LinuxMovies.org Reservations

Wednesday, March 1, 2006 7pm to 9pm "Perl and GraphicsMagick" Perl is one of the most popular programming languages for studio production pipelines. It's used as glue code to integrate separate proprietary and commercial programs. GraphicsMagick seems similar to ImageMagick but has superior support for studio image file formats such as DPX. LinuxMovies.org founder Robin Rowe presents how to write simple Perl scripts with GraphicsMagick to automate file conversion tasks. Some other Perl code he'll demonstrate includes DNS server configuration and extraction of contact info from Mozilla email files. The Perl scripts shown will have more of a C/C++ or Java style than usual, a time-saver when switching regularly between these languages.
