Modern Perl for the Unfrozen Paleolithic Perl Programmer discusses many changes to Perl and its ecosystem since 2001 when the caveman programmer fell into a glacier. Some key changes include Perl version 5.22, new language features like defined-or and subroutine signatures, and tools like Perlbrew, Plenv and cpanm. Modern web development uses Plack/PSGI instead of CGI.pm. The speaker recommends modules like JSON::MaybeXS, Moose/Moo and websites like CPAN Ratings, MetaCPAN and Perl Weekly to stay up-to-date.
Modern Perl for the Unfrozen Paleolithic Perl ProgrammerJohn Anderson
Hello, unfrozen Paleolithic Perl programmers! Welcome to 2015!
First, let’s start with the good news: yes, we’re still programming in Perl5 in 2015 (and yes, we think that’s good news). Indeed, most of the code you wrote in the past, before that unfortunate "Big Giant Hole in Ice" incident, will likely still work just fine on the current release of Perl5 -- even if you originally wrote it against Perl 4 or even Perl 3.
Here’s the bad news: there’s been an incredible amount of innovation in not only Perl5-the-language, but also in Perl5-the-community and what the community considers to be accepted best practices and the right way to do things. It can be very frightening and confusing!
But wait, there’s more good news: if you come to this talk, you’ll get a guided tour of my (reasonably opinionated) views on what the consensus best practices are around issues such as which version of Perl5 to use, system Perl versus non-system Perl, Perl5 installation management packages, new language features and libraries to use, old language features and libraries to avoid, modern tooling, and even more!
Swift is an exciting new language developed by Apple as a replacement for ObjectiveC. It has a modern clean syntax, strong inferential typing support, and uses automatic reference counting to streamline memory management and prevent numerous types of errors. Swift focuses on providing a "safe" compiled language but manages to have an easy-to-learn scripting language "feel".
The language was originally released in 2014, but after it was released as an Open Source project in late 2015, there has been an explosion of interest and work in the language. It's been ported to multiple non-MacOS platforms (e.g, Linux and Android) and extended to support server-side programming in addition to being able to target MacOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
This talk will present an overview of the development of Swift, review the basic syntax of the language, and discuss some of the philosophy behind its design. After attending this talk, you'll be poised to dive into Swift coding for yourself!

Web applications are becoming increasingly more complex, so deployment is not just transferring files with FTP anymore. We will go over the different challenges and how to deploy our PHP applications effectively, safely and consistently with the latest tools and techniques. We will also look at tools that complement deployment with management, configuration and monitoring.

Developers need to be able to run an application on an environment as closely matched to production as possible. We can already do this through Vagrant.The problem with Vagrant is that it is slow and takes a lot of resources both in cpu and space. Docker doesn't have this problem and gives you a tool to create hundreds of different application environments on the same machine and distribute them through a registry. As Git replaced SVN, so has Docker replaced vagrant for application environment setups.Leave the future behind, own today (like a boss).

Mapping Human-Centric Product Vision (ProductCamp Boston 2016)ProductCamp Boston
Let’s borrow a page from design thinking to quickly bring stakeholders together as they see the experience through the customer’s eyes, and begin to understand challenges users face.
Sketch a customer journey map for early cross-functional consensus and human-centered product vision.
1. Start with an empathy map activity
2. Identify a primary user scenario
3. Identify touch points and channels in the user scenario
4. Map the journey (scenario) with an affinity diagram activity capturing all interaction and emotional highs and lows
In the end, the team will have:
• gained internal consensus on what the customer experience should be across channels
• established assumptions about the customer’s mindset and goals that can inform user research and product planning
• begun to communicate a new, customer-centric product vision and framework for telling the product story and creating user stories
These collaborative sessions can be as short as 90 minutes to 2 hours, but we’ll cover it in 30 minutes.

