In conjuction with the UKUUG and O'Reilly Media, Magnum Solutions will be running some public Perl training courses in February 2011. There will be two two-day courses. Intermediate Perl will run on February 15-16th and Advanced Perl will run on February 17-18th. Both courses will be at the Royal National Hotel on Bedford Way in central London.

Each course is £500 per attendee. There are discounts for UKUUG members and multiple attendees from the same organisation.

For more details of these courses, see our public training page and to book a place, see the UKUUG web site.

Note: If you came to this page through the link in Perl Weekly issue #16, then you probably really want the page about the 2012 training courses.

This year's 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.

We've just confirmed the dates of our first set of public training courses for 2010. We will be running three days of Perl training from the 13th to the 15th April. There will be three one-day courses - Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Perl. The courses will, once again, be held in the Imperial Hotel in Russell Square, London.

As always, you can get more information on our forthcoming courses from our public training page.

It's a little later than intended, but we've finally got the slides from last month's Perl training courses uploaded to the web site. You can find them here.

A quick reminder that there are still some places left on my public training courses taking place in London next month.

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

All courses take place at the Imperial Hotel, Russell Square, London WC1B 5BB.

Further details are available online or you can leap straight to the booking page.

Update: I've just heard from the organisers that the Intermediate course is almost full and that places are also going quickly on the other two days. So I recommend getting in soon.

Last Thursday, Dave Cross gave two talks to the Milton Keynes Perl Mongers. The slides from these talks are now available on Slideshare.

• Maintaining CPAN Modules - a talk above the tools that Dave uses to maintain his CPAN modules
• Perl Training - Experiences, anecdotes and vague conclusions drawn from Dave's eight years of running Perl training courses

We have put online the slides from the training course that Dave Cross ran in Lisbon last week. Currently the slides are only available in the original OpenOffice format. We'll get PDF and PowerPoint versions up just as soon as we can.

The slides are also on SlideShare.

We've set up a Magnum Solutions page on Facebook. If you're on Facebook then you can become a "fan" of the page and that will be another way to keep in touch with what we are doing.

And whilst we're on a social networking roll, there's also a Twitter account (perltraining_uk) where we'll be posting news of forthcoming training courses.

Magnum's owner will be running a two-day "Introduction to Perl" course over the weekend before this year's YAPC::Europe conference. The conference this year is in Lisbon, Portugal from August 3rd to 5th and the training course is on the 1st and 2nd.
