Hi there
you might recall I write about Perl on the Perl Maven site and about everything else on the Code Maven site. In order to serve you better I'd like to know what are the 3 most important languages to you? So I have a one-question survey asking just that. I'd be happy if you filled it out and as a thank-you note if you fill it out you'll get a coupon to buy my Git eBook at a very deep discount.
Oh and there are plenty of good articles in this newsletter :)
Enjoy your week!

I am not sure who reported it that students for whom English is not the mother tongue have harder time understanding and using 'until' and 'unless' than those who were born in an English-language country.

This guide goes over setting up a simple HD Tree, drafting a P2SH transaction, and running an SPV client. - I guess this is only for people who already understand this vocabulary.

Perl can have functions creating functions that can wrap other functions. Decorators is the name used in Python where it also has some syntactic sugar. In this article you'll see Memoization and logging for any function.

Testing

AppVeyor is cloud-based Continuous Integration service running on MS Windows. You can easily hook up your CPAN module or other Perl-based application to test it on Windows. A Lot less excuses for not supporting Windows.

Cygwin is a special source of Yak Shaving with all kinds of questions one need to answer. I wonder, could AppVeyor be used to test CPAN modules on Cygwin?

Calling all science enthusiasts! Perhaps you studied Chemistry at university but then found yourself pulled towards software development instead when you entered the world of work? Or maybe you did a dissertation or early internship in bioinformatics and have always wanted to get back into the sciences? This interesting role sits at the junction of science and software development, and is a great opportunity for a Perl developer to rediscover his or her passion for the natural sciences.
