Google Tech Talks April 27, 2007 ABSTRACT Faith and evolution provide complementary--and sometimes conflicting--models of the world, and they also can model the adoption of programming languages. Adherents of competing paradigms, such as functional and object-oriented programming, often appear motivated by faith. Families of related languages, such as C, C++, Java, and C#, may arise from pressu...

Throughout the world many organisations use Perl extensively. Unfortunately, much of this "working" Perl code is really bad. Marty has seen a lot of awful Perl, and probably written a lot too. In this short talk Marty will explain how you too can produce terrible Perl -- the worst Perl code you possibly can. So please, DO NOT OBEY HIM!

Ruby isn't the only lightweight dynamic language that lets you build your own application-specific mini-language. Come explore a few little languages in Perl 5. We'll talk about why DSLs help make your code more readable and writable as well as some of the scarier tricks needed to make Perl do your bidding.

Google Tech Talks April 26, 2007 ABSTRACT Guice is a new open-source dependency-injection framework for Java 5.

Google Tech Talks April 19, 2007 ABSTRACT Release management can be quite challenging in free software projects since the work of many distributed developers needs to be finished at the same time so it can be integrated and tested for the next release. It is particularly challenging in free software projects which mainly consist of volunteers because there is little control over the work perfor...