Living in the Day of Judgment Tract Series #2: No More Salvationfeedsheep1600
Upon saving the last one of His elect, God ended the
possibility of salvation for the unsaved people of the world by
shutting the door of heaven on May 21, 2011. From that
point forward, not one person anywhere in the world has
become saved. Once God shut the door of heaven (a
spiritual door that no man could ever see while it was open:
nor could they see once it was shut) each person’s spiritual
condition was permanently fixed and established. The
following Scriptures have now taken effect:
Revelation 22:10-11 And he saith unto me, Seal not the
sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be
righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Resilient Supply Chains: How to Dynamically Manage Risk, Opportunity, and Bus...IHS
Supply chain disruptions are occurring at an alarming rate. An unrelenting barrage of man-made risk and natural disasters has made a profound and highly-visible impact on many global operations. Despite immediate attention on short term recovery, companies affected experience sustained, long-term impacts to share price, shareholder value, and operating performance.
Companies can no longer afford to be unprepared for the inevitability of disruption. As simple players within large, globally-integrated supply chains, they must become resilient to the volatile factors threatening sustained performance. And, resilience will only be achieved when companies master the ability to sense and respond to changes -- before they occur.
Join this 1-hour webcast where IHS experts will discuss supply chain risk and outline the importance of becoming resilient:
Who is at risk from supply chain disruption?
What does it mean to be resilient?
Where do traditional approaches to risk fail?
Why are leaders re-tooling their super-lean supply chains?
How can your organization sense and respond to change?

CEO Branding: Why, When and How to Use the CEO in Corporate CommunicationFINN
Research shows that the impact of the CEO in internal and external communication can hardly be overestimated. For stakeholers, "his master's voice" is the most credible and reliable source to learn about a company's strategy, mission, values and culture.
And corporate communications teams are clearly taking note. As is evident from the way companies like Twitter, Square and Microsoft position their chief executives Jack Dorsey and Satya Nadella, companies are working hard to leverage the full star power of their CEOs to get their strategic messages out.
FINN presents its framework for using the CEO in corporate communication, along with practical tips to start creating a useful and compelling CEO brand that aligns with the overall corporate communication strategy.

Packaging is the Worst Way to Distribute Software, Except for Everything Elsemckern
As part of the 2014 USENIX Release Engineering Summit West, I presented a talk about packaging software and what's wrong with current trends.
Here's the abstract:
Reliably distributing software is a notoriously difficult problem, and almost every operating system and programming language vendor has tried to solve it. This has led to a herd of packaging systems, almost none of which are cross-compatible; some manage system-level software, while others focus on extending their own language (often by trampling on system-level software). And like all competing standards, every packaging system comes with its own sharp corners, dull edges, and hidden idiosyncrasies to deal with along the path to packaging happiness. In an attempt to answer the question "How do I install this software and ensure that its dependencies are fulfilled?", some novel solutions have begun to see popular adoption. But a lot of these newer tools and techniques tread the same ground as their predecessors while overlooking the lessons that were learned along the way.
I'll talk about the state of native packaging systems on some popular platforms (Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS/Fedora, and Mac OS X), packaging systems for popular languages (Ruby, Python, Perl, and Node) and the ways that developers are attempting to work around the limitations of these systems. I'll review the reasons that tools like curlbash, FPM, and omnibus packages have become popular by sharing lessons I've learned while working through these systems. While this will be an amusing presentation, I'll show how native packages can address the concerns that have pushed Release Engineers and Developers away. I will also talk about what native packaging systems can learn from the next generation of packaging tools.

Madison PHP 2015 - DevOps For Small TeamsJoe Ferguson
DevOps is a large part of a company of any size. In the 9+ years that I have been a professional developer I have always taken an interest in DevOps and have been the "server person" for most of the teams I have been a part of. I would like to teach others how easy it is to implement modern tools to make their everyday development and development processes better. I will cover a range of topics from "Stop using WAMP/MAMP and start using Vagrant", "version control isn't renaming files", "Automate common tasks with shell scripts / command line PHP apps" and "From Vagrant to Production".

PHP Mega Meetup, Sep, 2020, Anti patterns in phpAhmed Abdou
PHP is one of the easiest programming languages to use ever and powers more than half of the internet.
With this ease of use, certain common patterns emerge that become harmful. This is especially true when your product or service is not expected to die soon. Some anti-patterns are coding, others are related to operating your service, especially with new docker stacks. We will go over some of the most common pitfalls with a focus on enterprise development.

Introduction to Git (even for non-developers)John Anderson
Git is a revision control system that is used for many Open Source projects. Having a basic understanding of Git is essential being able to join an Open Source project and become a contributor. It's also super useful for many other activities! This talk will explore the basics of Git, assuming no existing background experience. Via analogies to other, familiar technolgies, the basic principles of using Git will be explained in an approachable, understandable fashion. People who attend this talk should come away ready to make an initial contribution to an Open Source project, and will leave with a list of additional resources to explore to learn more.
Git is a powerful, critical, yet poorly understood tool that virtually all Open Source developers use. One of the key features that git provides is a powerful and comprehensive log that displays the history of all the changes that have happened in a project, including potential developments that weren't ever merged, details about former versions of software that can inform future development, and even such mundane details as whether development on feature A started before or after development of bugfix B.
Despite the power and utility of git's log, few developers take full advantage of it. Worse, some common practices that developers have adopted in the name of convenience (or just plain cargo culting) can actually destroy this useful information. Moreover, if developers are following the common exhortation to "commit often", they may end up with logs full of uninteresting noise, as all the details of debugging attempts and experiments are inadvertently recorded.
This talk will:
* detail the potential benefits of having informative and well structured logs
* discuss common developer habits that can make logs less useful
* explain techniques to preserve informative development history

