"Extreme Perl", by Asim Jalis
------------------------------------------------------
In this talk, you will learn:
- What's eXtreme Programming, Unit Testing, Refactoring, and
Emergent Architecture.
- What's in the CPAN unit testing modules and how to use
these modules to tighten your code.
- How to jump into coding without spending weeks and months
in architecture and design, and still deliver code that is
rock-solid.
- How to shock your product manager by cheerfully accepting
brand new requirements and then implementing them without
breaking any existing functionality.
We will talk about unit testing, refactoring, and emergent
architecture as they apply to Perl, and then we'll do some
mob programming to experience how it works in practice.

About the Speaker, Creede Lambard:
---------------------------------
I'm a computer professional with over 20 years' experience in
various platforms. I first learned Perl about five years ago and
discovered that English really wasn't my native language after
all. I'm a veteran of Microsoft, RealNetworks, The Cobalt Group
and several lesser entities, and am currently looking for another
position so I know definitively what kind of work I'm out of.
See you there!
