Most focus goes into the inner-workings of the m odule. Interface often takes a backseat and is addressed as an afterthou ght. This approach to interface design leads to horrible headaches. \ ;\n \;\nFor Part 1 Chad will be introducing several module interface paradigms. This includes a brief review of OO\, as well as simple export ers and declarative builders. Examples from common CPAN modules will be given. \;\n \;\nFor Part 2 chad will take attendees through an exe rcise in designing an API for an example module that is actually useful (and not simply a toy for the example). We will weigh the pros and cons of different interface possibilities as well as show a complete implemen tation. \;\n \;\nAs always\, the meeting will be followed by socia l hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub. \;\n \;\n[More information](http s://github.com/PortlandPerlMongers/portlandperlmongers.github.io/wiki/Me eting-2014-january)\n\nTags: perl\, pdx.pm\, pdxpm\n\nImported from: htt p://calagator.org/events/1250465416 URL:http://pdx.pm.org SUMMARY:Portland Perl Mongers - Module Interface/API design LOCATION:Free Geek: 1731 SE 10th Avenue\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
