Please be sure to select the "Intro to Moose" option when registering. Seating in this course is limited to 15 students.\n\nAbout th e course.\n\nJoin us for an interactive hands-on course all about Moose. M oose is an OO system for Perl 5 that provides a simple declarative layer o f "sugar" on top of a powerful\, extensible meta-model.\n\nWith Moose\, si mple classes can be created without writing any subroutines\, and complex classes can be simplified. Moose's features include a powerful attribute d eclaration system\, type constraints and coercions\, method modifiers ("be fore"\, "after"\, and "around")\, a role system (like mixins on steroids)\ , and more. Moose also has a vibrant ecosystem of extensions as seen in th e variety of MooseX:: modules on CPAN.\n\nThis course will cover Moose's c ore features and explore some of the more powerful MooseX:: modules availa ble on CPAN.\n\nStudents are expected to bring a laptop\, as you will be w riting code during the class. You will also be provided with a tarball a w eek or so before the class is scheduled\, which will contain a directory t ree skeleton and test files.\n\nAbout the instructor.\n\nDave Rolsky has b een a Perl developer since 1999\, and has created or contributed to dozens of CPAN modules. He is a member of the Moose core development team\, and in early 2009 completed a TPF grant to substantially rewrite and expand th e Moose documentation. He is also the co-author of Embedding Perl in HTML with Mason and RT Essentials.

They may b e given by experienced speakers already giving full length talks or by fir st time speakers just starting out (this is a great way to get started if you have something to say). If you are a first time speaker you will win a tie with an experience speaker when the schedule is made if it comes to it. Today's first time speaker could be tomorrow's keynote speaker.\n\nWe will have about 8 Lightning Talks of 5 minutes. Submit your talk through the submit talk link on this website. The first deadline is one week bef ore the conference starts and many proposals will be accepted. At least t wo speaking spots will be held open until the day before the talks to give you a chance to see something at the conference and put together a Lightn ing Talk response. However if you wait for the later deadlines note that there are fewer spots available and you are less likely to be accepted so please try to submit more than a week before the conference.\n\nIn additio n to the five minute Lightning Talks where you get to use your computer\, slides\, and any other tool\, we will also have some Lightning Advertiseme nts. These are only 30 seconds\, you don't have to submit a proposal\, yo u don't get any slides\, and the only AV assistance offered is a microphon e. If you have a BOF to announce\, an auction item so advertise or any ot her short message you can use the transition time that would be otherwise wasted between Lightning Talks to share your message. Just show up before we start and take a seat in the assigned seats in the front of the room.\ n\n\n\n\nWhy Would You Want to do a Lightning Talk?\n\nMaybe you've never given a talk before\, and you'd like to start small. For a Lightning Talk\ , you don't need to make slides\, and if you do decide to make slides\, yo u only need to make three.\n\nMaybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'l l mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than i t is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up\, at least the painful part will be over quickly.\n\nMaybe you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question\, or invite people to help you with your proje ct\, or boast about something you did\, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about\, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.\n\nMaybe you h ave a lot of things to say\, and you're already going to give a long talk on one of them\, and you don't want to hog the spotlight. There's nothing wrong with giving several Lightning Talks. Hey\, they're only five minutes .\n\nOn the other side\, people might want to come to a lightning talk whe n they wouldn't come to a long talk on the same subject. The risk for the attendees is smaller: If the talk turns out to be dull\, or if the person giving the talk turns out to be a really bad speaker\, well\, at least it' s over in five minutes. With lightning talks\, you're never stuck in some boring lecture for forty-five minutes.\n\nStill having trouble picking a t opic\, here are some suggestions:\n\n 1. Why my favorite module is X.\n 2. I want to do cool project X. Does anyone want to help?\n 3. Success ful Project: I did project X. It was a success. Here's how you could benef it.\n 4. Failed Project: I did project X. It was a failure\, and here's why.\n 5. Heresy: People always say X\, but they're wrong. Here's why.\n 6. You All Suck: Here's what is wrong with the our community.\n 7. Ca ll to Action: Let's all do more of X / less of X.\n 8. Wouldn't it be co ol if X?\n 9. Someone needs to do X.\n 10. Wish List\n 11. Why X was a mistake.\n 12. Why X looks like a mistake\, but isn't.\n 13. What it's like to do X.\n 14. Here's a useful technique that worked.\n 15. Here's a technique I thought would be useful but didn't work.\n 16. Why algorith m X sucks.\n 17. Comparison of algorithms X and Y. \n\nOf course\, you co uld give the talk on anything you wanted\, whether or not it is on this li st. If we get a full schedule of nothing but five minutes of ranting and r aving on each topic\, a good time will still be had by most.