When learning a new language, some folks prefer to read the language documentation, or work through simple exercises like you might find on http://exercism.io — but I prefer to have something more like an actual project. I find that holds my focus a little better, and that I do a better job of absorbing the new language syntax and features if I’m using them for something real.
In this talk, I’m going to outline why writing a static website generator is the perfect task for this sort of language learning project. I’ll cover the code you’ll need to write in order to develop a simple template-based website generation system, and show how this particular project actually manages to hit all the points you need to understand to claim basic understanding of a language.
An Introduction to Git (even for non-developers)John Anderson
Git is a revision control system that is used for many Open Source projects. Having a basic understanding of Git is essential to being able to join an Open Source project and become a contributor. It’s also super useful for many other activities! This talk will explore the basics of Git, assuming no existing background experience. Via analogies to other, familiar technolgies, the basic principles of using Git will be explained in an approachable, understandable fashion. People who attend this talk should come away ready to make an initial contribution to an Open Source project, and will leave with a list of additional resources to explore to learn more.
You got chocolate in my peanut butter! .NET on Mac & LinuxJohn Anderson
Microsoft has open sourced .NET and made it cross-platform on Mac and Linux, and done a surprisingly great job of it. In this talk I'll walk you through creating a simple .NET app — LIVE — on a Mac, and I won't use the mouse even once — that's how good the CLI support is. It's easy, and more importantly, it's useful.
The .NET Core tooling has made a believer of me — come see for yourself just how good the new open source .NET Core is!

Old Dogs & New Tricks: What's New with Perl5 This CenturyJohn Anderson
Perl5? Isn't that language dead? No, wait, wasn't it replaced by Perl6? Neither is true, but if you haven't paid attention to the Perl world since a year beginning with the digit '1', you've missed a lot of great new stuff! This talk will get you up to speed on Perl5 in 2018, with a focus on new language features, best practices, and even why you might want to learn Perl if you don't know it.

Swift was originally released in 2014, and Open Sourced by Apple in late 2015. The Open Source release generated an explosion of community interest and support, resulting in ports to other platforms and significant language changes. Swift version 3, which reflects the results of much of this work, was released in September of 2016, bringing with it some significant refinements to the core language and a new package manager.
Swift is a multi-paradigm language, supporting imperative, functional, and object-oriented programming styles. The language is strongly typed but has extensive support for type inference and substantial tooling available in XCode to identify and in some cases automatically fix common programming errors. Swift uses a memory management strategy called automatic reference counting (ARC), freeing programmers from the tedium of manually managing memory allocation. This combination of strong typing, maximal type inference, automatic reference counting (ARC), and excellent tooling results in an experience that can be described as “the Macintosh of programming languages”.
This talk will present some of the history of the development of Swift with emphasis on how the Open Source release of the language kick-started activity, review the basic syntax of Swift (with comparisons to similar languages that attendees may be more familiar with), and describe what tools are available to help learn the language, including XCode, the Swift REPL available from XCode, and the new Swift Playgrounds for iPad that debuted with Swift 3 and iOS10. After attending this talk, an attendee with no previous Swift experience will understand exactly why they should be excited about this relatively new programming language and be up to date on exactly what they need to do to dive into Swift coding for themselves.

