*Talk*<br><br>* Sufficiently Advanced Technologies - Damian Conway *<br><br>In module design, interface is everything. Going one step beyond this<br>dictum, Damian demonstrates and explains several practical applications of
<br>Clarke's Law ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable<br>from magic") by presenting a series of useful modules whose interface<br>is...nothing.<br><br><br>*Damian Conway*<br><br>Damian Conway holds a
Ph.D. in Computer Science and is an Associate<br>Professor with the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering at<br>Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.<br><br>A widely sought-after speaker and trainer, he is also the author of
<br>numerous well-known software modules including: Parse::RecDescent (a<br>sophisticated parsing tool), Class::Contract (design-by-contract<br>programming in Perl), Lingua::EN::Inflect (rule-based English<br>transformations for text generation), Class::Multimethods (multiple
<br>dispatch polymorphism), Text::Autoformat (intelligent automatic<br>reformatting of plaintext), Switch (Perl's missing case statement), NEXT<br>(resumptive method dispatch), Filter::Simple (Perl-based source code<br>manipulation), Quantum::Superpositions (auto-parallelization of serial
<br>code using a quantum mechanical metaphor), and Lingua::Romana::Perligata<br>(programming in Latin). All of this software is available free from your<br>local CPAN mirror.<br><br>A well-known member of the international Perl community, Damian was the
<br>winner of the 1998, 1999, and 2000 Larry Wall Awards for Practical<br>Utility. The best technical paper at the annual Perl Conference was<br>subsequently named in his honour. He is a member of the technical<br>committee for The Perl Conference, a keynote speaker at many Open Source
<br>conferences, a former columnist for "The Perl Journal", and author of the<br>book "Object Oriented Perl". In 2001 Damian received the first "Perl<br>Foundation Development Grant" and spent 20 months working on projects for
<br>the betterment of Perl.<br><br>Currently he runs an international IT training company Thoughtstream<br>which provides programmer training from beginner to masterclass level<br>throughout Europe, North America, and Australasia.
<br><br>Most of his time is currently spent working with Larry Wall on the design<br>of the new Perl 6 programming language and producing explanatory documents<br>exploring Larry's design decisions.<br><br>Other technical areas in which he has published internationally include
<br>programming language design, programmer education, object orientation,<br>software engineering, natural language generation, synthetic language<br>generation, emergent systems, declarative programming, image morphing,
<br>human-computer interaction, geometric modelling, the psychophysics of<br>perception, nanoscale simulation, and parsing.<br><br>Hope to see you there.<br>_______________________________________________<br>wplug-announce mailing list
