Fun with RapidApp by VANSTYN

Special guest Henry Van Styn will join us On-Air (https://plus.google.com/events/c3j768mo44ncli2aae2l9jikgcc) for a personal tour of his amazing web application toolkit RapidApp (http://www.rapidapp.info/).

RapidApp is an extension to Catalyst (http://www.catalystframework.org/) - the Perl MVC framework. It provides a feature-rich extended development stack, as well as easy access to common out-of-the-box application paradigms, such as powerful CRUD-based front-ends for DBIx::Class (http://www.dbix-class.org/index.html) models, user access and authorization, RESTful URL navigation schemes, pure Ajax interfaces with no browser page loads, templating engine with front-side CMS features, declarative configuration layers, and more.

We'll start with pizza and drinks around 6:30pm and then go live with Henry around 7pm.
