The Pittsburgh Perl Mongers are pleased to announce The PITTSBURGH
PERL WORKSHOP 2007, a two-day, low-cost conference on Saturday and
Sunday October 13-14, 2007.

ABOUT

The Pittsburgh Perl Workshop is an annual conference dedicated to the
Perl programming language. In 2006, the Pittsburgh Perl Mongers broke
new ground by hosting the first Perl Workshop based in the United
States. This year, the Perl Mongers are expanding the Workshop to a
two-day format. As always, the 2007 Workshop is designed to provide
you with a comfortable, exciting, and enjoyable learning experience.
It is structured as a series of short lectures, but the atmosphere is
low key and engaging - the perfect combination to open your mind and
then cram it full of good stuff.

WHAT'S NEW

After last year's conference, you gave us feedback - a lot. We
listened. This year, we are giving you what you asked for:

    * The workshop has expanded to a two-day event to allow for more
talks, BOF's, and social interactions.

    * We will be adding a one-day course for programmers with little
or no Perl experience. This course will be given by a world-class Perl
trainer.

    * The schedule has become more relaxed to allow for more peer
interaction.

    * Scheduling of sessions has been improved to maximize flexibility
in attending the sessions you want to attend.

    * The web site is now powered by "A Conference Toolkit" (ACT)
