OSDC.TW

Perl 5.12 is the latest stable release of the programming language we all know in love. It's faster, less buggy and more flexible than ever before. Come learn about what's new in this version and how our community and release process have been evolving over the past year.

Message Queues are extremely useful in distributed applications and
cloud environments.  AnyMQ is a Perl-based in-process message queue
system, with optional adapters to external message queue servers that
support AMQP or other messaging protocols.

K-9 Mail is an opensource email client for Android. It began as a fork to fix bugs in the Android 1.0 Email application. Now, a year and a half later, we have committers from around the world and are building a world-class mobile email client.

Plack is the Perl web framework toolkit that implements PSGI
(Perl Web Server Gateway Interface) servers and middleware components,
exactly like Ruby's Rack and Python's WSGI. Plack frees web framework
developers to deal with web server environments and also provides an
infrastructure for sharable middleware/plugin components.

If you ask ten programmers what characterizes object-oriented
programming best, chances are many of them will use the word
"inheritance" in their answer. I'd bet money that some of those
programmers will then go back to working on a project that makes good
use of duck typing, or of mixins. Such techniques are examples of
nonhierarchical OOP: object-oriented programming that eschews inheritance.

The current trend for new programming languages seems to be to include
more and more nonhierarchical OOP features. Some examples are new-style
interfaces in Google's Go, traits in Scala and Fortress, and roles in
Perl 6. This talk will focus on roles as provided by Perl 5's Moose
object system, as that seems to have the most uptake and is most
relevant for OSDC.tw's audience. Furthermore, because of roles' "class
building-block" nature, they are perhaps the best fit for open source of
any nonhierarchical system thus far.

Thankfully, nonhierarchical OOP is becoming mainstream. Because
seriously, multiple inheritance needs to die!

The status quo of OSDC and OSCON conferences is to attract the best
programmers from the most exciting programming languages, bring them
all to one tropical venue for several days, and let them go off into
their own corners to discuss their own technology, in isolation from
everyone else.

Ingy döt Net believes that programming languages act as barriers to the
growth of the hacker community and that truly great hackers rise above
the language barrier level, and produce technology that serves all the
languages. He calls this belief "Acmeism".

In this hour long talk, Ingy will discuss the tenets of Acmeism and why
you, young hacker, should believe it with all your heart. Once he is
confident that you have checked your favorite programming artillery at
the OSDC Gun Check Window, he will attempt to convert you by hypnotizing
your hacker brain with these shiny and sexy Acmeist projects:

* C'Dent - A new module programming language (made from old ones like yours)
* TestML - A common unit test framework for every language
* ParseOpt.cd - Acmeist command options parser module, written in C'Dent
* YAML - An acmeist data serialization language
* Jemplate - An acmeist templating framework
* pQuery - Acmeist server-side jQuery

The Shibuya.pm comes in Taipei!
Shibuya Perl Mongers is a community of Perl hackers based in Tokyo.
The guys here give technical talks away in the special sub-conference
of the OSDC.TW 2010.
You'll see the highest level in technics and the lowest level in depth of Perl.
