Dancer advent calendar 2012 - help wanted!
Hi all, It's that time of year again - advent calendar time! I think it would be nice to continue the tradition and do an advent calendar again, and I'm happy to put in the work writing some articles and coordinating effort, so, let's do it! With that said, help would of course be greatly appreciated :) I have updated the README in the advent-calendar repo at: https://github.com/PerlDancer/advent-calendar I've added some article ideas there already; more ideas, and volunteers to write some of them, would be awesome. The advent calendars in previous years have been an interesting way to get extra attention for Dancer, and do pull in quite a few views. Analytics shows that they continue to receive views all year round, too. (To give an idea how many, from Jan 1st 2012 to present, 12,271 people visited the advent calendar site; 24,969 visits in total, with 43,510 pageviews, 47% being new visitors, with an average visit duration of 01:50, and average 1.74 pages per visit. That's some effective marketing, and well worth adding to, I think! :) ) Cheers Dave P -- David Precious ("bigpresh") <davidp@preshweb.co.uk> http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ www.preshweb.co.uk/twitter www.preshweb.co.uk/linkedin www.preshweb.co.uk/facebook www.preshweb.co.uk/cpan www.preshweb.co.uk/github
Nice going! I'll write one on the async trick we did at $work. On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 11:59 AM, David Precious <davidp@preshweb.co.uk>wrote:

One guy at the Austrian Perl Workshop asked me how async works with Dancer (he tried and failed), so he will be probably glad about this.

Asynchronous works great with Dancer. There just aren't a lot of hooks for asynchronous replies, but you can play with send_file which has access to the actual raw PSGI reply.

David, At the Duck Duck Go Quack and Hack. I tweaked your your post Dynamic AJAX charting with Dancer and Highcharts, http://advent.perldancer.org/2011/14, to read temperature from a multimeter and graph it. It was a 5 line tweak using Device::MAS345! I found that to be really great! We then reused that same tweak to show real time temperature of DDG headquarters. https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/blob/master/lib/DDG/Spice/... An example of the DDG plugin without my multimeter showing realtime can be found on my linode here http://66.175.223.162:5000/?q=temperature+at+duckduckgo The ease of taking your Hightcharts post and tweaking it to graph temperature then reuse that in a DDG plugin is in my mind worth talking about. Maybe that is a standalone post or maybe it could compliment another one. Thanks for doing this. Robert

That's awesome to hear!

Yeah, that could make an interesting post, I think! Would you have the time to write such a post? -- David Precious ("bigpresh") <davidp@preshweb.co.uk> http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ www.preshweb.co.uk/twitter www.preshweb.co.uk/linkedin www.preshweb.co.uk/facebook www.preshweb.co.uk/cpan www.preshweb.co.uk/github

Natal, Are you saying you would like to write it or you would like to see it? Because I would very much welcome a collaborator. Robert
I recently looked at the old advent calendar post where sukria explained his reasons for writing Dancer 2 (D2). I remember it got me interested when it came out. But today I am missing a concise text explaining why I should use D2 a) basic design decisions for D2 (why Moo and what are the advantages) b) reasons why someone should switch from D1 to D2. I have the impression that it is not necessary for everyone right now and not in the near future. Right now it seems good if you have a big application. I might be wrong. I am just guessing. The old article also contains a lot of history that can be interesting if you're invovled in Dancer already, but can also be distracting from the more practical question. Probably only Alex can write this. I might be saying the obvious as usual. Anyways, I thought I say it anyways.
But... is Dancer2 already available? I haven't seen it on CPAN yet, so this might mean that it is not really ready. Or am I wrong? --Octavian ----- Original Message ----- From: Maurice Mengel To: Perl Dancer users mailing list Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2012 8:58 PM Subject: Re: [dancer-users] Dancer advent calendar 2012 - help wanted!

It is ready! I'm using it at work for a "real-life" project and it goes very well so far. I'm going to push the first DEV release to CPAN very soon. Probably at the same time of the article about Dancer2, why not? :) 2012/11/26 Octavian Rasnita <orasnita@gmail.com>

Also I would be very excited to see someone write a Firmata Test Program in Dancer. The world needs a good web based Firmata Test Program and it should be in Dancer :) http://www.firmata.org/wiki/Main_Page Robert

If I had an Arduino I'd be inclined to hook it up to control a light or something with a Dancer-based control page and a webcam stream to see the real-world effects of interacting with it, just for the fun :)
