I have finally decided to start Peldi’s Coding Cafe (see this post for details).

It turns out Thursdays works best for me, 8:00am to 9:00am, Pacific Standard Time (that’s GMC -8 hours).

I can’t promise I’ll do it every thursday, but I’ll try. We’ll see how the first session goes…cross your fingers…

The title of the first session is "Building a Blog Comments Application with FlashCom and Perl". Sorry about the lame title…there’s a reason why I’m not in marketing…

In the session, we will build what’s described in this post, in real time (hopefully we’ll make it in one hour). You’ll have a chance to ask questions and download the source files at the end.

So, if you are interested in participating, pre-register by clicking here, and show up 5 minutes before the meeting starts on Thursday at this address:

The session will be recorded and I’ll post the link to the recording on this blog, in case you can’t make it.

Oh, and don’t forget your coffee!!!
