Abstract:
Over the last few years there has been a move from traditional Version Control Systems (VCS) to Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS). One of the currently popular DVCSs today is git. It is best known as the DVCS used for the Linux kernel and has gained popularity due to the wildly successful GitHub site. Erik will explain how DVCSs improve upon the ideas of VCSs and explain many of the advanced tools and features specific to git.

Where:
4444 Forest Park Parkway
5th floor, room 5206
St. Louis, MO 63108 (Map)
Abstract:
When people think of Perl there are many things that come to mind -- but elegant, functional programming is often not one of them. However, this represents a gross misunderstanding of the abilities of Perl. Bill Odom will be introducing us to many functional programming concepts in Perl and providing us with the resources to continue from there.
