The London Perl Workshop was on Saturday, and we've already had four blog
posts about it.
You'll pick up on a theme: it was a great community event.

There are a lot more TPCiA videos online now,
and the Perl 6 weekly news has links to those about Perl 6.

  Front-end focus for a full stack Perl developer
  https://perl.careers/jobs/front-end-focus-for-a-full-stack-perl-developer/?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly

  Perl developers are generally a multi-talented bunch who can segue smoothly
  between the nuts and bolts of back-end work and the immediately rewarding
  aesthetics of front-end work. If pushed, though, most could identify
  where their real passion lies along the spectrum from front-end to
  back-end.
