* hemanth has changed the topic to: PERL and RUBY OOP
<hemanth> So far we saw an overview of py OOP
* Laks (51625fc3@gateway/web/freenode/ip.81.98.95.195) has joined #p2pu-webcraft/scripting-101
<hemanth> Even though OOP is very vast 
<hemanth> we can get started easily 
<hemanth> by knowing the skeleton 
<hemanth> so with reference to yest, i will just give you an intro to how the same works in pl and rb
<hemanth> So first up is class declaration
<hemanth> class ClassName
<hemanth> end
<hemanth> in rb ^
<hemanth> class ClassName {
<hemanth>  
<hemanth> }
<hemanth> or class ClassName;
<hemanth> in pl^
<hemanth> pl6 is what i suggest for OOP
<hemanth> 2)0bject creation
<hemanth> new class_name(...) in pl
<hemanth> class_name.new(...) in rb
<hemanth> 3) Method invocation
<hemanth> object.method
<hemanth> object.method(param)
<hemanth> 4) Testing class membership
<hemanth> is_a? kind_of? in rb
<hemanth> isa in pl
<hemanth> 5) Inheritance
<hemanth> class child < parent end in rb
<hemanth> class child is parent { ... } in pl
<hemanth> seems fine and kool so far :) ?
<SourRust> yup
<Laks> yes
<hemanth> So, if one is not willing to do OOP with pl6
<hemanth> use package Color; instead of  class ClassName;
<hemanth> and method invoking must be done with "->" that is like object->method

<adamcollado> hellooo
<hemanth> If you all rembr, when dealing with variables in rb, i had mentioned about instance variables 
<hemanth> adamcollado, Halloween :)
<adamcollado> sorry for lateness =/
<adamcollado> yes
<adamcollado> fun time in new york :)
<Laks> we are one hour behind from today
* hemanth sends logs so far to adamcollado 
<hemanth> Halloween from CS grades http://i.imgur.com/AGj4n.jpg
<hemanth> :)
<hemanth> @var_name is rb is an instance variable 
<adamcollado> lol
<hemanth> :)
<adamcollado> thanks hemanth for the log

<hemanth> adamcollado, np :) trying to keep it as crisp as possible, as i learnt that this class likes crispness and all are smart enuf to get the fruit, if shown the root ;)
<adamcollado> yep :)
<hemanth> Similarly Class variables are accessed using the @@ operator 
<hemanth> @_@
<adamcollado> lol
<hemanth>  private :method_name in the class makes that method private 
<hemanth> that is those methods can be accessed by the instances alone and is not passed to the child 
<hemanth> Public is default accessibility level for class methods.

<hemanth> again in pl, we have @ISA = qw( Parent ); for inheritance and class child is parent { ... } in pl6
<hemanth> Simple example of class in rb:
<hemanth> class String
<hemanth>     def NullOrEmpty?
<hemanth>     (self == nil || self == "")
<hemanth>     end
<hemanth> end
<hemanth> puts "test".NullOrEmpty?
<hemanth> puts "".NullOrEmpty?
<hemanth> o/ ??
<SourRust> nope
<hemanth> in pl :
<hemanth> class Shape {
<hemanth>     has $.x is rw;
<hemanth>     has $.y is rw;
<hemanth>     method moveTo($newx, $newy) {
<hemanth>  $.x = $newx;
<hemanth>         $.y = $newy;
<hemanth>     }
<hemanth> }
<hemanth> pl6 ^
* laks has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
<hemanth> package MyClass;
<hemanth> sub new
<hemanth> {
<hemanth>    print "   MyClass::new called\n";
<hemanth>    my $type = shift;            # The package/type name
<hemanth>    my $self = {};               # Reference to empty hash
<hemanth>    return bless $self, $type;   
<hemanth> }
<hemanth> sub DESTROY
<hemanth> {
<hemanth>    print "   MyClass::DESTROY called\n";
<hemanth> }
<hemanth> new is the constructor and DESTROY is destructor 
* laks (51625fc3@gateway/web/freenode/ip.81.98.95.195) has joined #p2pu-webcraft/scripting-101
<hemanth> that is those sub's are called when the object is cerated and destroyed 
<hemanth> o/ ?
<laks> No
<SourRust> is $. like a this or self
<hemanth> yes :)
* PaBLoX (ba688ccc@gateway/web/freenode/ip.186.104.140.204) has joined #p2pu-webcraft/scripting-101
<SourRust> kk
<PaBLoX> Hi!
<PaBLoX> Sorry again ¬¬
<hemanth> PaBLoX, its ok
* hemanth sends logs to PaBLoX ¬¬
<hemanth> So in sub's of pl we can use the key word 'my' and the var-name to make them behave as instance vars
<hemanth> So this just gives a glimpse of pl and rb OOP, after yestd OOP and PY OOP intro 
<hemanth> So, there is no hurry, learn programming in a life time :) not in 14 days ;)
<hemanth> this class so far hopefully has given an overview of BASH,py,pl and rb 
<hemanth> it's just half step of the first step of coding 
<hemanth> All's fine so far..:)?
<hemanth> as been the most repeated line in this class 
<SourRust> yup
<PaBLoX> Yup
<laks> yes
<PaBLoX> I'm sorry I still can catch up with the files D:
<hemanth> as a whole, i have learnt many things from all of you 
<PaBLoX> *
<PaBLoX> *can't
<hemanth> learning and let learning is the Mantra 
<hemanth> its not the end, but the start 
<hemanth> PaBLoX, no issue, you have loads of time from now on 
<hemanth> SourRust, get the on time award 
<SourRust> xD
* hemanth sends chocolates to SourRust 
<hemanth> i really need to appreciate the way he has maintained the time

<PaBLoX> hemanth: following you on twitter
<hemanth> PaBLoX, :)
<hemanth> we are reshaping and redefining education 
<hemanth> i will be sending you all a simple feedback form, for the betterment of the future courses i would be running in P2PU, so please give your valuable time in filling them :)
<adamcollado> sure thing!!
<hemanth> So, now its your turn to say few words here :)
* hemanth rembrs the first day, where each of them introduced themselves :)
* hemanth is still as excited as the first class :D 
<adamcollado> It was kinda tough at first juggling 4 langauges at the same time, but I got use to it. I also learned how to use git pretty well! :D
<hemanth> adamcollado, nice :)
<hemanth> hemanth, is following PaBLoX on twitter 
<PaBLoX> hemanth: cool =)
<adamcollado> hemanth, i just started following you on twitter as well :)
<PaBLoX> Well, actually I still find hard to work with 4 languages at the same time
<PaBLoX> adamcollado: which is your twitter?
<adamcollado> datruth29
<PaBLoX> I'm going to create a list :)
<hemanth> SourRust, laks you guys there?
<hemanth> PaBLoX, was thinking the same :)!

<hemanth> i lately made a python irc bot, see the video here http://vimeo.com/16360222
<hemanth> laks, ok :)
<adamcollado> I enjoyed the looking at each other's code aspect in the github, especially the limpid code base :)
<hemanth> adamcollado,:)
<hemanth> limpid was a dream come true for me 
<hemanth> hoping to make it better with all ur helping hands 
<hemanth> hack more on p2pu => http://github.com/p2pu
<hemanth> So if no more o/ i will end this class here 
<hemanth> :)
<adamcollado> okay :)
