The French Perl Workshop 2008 will take take place on Friday May 30^th and Saturday May 31^st at the Ecole des Mines d'Albi-Carmaux, in Albi. In few steps from Cathedral of Albi (78 metre high, 8 century old), we'll try to build an friendly ambience for casual discussions.

The previous French Perl Workshops highlighted that the language can handle huge developments for the industry and service.

This year we'll try to focus on the capability of Perl to support scientists and teachers. Therefore we will set up a dedicated session on the topics: research and teaching.

Le programme (presque) définitif est maintenant établi : voir le programme.

Professionals:

Developers or not, knowing Perl or any other language, they'll benefit of the expertize of some of the best Perl developers and they'll see how to apply the power of Perl on lead projects.

Academics:

Perl can be used in any of the research field, either to develop dedicated applications or to support lessons. During this workshop scientists are invited to describe of they use Perl or to discover how Perl can be used in their activities.

Students:

Why would you build your future with weaker and narrowing languages? Learning Perl will bring you the toolset to learn programming in many styles.

Amateurs:

They'll discover a dynamic, open minded community!
