A whole new side of PPW.

This year, we're trying to mix some things up with PPW and the talks
that you'll see. Don't worry, we'll still have the same traditional
talks (in fact, our call for papers will be opening in the next few
days). But also, we want to take PPW to the next level.

To reach that goal, we've been working with a few selected speakers
over the past months on something we like to call "Things that touch
Perl." For Perl developers, we hope this means that we're going to get
you excited about taking Perl home with you and trying to use it in
new ways. For developers new to Perl, we hope to show you both why
Perl is a great language to work with and why Perl is great at working
with other things.

We're also expanding our special course offerings at PPW this year.
Dan Klein will be returning with "From Zero to Perl", a beginner
course which made its debut at PPW last year with excellent reviews.
Also, Perl author Peter Scott will be providing a day-long course
titled "Maintaining Code While Staying Sane", a course targeted at
developers that just had somebody else's code dumped in their lap. We
also have a few other instructors that we are working with to
potentially provide day-long courses, and we hope to be announcing
those soon.

The website is open http://pghpw.org.  Please stop by.
