Effective Perl Programming at Frozen Perl 2011

On Friday, February 4, 2011 at Frozen Perl, I’m teaching a master class based on Effective Perl Programming, 2nd Edition. The master class is a low-cost, condensed class format given at a public Perl event. The cost of this one-day class is $100, and there are a limited number of $25 seats for full-time students.

In the one-day class for intermediate Perl programmers, I’ll cover selected topics from the book and possibly from this website.

Effective Perl Programming at YAPC::NA 2010

I’ll be teaching an Effective Perl Programming course at YAPC::NA in Columbus, OH on June 24 and 25 at the conference venue. The cost of the two day master class is just $240, and this year that includes your snacks and lunches each day.

Josh and I will also have a box of signed copies of the book, although those might go fast during the conference (and aren’t part of the course fee). Of course, you can also buy your book in advance and have us sign it during the conference. :)

Effective Perl Programming at Frozen Perl 2010

On Friday, February 5, 2010 at Frozen Perl, I’m teaching a new master class based on our book, Effective Perl Programming, 2nd Edition. The master class is a low-cost, condensed class format given at a public Perl event. The cost of this one-day class is $100, and there are a limited number of $25 seats for full-time students.

In the one-day class for intermediate Perl programmers, I’ll cover selected topics from the book, including:

  • Working with Unicode in Perl
  • Tricks with filehandles
  • New regex features in Perl 5.10 and later
  • Playing with pack
  • Using closures to make things simpler
  • and other topics as time allows

Although the book hasn’t been published yet, it is available for pre-order on Amazon, and attendees to the class can get a sneak peek at the working manuscript as well as a soft copy of the course slides.
