Speaking to Atlanta Perl Mongers Thursday (before D*C)

merlyn on 2008-08-25T21:16:05

Join me for A special night with Randal Schwartz where I'll be talking about "Perl second-best practices", which I describe as:

So, you don't have time to read Damian Conway's "Perl Best Practices" book, to understand his "256 guidelines on the art of coding to help you write better Perl code"? Hear Randal Schwartz provide the executive summary, including pointing out where Randal disagrees with Damian, and why. This high-speed overview will help you understand "code layout, naming conventions, choice of data and control structures, program decomposition, interface design and implementation, modularity, object orientation, error handling, testing, and debugging." But using shorter words.

If everything goes well, I'll be recording this and putting it into my Vimeo feed in HD.


Cool

I have heard you don't agree with some of them and was always curious about which ones.

Foo.

10-ish minutes from my house and I'm not going to be able to make it. :/

"Perl Second-Best Practices" talk video or slides

Is there any news on when or if slides or a video of the "Perl Second-Best Practices" talk will be available? I'd be very interested in seeing them!
