SPUG: Re: Registering for Conway $eminars

SPUGadelics,

There seems to be some confusion over the various talks Damian will
be giving in Seattle; there are two free SPUG talks, on the evenings
of 7/5 and 7/6, and two fee-based full-day seminars on 7/6 and 7/7,
to be held in a conference room of an Eastside hotel. 

The seminars are priced at $475 each, same as the EarlyBird rates at
The Perl Conference.  Why attend in Seattle?
  * if already in Pacific NorthWest, no need to travel to California
  * if attending Conference anyway, attending in Kirkland frees up
    valuable conference time for other tutorials in same time-slot
  * you'd receive greater personal attention by attending with a
    smaller group
  * you'd allow Damian to receive a much greater share of your 
    seminar fee than he'd get at TPC, due to much lower expenses

I'm trying to estimate the likely attendance for the hotel events,
to ensure a room of adequate size, and sufficient catering. 

If you're planning to attend one or both of these seminars and you
haven't yet registered (http://www.consultix-inc.com/reg.html),
please get in touch with me.

Brief summaries of these seminars follow below, and

BEYOND REGEXES: TEXT PARSING WITH PERL MODULES, by D. Conway
           July 7, 2000.  Kirkland, WA USA

DESCRIPTION:
   This seminar will show you how to use a range of
standard Perl features and several CPAN modules (in
particular, Parse::RecDescent) to decipher and process
a variety of complex data and command formats. It's a
practical introduction to the techniques of grammar-based
recursive-descent parsing.  Examples include: converting
queries to regexes, parsing Apache error-log and
configuration files, filtering DNA sequences, and natural
language processing.
