Submitted OSCON Talks

Well, I've submitted two talks for OSCON. There appears to have been a bit of confusion as the BBC was going to be submitting several proposals together rather than have each individual send them separately, but there appears to be some confusion as to whether or not this actually happened. As a result, I submitted mine directly, just to make sure.



Turbo Charge Your Test Suites
If your tests run faster, you're more likely to run them. If your tests are easier to run, you're more likely to rum them. If your tests are easier to write, you're more likely to write them. We will show you how to accomplish all three.
Object Oriented Composition With Traits
Multiple inheritance, Java interfaces, and Ruby mixins are well known methods of dealing with composition in object oriented code, but each has limitations. We'll examine these limitations and see how "traits" (not the C++ variety) avoids these limitations. Examples will be in Java and Ruby with the traits implementation in Perl.


Drunken tests?

I think you meant "run them" not "rum them". :-P

Oops! Fixed, thanks :)

traits in Scala

I ran across this the other day and wondered what the Perl-traits crowd would think of it: A Tour of Scala: Traits. It seems pretty straightforward and maps pretty well to what I saw in a presentation by Stevan on traits in moose.
