I had a pretty large turnout, which is surprising because it was a late Sunday afternoon talk. They were super-engaged. People must really want to learn AWK. I did a survey, and while most of them were familiar with AWK, less than a handful could write AWK from scratch.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_13120"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14992">Thanks
again for the great feedback on my AWK talk from January's meeting.
The most valuable feedback was to increase the font size and starting
out with a few sample AWK programs. <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14993"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14994"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14995"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14996">Here are the updated slides. <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14997"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14998"><a href="http://bit.ly/PracticalAWK" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14999">http://bit.ly/PracticalAWK</a><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15000"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15001"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15002"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15003">It's also linked on the SCALE talk page.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15004"><a href="https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/16x/presentations/practical-awk-awkwardly-dealing-data" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15005">https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/16x/presentations/practical-awk-awkwardly-dealing-data</a><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15006"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15007"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15083">The talk, via the livestream:</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15084"><a href="https://youtu.be/1FuhpyaGR0I?t=3h43m0s" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15085">https://youtu.be/1FuhpyaGR0I?t=3h43m0s</a></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15086"><a href="https://youtu.be/1FuhpyaGR0I?t=3h43m0s" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15087"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15088"></a></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15089">I received a lot of great questions and comments, and I remembered to repeat them for the camera about 95% of the time. The video came out pretty well with pretty good sound. In case anyone was wondering, the Mike I was responding to was Mike Weilgart, who gave that great Git Foundations talk back in late 2016.<br></div><br><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15277" dir="ltr">He's giving a talk at LOPSA LA called "Shell Basics: Under the Hood" on March 27th. <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15235" dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.meetup.com/lopsala/events/248096821/" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15238" class="">https://www.meetup.com/lopsala/events/248096821/</a><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15297"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15363">Lan<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_15362"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14966"><a href="https://youtu.be/1FuhpyaGR0I?t=3h43m0s" class="" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14884"></a><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14894"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520744674088_14949"><br></div></div></body></html>
