Hi there, A fortnight ago Timm Murray and Steve Bertrand, two long time Perl developers, have started to write an eBook and started a crowdfunding campaign to gauge interest and to support their work. Their fund-raising goal is very modest only $2,500, but if the campaign reached $4,000 they will add some extra chapters. In the first 2 weeks they raised $1,361 by 55 backers (54%). Let's show them the Perl Weekly readers are interested in their book and are ready to give them some coins to support the range of Perl-related books. Let's help them reach their goal! Support the campaign now! ... then go ahead and enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

It can get a little repetitive writing job ads for Perl Developer positions. Fundamentally, what have we even got to talk about here? Well… |
|
The best thing – in my opinion, anyway – about working for a development team led by an active member of the London Perl community, is that you know management love Perl, support using the best available Perl tooling, and will create a technical environment where Perl developers will be happy. You will be happy here! |

Ever find yourself wishing you could see meaningful impact on users from your work? Trapped in a company with long release cycles and dubious release dates? Wish your ideas for product improvement didn’t keep disappearing in to the Project Manager’s backlog? |
