The German Perl Workshop will take place in Gummersbach between 4-6 April 2018.

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.

May 18 - 19, 2018 Paris, France

September 7 - 8, 2018 Bern, Switzerland

Back in the day, the Wombles of Wimbledon collected rubbish. Nowadays, since the advent of motorised road sweepers, they’d be in need of a new profession. Perl Developer, perhaps? Our client is based in the heart of Wimbledon, under a mile away from the Common where the Wombles famously made their home.
