[Catalyst] London Perl tutorials - 25th & 26th February 2009 - day 2 includes Cat+DBIC

[Matt S Trout]

Ok, so, as a favour to the UKUUG and to Dave Cross, founder of the illustrious
london.pm and person mad enough to let me split the tutorial time at the
London Perl Workshop 2008 with him, I hereby re-appear on the lists to
point out that there are tutorials going on, and those of you attempting to
get people up to speed or rescue PHP developers or whatever might be
interested in it.

So, if you are interested, here's the details -

UKUUG (in conjunction with O'Reilly) presents:

Introduction to Perl - 25th February 2009 

Advanced Perl Techniques - 26th February 2009

Tutor: Dave Cross

see:  http://www.ukuug.org/events/perl09/

Day 1: Introduction to Perl - 25th February:

This one-day course is an introduction to Perl for complete beginners. No 
knowledge of Perl is assumed, although attendees will have a slight advantage 
if they have some knowledge of at least one other programming language. At 
the end of the course, attendees will have enough knowledge to write a number 
of useful Perl programs, together with details of where to go for more 
information.

Syllabus: 
What is Perl 
Input and output 
Creating and running a Perl program 
Regular expressions 
Perl variables 
References 
Operators and functions 
Finding and using modules 
Conditional constructs 
Smart matching 
Subroutines 


Day 2: Advanced Perl Techniques - 26th February:

Perl has come a long way since the "scripting language" which powered most of 
the world wide web in the 1990s. There are many ways to build applications in 
Perl. In this course we will look at some powerful techniques which are used 
by the best Perl programmers in the world. This one-day course is aimed at 
programmers who have been using Perl for some time but who may not be 
completely up to date with the latest Perl techniques. At the end of the 
course attendees will have a number of modern Perl programming techniques to 
their programming toolkit. 

Syllabus: 
What's new in Perl 5.10 
Dates and times
Testing (including coverage analysis)
Database access with DBIx::Class
Profiling 
Object oriented programming with Moose
Templates 
Web application development with Catalyst
