Accepting Payments on the Web

Tags:

This month, Noel Rappin will be talking about accepting payments on the web:

Your customers have money, and you’d like them to give it to you. Payment gateways, such as Stripe, Braintree, and Paypal, make it easy to start charging credit cards and get the money flowing. But charging cards is only the beginning. You need to worry that your app responds gracefully to service failures, since charging a customer for a failed transaction is bad. You need to guard against fraud and security breaches. You need administrative tools that are flexible but secure. You want to test against external services. And you’ll run up against the law. Learn from some of my mistakes and build a robust financial application.

Noel Rappin is the Director of Development at [Table XI]. Noel has authored multiple technical books, including "Rails 4 Test Prescriptions", "Trust-Driven Development", and the forthcoming "Take My Money: Accepting Payments on the Web".

Perl Development Environment

Tags:

This month, Jason Crome will be giving a talk on Perl development environment tooling like perlbrew, plenv, and Carton. These tools help to manage different Perl versions, different module versions, and help to isolate your development environments to help make dependency version problems manageable.

Bring your questions and your own experiences with maintaining a Perl development environment.

RSVP on the Chicago.PM Meetup
