Calling all text-wrangling enthusiasts, pattern-matching wizards, and curious coders! Join us for an electrifying evening of Regular Expressions, where we'll dive deep into the magical world of PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions).
π WHAT'S THE BUZZ?
Ever felt like you're speaking a secret language when you type \b\w+(?=\s+\w+\s+\w+\s+ago\b)? Well, you are! And we're here to make you fluent in it. Whether you're a regex rookie or a pattern pro, this meetup will level up your text-manipulation game.
ποΈ WHAT TO ECPECT:
- Regex Basics Bootcamp: Demystify those cryptic symbols and turn them into your loyal minions.
- Character Class Chaos: Learn to wrangle letters, numbers, and sneaky whitespace like a boss.
- Quantifier Quests: Master the art of "how many" with *, +, and their quirky cousins.
- Grouping Shenanigans: Discover the power of parentheses (no, not the grammatical kind).
- Lookaround Sorcery: Peek into the future (and past) of your text without time travel.
- Battle of the Patterns: Put your new skills to the test in our regex showdown!
π¦ WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:
- Gain superpowers to extract, validate, and manipulate text like never before.
- Impress your colleagues with one-liners that do the work of 100 lines of code.
- Learn to speak fluent regex and join the elite club of pattern-matching ninjas.
- Enjoy nerdy regex jokes that only 0.01% of the population will understand (and laugh at).
Don't let this opportunity slip through your \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4} pattern! Join us for an evening of learning, laughter, and mind-bending text manipulation. Remember, in the world of regex, you're only limited by your imagination (and occasionally, your sanity).
See you there, future regex rockstars! π
