Intro to Moose taught by Dave Rolsky
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, go in depth on many of
them, 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. This will contain the exercises for
the class.
