From glim at mycybernet.net Tue May 10 20:06:00 2005 From: glim at mycybernet.net (Gerard Lim) Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 23:06 -0400 Subject: [grand-rapids-pm-announce] Yet Another Perl Conference final details Message-ID: Hi everyone... There have been some recent developments on the YAPC::NA front, and it has been suggested to us that a reminder might be helpful to some people, so here's a quick summary of the event. Summary ------- YAPC::NA 2005 (Yet Another Perl Conference, North America) in Toronto, Canada, Monday - Wednesday 27 - 29, June 2005 Home page: http://yapc.org/America/ Conference Location: http://89chestnut.com/ A facility of the University of Toronto Accommodations -------------- Normally registration information would come first, but accommodations are the bottleneck -- our main group reservation (at the conference hotel) expires at the end of the week, and as the conference approaches it will be extremely difficult to find a hotel anywhere in the city. Info on how to book at: http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml Registration ------------ Register now! :-) We are on track to break attendance records at YAPC::NA this year, and we could even sell out before the conference starts. The price for the full 3 days is USD$85. We keep it insanely low through many generous sponsorships and the all-volunteer organizational and speaking crews. Registration info: http://yapc.org/America/register-2005.shtml Direct registration link: http://donate.perlfoundation.org/index.pl?node=registrant%20info&conference_id=423 Conference Speaking Schedule ---------------------------- We've got an excellent selection of talks and speakers for Perl programmers of all levels, beginner through expert. We are fortunate enough to have presentations coming from some of the most recognizable names in Perl programming today, including Larry Wall, Chip Salzenberg, Dan Sugalski, Autrijus Tang and brian d foy.

I heard last month we had a record turnout for the "Introduction to Perl" by Matt Heusser. Thanks for the great presentation, Matt. Also thanks to everyone who joined us... If you know a bit of Perl now and you're looking to take the next step, we have two excellent speakers lined up for this month's meeting. First, Chuck Dreyer will give an introduction to the Perl debugger. Next, Jason Porritt will give a presentation on Object Oriented Perl. Both of these presentations assume you are somewhat familiar with Perl, but you don't need to be an expert. If you're interested in knowing more about some great Perl tools and techniques that can make your life easier, then don't miss this month's meeting! The meeting is on Friday, May 27 from 11:30am - 1:00pm. We'll meet at the new Priority Health conference center (formerly Zaagman Funeral Home) near the corner of Leonard St. and East Beltline in Grand Rapids. There is an entrance and parking on the north side of Leonard St. just west of the Red Hot Inn. Visit http://grand-rapids.pm.org/ for directions and a link to Google Maps. Look for the camel signs! As in the past, our sponsor Priority Health will be providing FREE Vitales pizza to all attendees. If you want to make sure we have enough pizza for you, then please RSVP to matth at everysoft.com prior to the meeting. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide computers for this month's meeting, so if you have a laptop and want to follow along with the exercises, please bring it along. Hope to see y'all there!
