From jarich at perltraining.com.au Wed Apr 6 19:54:35 2005 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (Jacinta Richardson) Date: Wed Apr 6 19:54:46 2005 Subject: [Canberra-pm] mod_perl courses by Stas in June (in Sydney) and some courses by us in Canberra Message-ID: <4254A0EB.7080409@perltraining.com.au> G'day folk, mod_perl courses in Sydney ========================== In order to subsidise his visit to Australia in June, Stas Bekman, author of Practical mod_perl and mod_perl developer, has organised with Perl Training Australia to run 2 mod_perl courses for general enrollment. If you (or your workmates) have been wondering about what mod_perl is, or if you're a user of mod_perl and want to know more about mod_perl 2.0 then you might be interested in one or both of these courses. *Getting started with mod_perl* explores widely used strategies of coupling mod_perl with another Apache server or/and Squid proxy server to improve performance and reduce system requirements. Learn to port and develop CGI scripts and modules under mod_perl, about persistent database connections and various performance improvement techniques. *mod_perl 2.0, the next generation* covers mod_perl 2.0, which supports all the mod_perl 1.0 features and brings a whole lot of new functionality such as protocol and filter handlers, improved configuration access, threads support and much more. This tutorial will get you up to speed with the new features, in addition to reviewing the old ones. Further information can be found on our website: http://perltraining.com.au/ Course Date Cost ---------------------------------------------------------------- Getting started with mod_perl 13th June 2005 $630 mod_perl 2.0, the next generation 14th June 2005 $630 *** Course places must be booked by 29th April 2005 *** To book on these courses visit: http://perltraining.com.au/bookings/Sydney.html The above table includes our user group discount of $30 per person. To gain this discount you must mention Canberra Perl Mongers as your referrer when booking on the course. I expect that June 14th will be a Sydney Perl Mongers meeting. I encourage you to meet the local Perl Mongers and share tales. Canberra courses ================ At long last, Perl Training Australia is running publicly enrollable courses in Canberra. Here's our current schedule: Courses in Canberra, 2005 ------------------------- Introduction to Perl: 17th - 18th May $1050 Intermediate Perl: 19th - 20th May $1050 Database Programming with Perl: 23rd June $ 630 Perl Security: 24th June $ 630 Note that the Early Bird Special date for the introductory courses is 15th April! Once again, mention Canberra Perl Mongers to get the discounted price. To book on any of these courses visit: http://perltraining.com.au/bookings/Canberra.html Paul will be hoping to meet up with as many of you as possible to have dinner on either the 18th or 19th May. Perhaps you can have an impromptu PM meeting? All the best, Jacinta -- ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ | Jacinta Richardson | `6_ 6 ) `-.
