Dave's description:
> Join us for an interactive hands-on course all about Moose, an OO system for
> Perl 5 that provides a simple declarative layer of "sugar" on top of a
> powerful, extensible meta-model.
>
> With Moose, simple classes can be created without writing any subroutines, and
> complex classes can be simplified. Moose's features include a powerful
> attribute declaration system, type constraints and coercions, method modifiers
> ("before", "after", and "around"), a role system (like mixins on steroids),
> and more. Moose also has a vibrant ecosystem of extensions as seen in the
> variety of MooseX:: modules on CPAN.
>
> This course will cover Moose's core features, dip a toe into the meta-model,
> and explore some of the more powerful MooseX:: modules available on CPAN.
>
> Students are expected to bring a laptop, as you will be writing code during
> the class. You will also be provided with a tarball a week or so before the
> class is scheduled, which will contain a directory tree skeleton and test
> files.
