Introduction to Catalyst 5.80
This tutorial will first provide an overview of the Catalyst infrastructure and design as it exists in the 5.80/Moose world, and describe how things have changed since 5.70 and what you need to be aware of as potential gotchas when upgrading applications built for earlier versions.
Then we’ll cover the new features added directly and indirectly through the upgrade to Moose, and how these new means of using and extending Catalyst lead to new best practices for extending applications and managing complexity and maintainability over time.
There will be a practical component to this tutorial; attendees will be expected to have some knowledge of using Catalyst and a recent install on their laptops if they are going to be able to follow the exercises.

He is a core developer (and repository admin) for the Catalyst web framework, the DBIx::Class ORM and the Moose metaprotocol and object system, as well as contributing to assorted other CPAN projects.
Matt spends his days leading the technical team at Shadowcat Systems Limited, an open source consultancy specialising in Catalyst, Perl applications deployment and systems architecture.

Great job! I really enjoyed your engagement of the audience and would recommend that you hold back on being so self critical. You’ve got much to share and I think it’s worth listening to.
