Perl 6 Cookbook

Perlsphere: Perl 6 Cookbook

In my I decided to prepare a one day training class for Perl 6. Part of
the plan will be to implement the relevant parts of the 414 recipes found
in the 2nd edition of the Perl 5 Cookbook by Nathan Torkington and Tom
Christiansen.

I know there was an effort in the Pugs repository to do so along the
PLEAC - Programming Language Examples Alike Cookbook project but I think
it will be fun to try to write all the examples by myself reading again
the Perl 5 Cookbook and trying to write everything using
Padre::Plugin::Perl6 and running over the latest version of Rakudo.

In general I plan to write one recipe a day but I am sure some of them
will be either trivial or irrelevant for Perl 6. Others might not yet be
available in the Rakudo implementation of Perl 6.

Part of the real cookbook can be read online on Google books

Perlsphere: New Year’s Resolutions

I already had one a couple of month ago Shana Tova - New Year’s
resolution so now a few other items.

1. Keep writing Padre, the perl IDE.

2. Offer the Test Automation using Perl 5 training class in Europe.

3. Send more articles to the Test Automation Tips.

4. Prepare a one-day training class for Perl 6 and start offering it.

5. But most urgently, help preparing the annual accounting papers on
time

Moving my Perl blogging from use.perl.org

Perlsphere: Moving my Perl blogging from use.perl.org

Joining several others, I’m moving my Perl blogging off of use.perl.org.
My personal Perl blog posts will be here.

I sometimes write about Perl on my company blog here.

On my own site, I’ll be able to see my own traffic stats, control the
SEO, and provide a unique design. I think having a plurality of blogs
promoting and discussing Perl is a good thing.

My perl feed also appears as one of the feeds on Perl Sphere.
