2011.08.04 in #2European speaking schedule of Damian Conway
If you happen to be in or near Lisbon, Oslo, Lausanne, Zurich or Riga in the next few weeks you are lucky as Damian Conway comes to your city. In some places he gives free talks while in others he provides public training classes. I am going to attend one of his classes in Riga.
2011.11.05 in #15Public Perl Training classes in Australia
Damian Conway is going to give 4 public training classes in Melbourne and Brisbane. I guess I don't need to explain why is it great to hear the Perl Best Practices from its author but maybe the Presentation Aikido needs a bit more push. I was lucky to see part of this presentation at YAPC::EU in Riga. It is great. If you give talks (e.g. at conferences or in your company) it is worth attending.
2011.12.01 in #23Coding By Numbers - Episode 31 (Perl)
Steve Dalton and Craig Aspinall are discussing Perl with Jacinta Richardson, Paul Fenwick and Damian Conway during OSDC. It is a 45-min long podcast in Australian, but to my surprise, I understood most of the words.
2012.03.28 in #36Why I love my job
Damian Conway tells us why he loves his job. I only saw part of his Presentation Aikido class, but I saw several other presentations by Damian. I can really recommend him! (Not that he needs my recommendation :)
2012.04.04 in #37Returning to Zurich

2013.10.07 in #116Perl::Critic for the Camel
Tom Christiansen started discussing the idea to create a set of Perl::Critic rules that will cover the recommendations of the Camel book (aka. Programming Perl). In case you don't know, Perl::Critic is the implementation of the recommendation from the book 'Perl Best Practices' written by Damian Conway. It is extendable and can server as a great tool to make sure your code follows recommended practices.
2014.01.31 in #132Back to Zurich
Damian Conway is going to be back in Zurich giving a few training classes. Get ready!

2014.03.24 in #140Make Your Live Demo Flawless!
Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer created App::Cleo, a tool to create keyboard typing mock-ups. It can replay whatever you do in the terminal, making live demonstrations nicer. A couple of other solutions are mentioned in the comment section including script/scriptreplay and IO::Prompter by Damian Conway.

2018.03.12 in #346A decade of classes in Lausanne
Wow, these classes are practically free. With Damian. In Switzerland. What else could I want. If I did not have a previous commitment on those days I'd surely go. The low prices will totally offset the extra chocolate I'd eat there.

The "best practice" solution is a technique known as suffix trees, which requires some moderately complex coding. However, we can get very reasonable performance for strings up to hundreds of thousands of characters long using a much simpler approach.
