Dave Cross YAPC::Europe conference is being held in Pisa and, as in the previous couple of years, Magnum's owner Dave Cross will be presenting a training course in conjunction with the conference.

This will be a new course entitled "Introducing Modern Perl". It's a one-day course covering a number of the big new projects that have changed the way that Perl is used in many places. This includes the Template Toolkit, DBIx::Class, Moose, Catalyst and Plack. The course will be running on Monday 2nd August and the conference itself runs from the 4th to 6th.

The course costs € 180 and you'll be able to register through the conference web site very soon.

Until now, the slides from those talks were all available at a number of different web sites. But I've started to make an effort to aggregate them all in one place. There is now a talks page on this site which will (eventually) contain slides from all of the talks that I can trace.

Some of the talks (particularly the earlier ones) were created using some rather baroque home-grown software - so you might need to bear with me a bit whilst I tidy them up.