Owens COMMENT:5 attendees DESCRIPTION:Path::Dispatcher solves the problem of "dispatch" - mapping a s tring (the path) through a set of rules to find matches and then act upon them. Most commonly this is done in web applications to run one or more ac tions based on each incoming request URI. However\, Path::Dispatcher\, unl ike most of the other modules in its niche\, is not married to the web. It is also used to dispatch based on command-line arguments in Prophet/SD\, and to dispatch commands in a MUD engine.\n\nThis talk (since being presen ted at YAPC-NA) has become a case study in Moosey design\, describing how the needs of Path::Dispatcher's users have influenced its evolution. Too m any talks present a topic as though the solution sprung fully-formed from the designer's brain in an instant\, ignoring the interesting details of h ow a system is improved over time.

It lets them quietly coordinate with each other and frees the author s from having to worry about the details. It was written in 2001 and in th at decade there's been an explosion of testing modules.\n\nA decade later\ , Test::Builder is starting to show its age and limitations. Its assumptio ns and biases are restraining the Perl testing community. Perl has moved o n\, too. When Test::Builder was written\, testing was still a "new" thing. Now its a given. We have a real object system now and a sophisticated com munity to take advantage.\n\nEnter Test::Builder2. A total rewrite of Test ::Builder to remove its biases and let test authors do whatever they can d ream up while still being the solid iron core of Perl testing and remainin g compatible with Test::Builder. It takes advantage of things like Mouse ( that's a small Moose)\, method wrappers and roles. Counter-intuitively\, i t does less than Test::Builder does while providing more opportunities.\n\ nSchwern has a grant for Test::Builder2 from the Perl Foundation and if he doesn't release something by PPW he will be sleeping with the fishes.

The purpose of this presentation is to introduce an application framework (OpenWCM)\, an application programming interface (WCM)\, and the PerlGen source code generator\, in order to help Perl deve lopers in build highly-functional web applications while slashing developm ent time and cost. All web applications face a common set of problems at the inception of each project\, including designing an application securit y policy\, developing user account functions (login\, logout\, change pass word\, lost password\, signup\, unsubscribe\, member profile\, and adminis trative controls)\, architectural issues (cookies\, encryption\, error han dling\, logging\, database interface\, application configuration\, and per formance scaling)\, and presentation issues (HTML templating\, content man agement\, site search\, and error reporting). All of this code is simply “scaffolding” that must be addressed before a single line of code can be w ritten to build the desired target application.\n\nOpenWCM is a full-featu red open source web content management system that provides a rich API for developing web applications. OpenWCM includes a Perl source code generat or\, known as PerlGen\, which can accelerate web development by a factor o f 20 times or more. Using OpenWCM for the framework\, and PerlGen to buil d new applications\, development time for new web applications is signific antly reduced. PerlGen utilizes a four step process to create new program s. First\, a MySQL database schema is parsed to produce a configuration f ile. Second\, the configuration file is manually edited using a standard text editor to define behaviors for data elements and control code in the resulting output code. Third\, the target program is generated from the c onfiguration file. In many cases\, this program can be used without furth er modification. If additional logic is required\, a fourth step is used to modify the generated program and produce the final code. Depending on the complexity required in the target program\, it can take from 30 minute s to several hours to build a new program. PerlGen will be demonstrated a s part of the presentation. PerlGen is accompanied by a 183 page referenc e manual\, and a 237 page API reference manual.

This phrase summarizes a movement that has been happening for several years – connecting and monitoring things via the web – things lik e sensors and controllers. The Internet of Things will become very useful when this patched together network operates on your behalf – presenting da ta to you via the web as necessary and controlling systems in the backgrou nd.\n\nThe data that you would receive from a sensor are strings. Perl's p owerful string operations allow Perl to be a perfect language to process s ensor feedback and distribute to data stores. The host of CPAN drop-in mod ules will allow you to connect hardware to web services enabling rapid ide a prototyping for projects that link the real world to the virtual world. Imagine this application without Perl: You can track your cell phone via G oogle Latitude then automatically turn on your air conditioner when you ge t close to your home.\n\nThe object of this talk is to discuss Perl's role in the emergence of the Internet of Things and how you can get started cr eating applications.

