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
 t modern and practical techniques in Perl, including Moose, autodie, Dev

SUMMARY:How Not to Use Memcached
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jonathan Steinert (SixApart). Many people know 
 how to use memcached, the popular caching system powering much of web1+.
   Most folks, though, don't know how not to use it, and how improper usa

 credibly grumpy DBA.  Learn what memcached is good for, and what it's no
 t good for from those that have learned the wrong way.

SUMMARY:Embracing Forks: How Git Changes Open Source Contribution
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tom Preston-Werner (GitHub). Git is a distribut
 ed version control system with easy branching that has forever changed t
 he way that open source projects accept contributions. By embracing a pa
 ttern of casual forking, the barrier to submit patches and track upstrea
 m changes is reduced, resulting in an explosion of contributors and patc
 hes. This talk will use case studies to illustrate how your project can 
 enjoy these benefits.

SUMMARY:Open Source Analytics: Visualization and Predictive Modeling of 
 Big Data with the R Programming Language
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Driscoll (Metamarkets). The age of Big 
 Data demands open-source tools that move beyond storage towards analytic
 s:  tools to turn terabytes into insights. R is an open-source language 
 for statistical computing and graphics, and an extensible, embeddable to
 ol for the analysis of large data sets. In this session, I showcase R's 
 power by building predictive models for Brazilian soybean harvests and b
 aseball slugger salaries.

 ! Come to this talk to learn about the tools that enable integrated unit
  tests for your database.
