Perl 6 Informal Study Session

This is an informal series of study sessions focused on Perl 6 (aka Rakudo), a break from the past of Perl 5 and one of the contenders for language of the future.

For the May 20th meeting: try to take a look at Chapter 3 of the Lenz book, "Perl 6 Fundamentals".

Let's get together for a few hours on Sunday afternoons over at the Oakland Museum cafe, and start messing around with Perl 6.

This is a relatively unstructured gathering focusing on chatting and shoulder-surfing, without a lot of planned presentations-- though if you've got something you'd like to show off, by all means bring it with you.

The plan though is to gradually work our way through the Moritz Lenz book, "Perl 6 Fundamentals". You can get a printed copy from Apress-- they also sell an ebook version, and I've also seen a free pdf elsewhere, (though I haven't verified if that's legitimate): https://www.apress.com/us/book/9781484228982

There's free wifi at the cafe, but you'll probably want to install Perl 6 before hand: https://perl6.org/downloads/

I also like having a saved copy of the documentation (converted into a single giant web page): https://docs.perl6.org/perl6.html
