The Talks

Steve Pitchford - Your idea is dangerous and must be crushed

Steve is a certified product owner - having attended, with varying degrees of success, Mike Cohns Product Owner training workshop. I've also attended a number of workshops and tutorials with other recognised Scrum Trainers and coaches. In this talk, Steve shares some of his professional experiences of Agile, from a software engineer turned product owner perspective, and attempts to tie them into the underlying processes, knowledge and experiences taught and demonstrated by the experts in the field.

James Green * - Regular expressions you need to stop writing

My plan is to pick 3-4 examples from the various perl help channels on IRC where people have attempted to use regular expressions to solve a problem, and talk through the better approaches they should have been using, including a brief introduction to Parser::MGC.

Colin Newell - Developing with Catalyst as securely as possible

A talk on the security things to pay attention to while developing an application using Catalyst.  It won't cover
everything, but I'll hopefully cover a lot of the major things that need attention.
