T1. An Introduction to Python, Tutor: John Pinner (Clockwork Software Systems)
Abstract: For people who may have some programming knowledge in other
languages and want to fast track into Python. You will get to know the
Python interpreter and look at Python’s introspective features, moving onto data types, sequences and dictionaries and finally functions and modules.
T2. A Perl Teach in, Tutor: Dave Cross (Magnum Solutions)
Abstract: This tutorial covers some of the more advanced Perl topics
that may be missing from your Perl programming knowledge. Topics include: CPAN tools, templating, ORM, testing, benchmarking and object oriented Perl.
T3. Building the Network You Need with PF, Tutor: Peter N. M. Hansteen
Abstract: This tutorial focuses on building the high performance, low maintenance network you need. We shall explore the whys and hows and cover all bases from the basic one machine configuration and basic local area networks, all the way up to configurations with traffic shaping and load balancing with “self healing” networks and countermeasures against common problems such as DoS attempts and spamming. A basic understanding of TCP/IP and some Unix knowledge is assumed.
A two day conference (with parallel streams) will take place on Tuesday
1st & Wednesday 2nd April.
All Conference delegates receive a free place at the Conference Dinner (Tues 1st April).