They may be given by experienced speakers already givi ng full length talks or by first time speakers just starting out (this is a great way to get started if you have something to say). If you are a fi rst time speaker you will win a tie with an experience speaker when the sc hedule is made if it comes to it. Today's first time speaker could be tom orrow's keynote speaker.\n\nWe will have about 8 Lightning Talks of 5 minu tes. Submit your talk through the submit talk link on this website. The first deadline is one week before the conference starts and many proposals will be accepted. At least two speaking spots will be held open until th e day before the talks to give you a chance to see something at the confer ence and put together a Lightning Talk response. However if you wait for the later deadlines note that there are fewer spots available and you are less likely to be accepted so please try to submit more than a week before the conference.\n\nIn addition to the five minute Lightning Talks where y ou get to use your computer\, slides\, and any other tool\, we will also h ave some Lightning Advertisements. These are only 30 seconds\, you don't have to submit a proposal\, you don't get any slides\, and the only AV ass istance offered is a microphone. If you have a BOF to announce\, an aucti on item so advertise or any other short message you can use the transition time that would be otherwise wasted between Lightning Talks to share your message. Just show up before we start and take a seat in the assigned se ats in the front of the room.\n\n\n\n\nWhy Would You Want to do a Lightnin g Talk?\n\nMaybe you've never given a talk before\, and you'd like to star t small. For a Lightning Talk\, you don't need to make slides\, and if you do decide to make slides\, you only need to make three.\n\nMaybe you're n ervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and del iver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do m ess up\, at least the painful part will be over quickly.\n\nMaybe you don' t have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question\, or invite peop le to help you with your project\, or boast about something you did\, or t ell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth t alking about\, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.\n\nMaybe you have a lot of things to say\, and you're alre ady going to give a long talk on one of them\, and you don't want to hog t he spotlight. There's nothing wrong with giving several Lightning Talks. H ey\, they're only five minutes.\n\nOn the other side\, people might want t o come to a lightning talk when they wouldn't come to a long talk on the s ame subject. The risk for the attendees is smaller: If the talk turns out to be dull\, or if the person giving the talk turns out to be a really bad speaker\, well\, at least it's over in five minutes. With lightning talks \, you're never stuck in some boring lecture for forty-five minutes.\n\nSt ill having trouble picking a topic\, here are some suggestions:\n\n 1. W hy my favorite module is X.\n 2. I want to do cool project X. Does anyon e want to help?\n 3. Successful Project: I did project X. It was a succe ss. Here's how you could benefit.\n 4. Failed Project: I did project X. It was a failure\, and here's why.\n 5. Heresy: People always say X\, bu t they're wrong. Here's why.\n 6. You All Suck: Here's what is wrong wit h the our community.\n 7. Call to Action: Let's all do more of X / less of X.\n 8. Wouldn't it be cool if X?\n 9. Someone needs to do X.\n 10 . Wish List\n 11. Why X was a mistake.\n 12. Why X looks like a mistake\ , but isn't.\n 13. What it's like to do X.\n 14. Here's a useful techniq ue that worked.\n 15. Here's a technique I thought would be useful but di dn't work.\n 16. Why algorithm X sucks.\n 17. Comparison of algorithms X and Y. \n\nOf course\, you could give the talk on anything you wanted\, w hether or not it is on this list. If we get a full schedule of nothing but five minutes of ranting and raving on each topic\, a good time will still be had by most.

You will learn the "Hello\, World" blinking LED sketch. From this basic sketch I will expand to show you how to begin communicating with the Arduino and Perl. You will learn how to take input from the outside world to control events in your Perl programs. You will learn how to control the outside world using Perl. These basic skills will open up your I/O world and you will use Perl to glue it together of cours e.

Contrary to\nthe Whorf-Sapir hypothesi s\, your language of choice does not generally\nprevent you from thinking certain thoughts\, but your language can\ncertainly make it easier or hard er to express those thoughts. Lately\nI've enjoyed playing with various P erl examples on rosettacode.org\,\nand have noticed this principle in acti on. In this talk we'll look\nat some of the ways a language can make your life more miserable than\nit needs to be.
