From jarich at perltraining.com.au Tue Oct 5 20:33:32 2010 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (Jacinta Richardson) Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2010 14:33:32 +1100 Subject: [Melbourne-pm] New course: Enterprise Perl running October 25th - 29th Message-ID: <4CABEE0C.7030200@perltraining.com.au> G'day folk, Our Enterprise Perl course has been rescheduled to the last week in this month. Enterprise Perl exists to teach people who already know all the Perl basics, the things they might have missed out on learning about if they haven't been paying close attention to all the new shiny things that have arrived in Perl over the last few years. I hope to see a few of you on the course. Perl Mongers get a 5% discount when booking if you ask for it. Questions, and recommendations for technologies we might not have noticed are very much welcome! We're also running our regular Programming Perl course in Melbourne on 8th - 12th November 2010. We're happy to extend our discount for this course too. I can confirm that this could will run. J New course: Enterprise Perl =========================== http://perltraining.com.au/courses/enterprise.html Running in Melbourne October 25th - 29th Course description: ------------------- You already know Perl. You write in Perl regularly, you may have even released some code to the CPAN but are you sure you're doing it right? Languages and techniques evolve over time, and Perl is no exception. This course will cover many of the best modern and practical techniques in Perl, including: * How to gain feedback and enforce coding standards with Perl::Critic. * Starting your project on the right foot, without repeating yourself, using Module::Starter. * Module documentation and POD. * Test-driven development, test coverage, advanced testing. * Fundamentals of old-style object orientation. * Using Moose for flexible object oriented design, including inheritance, roles, types and coercion, and how to integrate with old-style OO. * Error handling code with autodie and Try::Tiny. * Wizardly work with databases, using DBI and DBIx::Class. * Profiling your code with Devel::NYTProf, and examining your test suite coverage with Devel::Cover. * How to bundle your code and dependencies with PAR, the Perl Archiver. Target audience --------------- Perl programmers with a thorough understanding and at least 3 months practice of the material in our Programming Perl course. Enterprise Perl will bring you up to date with modern standards of Perl programming. Group discount ============== Make a single booking for three or more people on the same course and receive a 5% discount per person.

A friendly reminder that the CFP for the Open Programming Miniconf, part of LCA2011 being held in Brisbane in January, is closing on October 22. That's this Friday! If you're a developer working with or on Open Source development tools or languages, and especially Perl, they'd love to hear you share your tips and techniques. The CFP, including details about what we're after, is available from http://blogs.tucs.org.au/opm/cfp Best wishes, Paul == ABOUT THE MINICONF == The LCA2011 Open Programming Miniconf is the successor to the Open Programming Languages Miniconf held at LCA2010, and continues the tradition of bridging the gap between the low-level developer and the end-user by bringing the topic of tools and techniques for application development to Linux.conf.au. OPM2011 is part of Linux.conf.au 2011, being held at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane in January 2011.
