SUMMARY:Finding the Swan in Squeak's Ugly Duckling
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Randal L. Schwartz (Stonehenge Consulting Servi

 ramming tool you've worked with - and mostly in good ways. Unfortunately
 , it's the bad ways that make the first impression. This hands-on tutori
 al will help you get past the unfamiliar and the unwieldy so that you ca
 n take advantage of the elegant and productive environment that lies und
 erneath.

SUMMARY:Doing Perl Right
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Paul Fenwick (Perl Training Australia), Jacinta
  Richardson (Perl Training Australia). You already know some Perl.  You'
 ve read a book, written a few scripts, maybe even a module, but are you 
 sure you're doing it right?  Languagues and techniques evolve over time,
  and Perl is no exception. This detailed tutorial covers many of the bes

SUMMARY:Zen and the Art of Abstraction Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alex Martelli (Google). Abstraction is a powerf
 ul servant, but a dangerous master.  We code, design, think, debug ... o
 n a tower of abstractions. Spolsky's Law tells us that "All abstractions
  leak". This talk explores why they leak, why that's often a problem, wh
 at to do about it; I also cover why sometimes abstractions SHOULD "leak"
 , and how best to produce and consume abstraction layers.

 ns
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Eric Day (Rackspace Cloud), Brian Aker (HP). Co
 me learn the fundamentals of how to leverage Gearman, the open-source, d

SUMMARY:R we f#¢$ed? Why We Don't Understand Risk, and How it Dooms Us A
 ll
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Danese Cooper (Wikimedia Foundation and Open So
 urce Initiative), David Smith (REvolution Computing). Risk and chance pl
 ay a huge part in our daily lives, yet the human brain doesn't come pre-
 loaded with the right software to make intuitive decisions about them. T
 his talk is to provide some illumination in the basic principles to help
  you understand and quantify risk, and to introduce you to the open-sour
 ce language R, an essential tool for finding statistical solutions to yo
 ur own problems.
