Not this…

My Presentations

I’ve been speaking at conferences and similar events for over 10 years now. Most frequently at OSCON (Open Source Convention) but also at YAPC (Yet Another Perl Conference), Perl Workshops, and Insight Cruises (formerly Geek Cruises).

Most of my presentations, talks, tutorials etc. I’ve made freely available. Usually by uploading them somewhere or other. Since starting this blog I’ve become more conscious of the value of collecting these presentations and providing a single page to index them. This is that page.

I’ll start with the most recent and work backwards, adding details and links, as time allows.


2009

IPW09 – Italian Perl Workshop – Pisa, Italy – October

I was invited to IPW08 and had a great time. I’m looking forward to IPW09.

OSCON – O’Reilly Open Source Convention – Portland, OR – July

Session: “State-of-the-art Profiling with Devel::NYTProf” (45 minutes.)


2008

2008 has been my most active year for speaking at conferences.
Apart from the events listed here I also turned down an invitation to speak at HighLoad++ in Moscow in October. That would have been interesting, but the invite came at short notice.

IPW08 – Italian Perl Workshop – Pisa, Italy – September

I’m not sure what I’ll be speaking about yet, except that it might have something to do with Perl.

OSCON – O’Reilly Open Source Convention – Portland, OR – July

Session: “Ultimate Perl Code Profiling” (45 minutes. Rating: 4.8/5 from 11 evaluations.)

Session: “Perl and Parrot: Baseless Myths and Startling Realities” (45 minutes. Rating: 4.8/5 from 6 evaluations.)

Video Interview: “ Perl’s Persistant Library: DBI Creator Tim Bunce at OSCON 2008” with James Turner for O’Reilly News. (9 minutes. Also on YouTube) We talk about the origins of the DBI, driver extensibility mechanisms, my role in ongoing DBI design and development, and the DBIx namespace.

Perlcast: I also recorded a couple of Perlcast interviews with Josh McAdams while at OSCON. I’ll provide links once they’re published.

IOTC – Irish Open Source Technology Conference – Dublin, Ireland – June

Session: “Profiling Perl” (90 minutes. Rating “Highly Satisfied” from 6 evaluations.)

This was three talks in one: DashProfiler, Devel::NYTProf, and Perl Myths.


2007

London Perl Workshop – December

Keynote: (My first ever keynote!) I spoke about change. The big deep problems and changes in the world that are accelerating and beginning to sweep us out of the complacent stupor the last 20+ years have instilled in us. Alternating that with technology problems and changes, such as the cpu performance brick wall and the corresponding shift to concurrent programming. The rise and fall of empires, contrasted with the rise and fall of programming languages. Creative Destruction and Perl 6. Perl is a language uniquely suited to change. (20 minutes, 48 slides, mostly images).
