From gabor at szabgab.com Sun Feb 28 23:07:48 2016 From: gabor at szabgab.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:07:48 +0000 Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #240 - YAPC is coming! Message-ID: <20160229070748.3F565C421@s8.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/240.html Hi there! YAPC::NA is coming to Orlando, Florida and the dead-line to submit talk proposals is in less than 48 hours! If you have not submitted your talk yet, do it now. You will still have plenty of time to actually prepare your talk. YAPC::NA is also going to have a number of 'Master Classes'. I've just sent in two proposals. One for front-end web development and one for building a web API. If you are interested in either of those, let me know! In the meantime, enjoy your week and your weekly dose of Perl!
