DESCRIPTION:What is Selenium? Selenium is a tool to test the content creati
 on of your web pages. Selenium is written in HTML and Javascript\, but has
  the\nability to support other test frameworks via it's own Selenium Remot
 e Control server.\n\nThis talk looks at how to install and set up Selenium
 \, explains a basic set of test scripts\, with a live demo to show how it 
 all works.

DESCRIPTION:Ajax is a technique that enables web developers to create inter
 active applications by replacing the standard "load a new page on each cli
 ck" model with the event-driven model of rich-client GUI development. \n\n
 This talk introduces the OpenThought library\, available for both Perl and
  PHP\, which abstracts the technical details of Ajax into an elegant and l
 ightweight API.

DESCRIPTION:Many useful programs take arguments and configuration options. 
 It's easy to add one or two\, but as your program gains more features\, th
 e difficulty of allowing configuration concisely and intelligently also gr
 ows. \n\nThis talk demonstrates how to unify argument and configuration pr
 ocessing in a way that keeps your code readable and concise\, and also sim
 plifies the interface for end-users.

DESCRIPTION:In many ways Perl is a lot like many other languages. But it's 
 also a lot different from many other languages - particularly the ones peo
 ple tend to learn at college.\n\nFor two and a half hours\, we'll go into 
 the basic syntax of Perl and hopefully at the end there will be a few more
  people around wanting to take some of the many Perl jobs on offer in Lond
 on.\n\nThere's a lot to get through in a relatively short time\, so we'll 
 be moving pretty quickly.

DESCRIPTION:Let's talk about Bayesian classifiers. They're everywhere. They
  filter your spam\, recommend new links\, and categorize web pages.\n\nWhy
  are they so omnipresent? Because the math behind them is simple to unders
 tand\, and simple to implement. So simple\, in fact\, that we'll do it in 
 an hour.\n\nI'll go over Bayes' theorem and how it relates to classificati
 on. I'll walk you through creating basic tokenization\, training\, and tes
 ting functions. Then we'll categorize stuff.\n\nBring your laptops. Even t
 hough there's no wireless\, your editor and perl should still work\, and y
 ou can still code along.

DESCRIPTION:The Perl DBI now includes DBD::Gofer -- a new stateless-proxy t
 echnology with pluggable transport layers. It's the "next big thing" for P
 erl DBI. Do you need high availability? Connection pooling? Scaling to tho
 usands of clients? Result-set caching? Connect over unreliable links?\n\nB
 y avoiding the need for a permanent connection to a stateful proxy server\
 , proxy requests can be treated more like web requests. Proven web technol
 ogies can then be applied to your Perl DBI database traffic. Come and see 
 how DBD::Gofer can make your life easier.

DESCRIPTION:The performance of an application or service often depends on t
 he performance of a few key back-end services\, such as databases\, networ
 k filesystems\, dns\, web-services etc.\n\nHow much time is spent waiting 
 for those back-end services? If your application gets slow\, which service
 s are contributing most to the slowness?\n\nDashProfiler provides very lig
 htweight and flexible mechanism to measure time spent in the code that's m
 ost important to you\, aggregated by context that's meaningful to you.

DESCRIPTION:Most Perl developers know DBI as a convenient module that provi
 des a standard interface to various relational databases.\n\nMany extensio
 ns to DBI exist: this talk examines DBIx::Class and its related modules.  
 Developers considering using more than plain DBI might find this talk inte
 resting.\n\nDBIx::Class translates database records to Perl objects\, deal
 ing not only with simple mappings between the two\, but also complex relat
 ionships that help developers work with legacy databases and optimise thei
 r code's performance.
