The Perl College is a creative merger of job training and job fairs. Here are its primary goals: * Provide free top quality training to qualified junior level Perl developers * Improve their Perl skills to the intermediate level * Match the new graduates with Perl jobs in the hiring companies * http://perlhunter.com/college.html The Perl College was created to address these issues in recruiting Perl coders: * A shortage of intermediate level Perl developers * A surplus of junior level Perl developers * Some are not developing Perl full time * Many are looking for a career developing Perl but can't get needed training and experience * Companies lacking the resources to train Perl developers We are currently seeking both sponsors and students for this unique education/recruitment opportunity. Hiring Sponsors: Thirty great applicants - cheap! Imagine how much it would cost in both time and money to find and train a qualified applicant for your Perl jobs. The Perl College dramatically improves the efficiency of this process by pre-screening and accepting only the most motivated students. Then we take it one step further. We take those already highly motivated students and train them up to a solid intermediate level of Perl skills. Efficiency, cost effectiveness and quality results - what could be better for your Perl recruitment needs? Student Candidates: Put yourself ahead of the competition. If selected you will have a week of free training from Damian Conway (valued at $3000). Plus you will exposed to employers who are actively seeking intermediate level Perl developers. Competition to get in will be fierce so put your best foot forward. Don't wait to apply as we will take only the thirty most qualified students. For more information on The Perl College, and how to apply to be a sponsor or a student go to these pages: http://perlhunter.com/college.html http://perlhunter.com/sponsors.html http://perlhunter.com/students.html Thanks, Uri Guttman, Dean of The Perl College -- Uri Guttman ------ uri at stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Architecture, Development, Training, Support, Code Review ------ ----------- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ----- http://jobs.perl.org --------- --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- Request pm.org Technical Support via support at pm.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

From 2005 to 2007, the conference took place at the start of the week immediately preceding holiday weekends in both Canada and the U.S. But this year it moves back to the middle of June as was the case up through 2004. This means that the deadline for submission of talks is earlier this year as well. In fact, the deadline is next Saturday, March 15. So if you've been pondering making a presentation at YAPC, you need to submit a proposal (at least in outline) by that date: http:// conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2008/newtalk.

There isn't a local rochester PM so I thought I'd pass some information about a possible Perl job opportunity. I've applied and spoke with the HR rep at gridApp. They are very interested in opening an office in Rochester. Here is the link to the job posting. http://jobs.gridapp.com/perl_developer.php -- ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]########################### --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- Sub NumLock ON at boot LOST #024 --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- To turn numlock on automatically for a few consoles at boot --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- #!/bin/sh # Use setled program.

I have nothing to lose. But I may have some redemptive qualities because after this email I promise that I won?t be posting or generating any follow-up communication. Thank goodness for morals, right? Still, it is possible that you and my employer ? GridApp Systems - have quite a bit to gain by talking about Perl. More specifically, about creating a team of Perl developers in the Rochester area (sorry it's not Buffalo but anything is still possible). My goal is to find enough interest and come up to the area in a few weeks. If you are an open-source fanatic and love Perl ? especially OO Perl - I?d like to speak with you about how we utilize OO Perl to create a database management automation app ? Clarity 4.5 - that offers a single-console view of an organization?s entire database infrastructure while enabling DBA tasks to be implemented in days thereby immediately driving value. Even better, Clarity provides out-of-the-box automation of database provisioning and patching with a click of a button, builds an inventory of all databases and patch levels and server/database utilization, and includes built-in validation of server configurations based on industry and vendor best practices. Clarity works across all common databases including Oracle, SQL Server, and Sybase and has native awareness of Veritas, Oracle RAC, and SQL Server cluster environments. So...I'm looking to connect to experienced Perl developers with and without team lead experience. Heavy backend object-oriented Perl development environment in Linux/Unix (many flavors). Client side is PHP, Perl, JavaScript, SOAP, AJAX, etc. Oldest version of Perl supported is 5.8.7 (although we might migrate to 5.10 on all supported platforms once it is burned in). As Open Source fans, we?ve incorporated many CPAN modules: Algorithm-C3-0.06 AppConfig-1.63 Carp-Assert-0.18 Carp-Clan-5.8 Class-Accessor-0.27 Class-Accessor-Chained-0.01 Class-C3-0.14 Class-Data-Accessor-0.03 Class-Inspector-1.16 Data-Page-2.00 DateManip-5.44 DBD-Oracle-1.18 DBD-Pg-1.49 DBD-SQLite-1.13 DBI-1.53 DBIx-Class-0.07005 Error-0.17008 File-Copy-Recursive-0.29 File-HomeDir-0.58 Filesys-DfPortable-0.85 Lchown-1.00 Log-Dispatch-2.16 Log-Dispatch-FileRotate-1.16 Log-Log4perl-1.07 Log-Log4perl-Layout-XMLLayout-0.03 Module-Build-0.2806 Module-Find-0.05 Net-Netstat-Wrapper Net-SSH-0.08 Net-Telnet-3.03 Params-Validate-0.87 Proc-ProcessTable-0.41 SQL-Abstract-1.22 SQL-Abstract-Limit-0.12 Sub-Uplevel-0.13 Sys-Filesystem-1.22 Sys-MemInfo Template-Toolkit-2.15 TermReadKey-2.30 Test-Exception-0.24 Test-Simple-0.64 Tie-Hash-Indexed-0.04 TimeDate-1.16 version-0.68 Want-0.12 XML-LibXML-1.63 XML-LibXML-Common-0.13 XML-LibXSLT-1.62 XML-NamespaceSupport-1.09 XML-SAX-0.14 XML-Simple-2.16 XML-Xerces-2.7.0-0 As far as coding conventions, we use PBP and peer review (use strict; and use warnings; are mandatory). Warnings are fatal (causing a die to occur). All code must compile on all supported platforms prior to commit (Linux, Solaris, Win32, HP-UX, etc.). * Significantly skilled with Perl (C++, PHP receive bonus points) * Solid experience in TCP/IP network and/or distributed systems programming * Working with one or more of Oracle/DB2/Sybase/MSSQL * Fluency in Linux and/or flavors of UNIX * Team lead experience would be very nice to have Simply, you have an unbridled love of Perl. Yes, it's love; our developers speak at YAPC, Frozen Perl, participate in hackathons, and even have their own software interests outside of work. All tinkerers... We?re based in New York City (about 40 in total with a sales lead on the West Coast, Chicago, DC, and a few in the NY Metro area); shorts and t-shirts in the summer, no crazy work hours (except during releases), everyone is a tinkerer. Email or call me if you want to discuss. Thanks.
