Magnum Solutions Return as Workshop Sponsors

There are some things that you know you can always rely on but it would be a mistake to take them for granted. Dave Cross and Magnum Solutions providing quality training, presentations and talks at the London Perl Workshop fits neatly into that description. In fact Dave maybe a singular definition of the word reliable and I would personally throw in steadfast, humourous, entertaining, friendly and quality as almost-superlatives to always be associated.
Dave is a stalwart member of the London Perl landscape and his influence on it cannot be easily measured, so it is an enormous pleasure when he once again returns with vim and vigour to the London Perl Workshop.
As in every other year Dave will be presenting a classroom lecture, talks and probably lightning talks at the event. The lecture (always fun and always popular) is detailed below. There are other duties and tasks that Dave performs in the community and connected to the event that only the organisers and helpers really get to see and his consistency and enthusiasm is a blessing.
It is a personal privilege that Dave has sponsored his time, efforts, ceaseless support as a sponsor and a friend during my tenure as organiser of the London Perl Workshop and a great honour to have him return in my final year.
Modern Perl Catch-Up
You're a busy person. How on earth are you supposed to keep up to date with everything that's going on in the Perl world? Every new release (and they happen relentlessly - every year) seems to have important changes to the language and if you don't keep up you'll run the risk of using last season's trendy new operator.
Give me two hours of your time and I'll give you an overview of everything you need to know about what has changed in Perl in the last few years. I'll even give you some tips on how you might keep up to date a little more easily in the future.
