Perl 6 Tutorial at TPC in Salt Lake City

Come join me on Friday for The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Perl 6 and learn the basics of one of O'Reilly's up-and-coming languages!

We'll start with a hands-on tutorial covering the basics including the new grammar matching system and some of the newer object-oriented features, and work our way up to creating our own Perl 6 modules. I've run similar hands-on workshops at the last two European TPCs, a 3-hour version at OSCON 2 years running, and DevDays in Vilnius.

one of O'Reilly's up-and-coming languages I'm intrigued by this. Having read it several times my best guess is that this means that someone at O'Reilly is curating a list of "up-and-coming languages" and has chosen to put Perl6 on that list. Is this correct? I'd be interested to see the list to know which other languages are on it but a quick search has not turned it up. If the phrase means something else entirely then it would be good to know that too, of course. (Hope your tutorial goes well!)	[reply]

It might have been from opensource.com, but I remember it appearing on a list alongside Rust when I did the original OSCON tutorial in 2016. Admittedly it's a little dated, but I'm still promoting Perl 6, and talking at conventions like FOSDEM and DevDays. Now that I'm working remotely hopefully I can cover some more ground.	[reply]
