Tues, Sep 12th - tomorrow -
Damian Conway, "Three Little Words" (or "Why I Love Perl") (recorded
at The 2017 Perl Conference)


ROOM Change: E51-372

Damian Conway, known for his rapid-paced, wide-ranging, tour-de-force
presentations, was the keynote presenter at The Perl Conference, 2017
(formerly known as YAPC::NA). In his keynote he tells "a tale of
madness, obsession, and coding extremity," describing what it took to
bring 3 keywords from Perl 6 to Perl 5. A community effort that took
three years and 2.8 million lines of code. This is a more extreme
example of what some developers are going through to bring Perl 6
functionality to Perl 5.

We will watch his recorded keynote and discuss among ourselves.

Even if you are new to Perl and don't follow all the technical
details, Damian's highly entertaining presentations are a must see.
(Plus, after the talk when we discuss it, we'll happily answer any
questions.)

About the speaker
Damian Conway is an author or co-author of numerous Perl books, and a
widely sought-after speaker and trainer.
