? You should, now.

  • The private nature of DBI apparently-public hashes

    • by Jeff Zucker

    • Why does DBI allow you to do things like $dbh->{RaiseError}=1? Shouldn't it do that with an encapsulated, private method? Nope! Find out why.

    • DBI is made of people! PEOPLE!! <-- I didn't put this here, but I agree:-)

  • Simple privacy or My code has a shotgun http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/img/boomstick.jpg

    • by MichaelSchwern

    • Perl's philosophy on OO privacy is "it would prefer that you stayed out of its living room because you weren't invited, not because it has a shotgun." While this mostly works in practice, sometimes you need a shotgun. Unfortunately, many of the existing OO privacy modules in Perl (Class::Contract, Tie::SecureHash) are more like howitzers.

    • Two simple, efficient solutions to allow truly private methods and truly private object attributes. Along the way some annoyances of Perl inheritance will disappear.

    • 15 minutes.

  • This Parrot Plays Games

    • chromatic

    • Parrot, the VM for Perl 6, is an object oriented assembly language with an exceedingly rich vocabulary of primitives -- if "primitives" is the right word. What happens when you link it to a nice multimedia library such as SDL? How much code does it take to do something interesting?

    • This is a work in progress, but it's surprisingly advanced, even now.

    • Oops, I probably won't be in town for this. If I am, I'll talk, but don't count on it now. Many apologies.

  • Look Ma, Software

    • Austin Schutz

    • How do you get from all that junk in your head to coherent source code? This talk involves a 4 (or so) stage process to go from the idea stage to an object oriented software map.

    • This is also a WIP, and comments are welcome. This will require a white board, if anyone has one it would be swell if they could bring it and let me ([email protected]) know.

    • 15 minutes.

  • Pointer.pm

  • My first Perl-Tk program
