Paws::DynamoDB::Response::Parser

[manwar]

Thank you for your interest in this year's Perl Advent Calendar.

🐪 Which Perl module do you want to write about:

https://metacpan.org/pod/Paws::DynamoDB::Response::Parser

I would like to talk about my latest creation which helped me understand the DynamoDB from the Perl perspective.

♥️ The calendar is a labour of love and it requires a lot of care and feeding. It cannot survive without content submissions, but it also cannot survive without article reviews. In order to keep the calendar's momentum sustainable, this year I'm asking authors if they would also be willing to review someone else's article. Reviewing/editing is not a complicated process, but it requires patience and kindness, as many of our authors are new to the calendar, new to Perl or even new to blogging. I have published some editing guidelines to follow. If this seems like something you could help with, I would be extremely grateful for it. You are not required to review an article, so if you're not inclined to be a reviewer, please don't let this dissuade you from submitting a proposal.

🙏 Are you willing to act a code reviewer for another article author?

• [ ] Yes
• [x] No
• [ ] I could possibly by convinced

Thanks for being the first @manwar! Looking forward to hearing about it.

For this sort of article, keep in mind that many the readers probably don't use AWS, Dynamo DB, or NoSQL. That's fine, but you can write it in such a way that they learn something about Perl even if they don't understand those parts.

For example, you may concentrate on one of:

• what storage situations make sense for NoSQL, or which Dynamo is one type
• a particular perl feature that made the task much easier
• how the structure and organization of the code allowed you to achieve the goal
• How PAWS fits in with the Amazon ecosystem so even if they don't care about Dynamo DB, they know there is an alternative (although you might also cover the official AWS SDKs and compare how PAWS keeps up).

Looking forward to seeing this article!

@briandfoy I will drop the idea instead write about something else, sorry :-(
