Randal Schwartz: Half My Life with Perl

​As part of year 25 of The Perl Advent Calendar, Perl luminary and co-author of O’Reilly’s “Learning Perl” Randal Schwartz will be giving a presentation entitled "Half My Life with Perl".

​Randal says:

​Having been there, at the beginning with Perl, I will recount the early days through the modern era (or as much as I can cover in the time provided). I’ll deliver first-hand experience of the creation of the Camel Book, the Llama book, and the way I invaded comp.unix.questions with Perl 2 answers so often that people would post “no Perl please”. Oh, and my version of the story of the Schwartzian Transform.

​This event will be a live stream via Zoom. The stream URL will be provided as we get closer to the date.

​📹 If you can't make the live stream, don't worry — the event will be recorded and added to this year's Perl Advent Calendar.

​If you'd like to be notified about the recording, please register for the event and we'll send out a blast with the Advent Calendar URL once it has become available.
