Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong
 
Short Description of talk...

Everybody makes mistakes. Most of the time they can be fixed.

But as you gain more experience and your projects get larger you enter the
dangerous and exotic world of large-scale design, with mistakes so seductive
you won't notice until years after you make them, and so dangerous you can't
risk fixing them even once you do.

In the style of "You Can't Get There From Here", this talk will cover the
theoretical basis of some of the worst design mistakes, and take you on a
tour of some the biggest mistakes in the Perl world (including mine).

Adam's Bio...
Adam Kennedy is one of Perl's "beautiful people", brilliant, outgoing,
stunningly handsome, yet still modest. And he loves being asked to write his
own bio.

Founder of Perl development and consulting company Phase N Australia, he
works on Perl scalability and the solution of novel, complex and non-trivial
problems for a variety of clients.

Preview of next month...
 
Set aside July 11th for the next big talk. Note: I'm still finalizing the
location. Randal's back in town to present... 

Practicing Better Perl:
Randal Schwartz summarizes the 30 most important "Perl Best Practices" from
Professor Conway's book of the same name, and throws in his own experiences
as well.

Please click on the supplied link below to let us know if you're coming. As
far as I know, you will _not_ be required to register with Evite if this is
a concern. This will help me to get a better idea of the head count so
PLEASE take the time to RVSP. The Evite invitation also has more information
regarding parking, etc.
