DESCRIPTION:Need to build a web application and keep hearing about methods 
 you aren't quite sure of?  Know Catalyst but don't feel you really "know" 
 it.  We won't go into carnal knowledge\, but we will explore the various d
 ispatch mechanisms to build robust and extensible web applications.\n\nThe
  primary focus is on Catalyst and the Chained dispatch method\, and techni
 ques for getting the most out of this strategy.  Employing these technique
 s allow better extensibility and flexibility.\n\nIn this talk\, we will co
 ver:\n * Benefits of chaining\n * Basic chained paths\n * Configuring chai
 ned paths\n * Using controller base classes for unifying chains\n * Troubl
 eshooting chains gone wrong \n * Exception handling\n\nKnowledge of Cataly
 st is helpful\, but not required.  A basic understanding of Object Oriente
 d principles\, such as inheritance\, will also be helpful.

DESCRIPTION:DBIx::Class is a powerful ORM that makes writing database-backe
 d applications a breeze.  Yet\, as with all ORMs\, some details are hidden
  from you.\n\nDBIx::Class::QueryLog gives you a peek into the magic that i
 s DBIx::Class.  It harnesses the internal API of DBIx::Class to "log" all 
 your queries and give you visibility into the guts of your high-level code
 .\n\nThis talk will cover the following points:\n \n* DBIx::Class' interna
 l Statistics API\n* QueryLog usage\n* Discussion if QueryLog's internals\n
 * Analyzer methods of QueryLog\n* Real-world profiling usage\n* Real-world
  bug catching\n* Other ideas for how to use QueryLog

DESCRIPTION:KiokuDB is a new Moose-based object database for Perl.  If you'
 ve ever\nwritten a database-backed application\, you know there are a few 
 steps\nyou go through every time.  You create your database schema.  Then 
 you\nbind it to Perl (hopefully with an ORM like DBIx::Class or Fey::ORM).
 \nThen you add your domain logic inside or on top of the classes that your
 \nORM.  Then\, finally\, you use those classes to interact with your\ndata
 base.\n\nKiokuDB aims to eliminate the first two steps.  With Kioku\, you 
 create\nyour domain classes\, and then just use them.  If you want to get 
 an\ninstance back later\, you store it in KiokuDB and ask Kioku for it bac
 k\nwhen you want it again.  It supports saving entire object graphs (not\n
 just trees)\, is fast\, fully transactional\, and lets you add\narbitrary 
 indexes to your data.\n\nIn this talk\, I'll show you what object database
 s are\, how to use\nKiokuDB\, and how to take advantage of KiokuDB's advan
 ced features.

DESCRIPTION:A (hopefully) fun little demonstration of how to use some of th
 e more advanced features of Moose to build a class that acquires some of i
 ts data by doing a DB search. As much a Moose tutorial as a practical exam
 ple\, this talk covers Moose features like method delegation\, constructor
  argument mangling\, lazy building\, type coercion and so on.

DESCRIPTION:Perl is a wonderful language.  It provides us with smorgasbord 
 of choices when time comes for implementation.\n\nUnfortunately these choi
 ces can be frustrating and paralyzing for potential users.\n\nMoose repres
 ents a "best practices" approach to Object Oriented Programming in Perl.  
 As the manager of a development team\, I have strong opinions on how Perl 
 makes my job difficult and how projects like Moose take away a lot of the 
 pain.\n\nWe will start with an introduction to Moose.  This introduction i
 s high level and meant to show how Moose can take away a lot of the yak-sh
 aving in day-to-day work.\n\nThe talk will then enumerate reasons why Moos
 e is So Damned Important\, how it makes our jobs easier\, and how it makes
  Perl viable for larger development groups.

DESCRIPTION:We've all seen it\, perl that can only illicit the a thunderous
  'WTF'. Unfortunately a lot of it is our old code. What do you do about it
 ?\n\nSo you've got a "big ball of mud"\, "spaghetti code"\, or just want y
 our code to be more self-documenting. Employ a few simple strategies to ma
 ke your coding easier.\n\nUse red flags\, tests\, and self-documenting cod
 e\, to refactor your code and ease your maintenance programming.\n\nSlide
