LA.pm is very glad to welcome back renowned Perl author Randal
Schwartz, for his Introductory talk about the ORM framework
Rose::DB::Object. The meeting will be held at the Rent.com offices in
Santa Monica on Thursday the 16th of August, from 7:00-9:00pm.

Randal L. Schwartz is a two-decade veteran of the software industry --
skilled in software design, system administration, security, technical
writing, and training. He has coauthored the "must-have" standards:
Programming Perl, Learning Perl, Learning Perl for Win32 Systems, and
Effective Perl Programming, as well as writing regular columns for
WebTechniques, PerformanceComputing, SysAdmin, and Linux magazines.
He's also a frequent contributor to the Perl newsgroups and the "Perl
Monastery" community (perlmonks.org), and has moderated
comp.lang.perl.announce since its inception. His offbeat humor and
technical mastery have reached legendary proportions worldwide (but he
probably started some of those legends himself). Randal's desire to
give back to the Perl community inspired him to help create and
provide initial funding for The Perl Institute. He is also a founding
board member of the Perl Mongers (perl.org), the worldwide Perl
grassroots advocacy organization. Since 1985, Randal has owned and
operated Stonehenge Consulting Services, Inc. You can find out more

Rose::DB::Object is an extensible, high performance RDBMS-OO mapper,
