April 2009 Archives

I've just got confirmation that I'll be running another three days of public Perl training courses in central London in November. The courses will be:

• 24th Nov - Beginners Perl
• 25th Nov - Intermediate Perl
• 26th Nov - Advanced Perl

More details (like what they will cost and how you can book) will be on my public training page in the next few days.

It was August 2000 when I first gave a public talk about Perl. In the intervening years I've given a lot of talks at a lot of conferences and meetings.

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.

Dave Cross is speaking at the London Perl Mongers technical meeting on April 16th. His talk is entitled "Why do so many companies re-invent well-known CPAN modules badly and end up writing far too much code?"

The meeting is free but you need to sign up in advance at http://londonpmtech.appspot.com/.

This is not an April Fools Day joke.

Update: I'm sorry about this, but due to circumstances beyond my control I won't be at this meeting after all. I'll try to reschedule for later in the year.
