Perl and Go training in Omaha by Dave Rolsky

[Jay Hannah]

So I was just at a conference in Salt Lake City and Dave Rolsky (http://blog.urth.org/) mentioned that he'll be in Omaha this fall for some family stuff.

It would be AMAZING if we could get him to do some training while he's in town!

Would you or your company be interested in paying $100 for a 1-day training session in either Go or Perl?

If so please let me know so I can twist Dave's arm. :)

Below, one of his recent blog posts about the training he did in SLC.

I'd also mention Dave's the guy who rewrote all the core perl5 docs for modern object oriented Perl (Moose, etc.). He knows his stuff. :)

Please let me know soonish.

Thanks,

My Two Master Classes at YAPC::NA::2015

Posted on April 13, 2015 by Dave Rolsky

This year at YAPC I’ll be giving two master classes. Why am I doing this? I don’t know, I think I may be insane. But that aside, here’s some info about said classes.

My first class is Introduction to Moose. I’ve been giving this class for a number of years, and it’s always been well-received. The class will take place on Sunday, June 7, the day before the conference proper begins. The cost of the class is a mere $175 for a full day! The format of the class consists of alternating lecture and exercise blocks, so you’ll be writing a lot of code over the course of the day. The class is aimed at intermediate Perl programmers with a basic understanding of OO who want to learn more about Moose.

Here’s what one past student said about the class:

Great class. I especially liked your problem sets. You gave out problems you expected your class to actually solve, and you allowed class time for solving them. This should be a basic expectation for any class, but it’s amazing how often teachers don’t do this.

You can find more details about the class content on the master class page on the YAPC::NA::2015 site.

The second class is Introduction to Go. This is a new class for me, and I’m excited to offer it. This class will take place on Thursday, June 11, the day after the conference proper ends. This class is also $175. Like the Moose class, the format is alternativing lecture and exercise blocks, so you’ll get hands-on experience writing Go code. This class is aimed at people who already know one programming language and want to learn Go.

You can register for these classes, as well as several other excellent master classes from other instructors, by going to the YAPC::NA::2015 purchasing page. The class size for both classes is limited to about 15 people (I don’t remember the exact limit), so register now to reserve your spot.

I think I could dig up $100.  Twist that arm, Jay!  :)

I could definitely find $100 for a Perl/Moose training session.  The Go session could be interesting, too.  I might be up for that, but I'd absolutely do a Perl one.

It might be worth mentioning it on the OLUG mailing list, too.

Oh, sweet! Dave posted a summary of the classes he's offering to give in Omaha, if we can drum up enough interest:
