[LA.pm] LA.pm Tech Talk: 11-28-06: Peter Scott: Talking to Managers

[Todd Cranston-Cuebas]

After receiving rave reviews from the crowds at the Pittsburgh Perl
Workshop, we're pleased to present a repeat performance of...

  Peter Scott's

   Talking to Managers 
Plan to stay afterward to get a bite in a local restaurant. 

A somewhat whimsical yet practical look at how to bridge the chasm that
separates geeks from managers. What gets in our way of promoting Perl to the
suits, and what can we do about it? 

Info about the presenter:
