Most focus goes into the inner-workings of the module. Interface often takes a backseat and is addressed as an afterthought. This approach to interface design leads to horrible headaches.</p> <p>For Part 1 Chad will be introducing several module interface paradigms. This includes a brief review of OO, as well as simple exporters and declarative builders. Examples from common CPAN modules will be given.</p> <p>For Part 2 chad will take attendees through an exercise 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 implementation.</p> <p>As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/PortlandPerlMongers/portlandperlmongers.github.io/wiki/Meeting-2014-january">More information</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdx.pm.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
