Jim Keenan Double Header: A Taste of Taxonomies & a Perl 6 Install Fest
Details
Jim Keenan (https://metacpan.org/author/JKEENAN) of NY.pm will be presenting to us.
A Taste of Taxonomies
A taxonomy is a tree-like data structure in which each node can trace its origin back to a root node in a unique way. If you are presented with a data file in CSV format and are told that the data therein is a taxonomy, how can you verify that claim? This presentation will introduce basic taxonomic concepts and a CPAN library, Parse-Taxonomy, which provides methods to validate a taxonomy and to transform a taxonomy among various formats such as materialized path, adjacent list and nested sets.
Perl 6 Install Fest
Bring your laptop or whatever device you'd like to install Perl 6 on. As a group we'll work through the steps required to get up and running with Perl 6. This will be an excellent prepration for March's "Wow, Perl 6! (With Zoffix Znet)" https://www.meetup.com/Toronto-Perl-Mongers/events/228600742/
