3rd day of workshop

02/11/08 21:01 by Jozef Kutej (‎jozef‎)

We are happy to announce that there will be also the 3rd day of the TwinCity Perl Workshop. On Sunday November 9th starting at 11:00am Jonathan Worthington will host hackathon.

The workshop provides lots of talks and, hopefully, some inspiration and ideas. The Hackathon is a chance to get together after the workshop and have time and space to do some more practical things. That doesn't have to be writing code - it's fine (and good) to use it to dig into a new project that you've not been involved with yet, discuss and bounce around ideas and so forth.