Logs Are Magic: Why Git Workflows and Commit Structure Should Matter To YouJohn Anderson
Git is a powerful, critical, yet poorly understood tool that virtually all Open Source developers use. One of the key features that git provides is a powerful and comprehensive log that displays the history of all the changes that have happened in a project, including potential developments that weren't ever merged, details about former versions of software that can inform future development, and even such mundane details as whether development on feature A started before or after development of bugfix B.
Despite the power and utility of git's log, few developers take full advantage of it. Worse, some common practices that developers have adopted in the name of convenience (or just plain cargo culting) can actually destroy this useful information. Moreover, if developers are following the common exhortation to "commit often", they may end up with logs full of uninteresting noise, as all the details of debugging attempts and experiments are inadvertently recorded.
This talk will:
* detail the potential benefits of having informative and well structured logs
* discuss common developer habits that can make logs less useful
* explain techniques to preserve informative development history
JSON Web Tokens, or JWTs, are a standardized way of representing a JSON-based data structure and transmitting it between two parties. JWTs rely on cryptographic signatures which ensure that the data transmitted in the JWT isn’t modified during transit. JWTs are designed to be extremely compact—small enough to be transmitted in an HTTP header, for example—and can be used in a variety of ways: as authorization tokens, client-side data storage, or even for the implementation of single sign on (SSO) solutions. They’re based on a very simple and elegant algorithm that’s easy to understand and quickly put to use. JWT implementations are available in virtually every programming language in common use for Web and mobile development.
Unfortunately, learning how to use JWTs can be complicated by the terminology that’s commonly used. “Claims,” “signatures,” “body,” “payload”—a large part of learning how JWTs work is deciphering these buzzwords and understanding how they map onto more familiar programming terms. This talk will focus on reducing this barrier to entry and making JWTs understandable to any programmer.
This talk will cover:
the structure of a JSON Web Token
the algorithm for generating one
available libraries and tooling
some common scenarios where JWTs can be used.
Particular emphasis will be given as to when and why JWTs provide for better solutions than other methods. Attendees should come away from this talk with a full understanding of how to use JWTs for a variety of purposes, and be ready and eager to put JWTs into use in both personal and professional contexts.
Old Dogs & New Tricks: What's New With Perl5 This CenturyJohn Anderson
The Perl programming language has a somewhat checkered reputation. People enjoy ranting about the supposed “read-only” nature of the language, and war stories of having to maintain horrible legacy Perl codebases are a popular feature of after-hours gatherings at programming conferences around the world. But, as Bjarne Stroustrup notes, “There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses”—and Perl also enjoys a reputation as a language that gets pulled out when you need just a bit more “oomph” on the command line than you can muster up with bash, sed, awk, and friends.
The thing that most people don’t realize is that the Perl5 community, after a brief period of reduced activity in the early 2000s, has regained velocity and organization, and has produced new stable language releases (with new features!) for the last 6 years (and counting). During that period of time, the community consensus around issues such as installation management, deployment, and other best practices has undergone significant evolution. New libraries and frameworks have been introduced and have replaced older standards that you may be familiar with. (CGI.pm? No more!) As people from the Perl community have gained experience with newer languages and frameworks, they’ve brought new ideas from those systems back into the Perl fold, either adding them to the core language or to libraries available on the CPAN. The result combines all the stability from Perl’s overarching commitment to backwards compatibility with support for the newest protocols and programming paradigms.
This talk will summarize significant new features that have been added to the core language, discuss tooling options for managing Perl installations, explain the community consensus on best practices around deployments and which competing libraries to use for particular purposes, and generally get you up to speed on how the Perl5 community thinks about development in Perl in 2017.

Friends Don't Let Friends Browse Unencrypted: Running a VPN for friends and f...John Anderson
In late March 2017, Congress passed a law making it possible for your ISP to sell sensitive private information about their customers -- including their detailed browsing history. Interest in VPN services immediately spiked. But using a VPN doesn't actually solve this problem, it just pushes it further downstream -- because there's nothing preventing your VPN provider from doing similiar undesirable things. That's not to mention that more than half the VPNs in the Google Play store don't actually encrypt your web traffic.
So, how are you going to protect yourself? More over, how are you going to help your less technically sophisticated friends and family protect themselves? Chances are, if you're at this conference, you have the technical skills to set up and run your own VPN service, which you can also make available to friends and family. (There's even a chance that all of you using the VPN together might provide better cover for your collective privacy.)
Attendees at this talk will learn about various Open Source alternatives that simplify setting up a VPN. The talk will discuss the pros and cons of hosting this VPN service within the US, versus outside the US. Enabling the VPN on a per-computer basis versus a whole network approach will also be discussed. Other, related, privacy-enhancing services (such as centralized ad blocking) will also be covered.
With great nerdery comes great responsibility -- come learn how you can help yourself and your friends and family preserve their privacy!

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
3. I'M JUST A CAVEMAN
YOUR MODERN PERL
FRIGHTENS AND CONFUSES ME
I was inspired to give this talk by a few online friends who happen to be Perl programmers -- but they're not engaged with the community, they're just using Perl to get a
job done, and there's a widening gulf between what I think is reasonable and what they're doing -- so I wanted to put together sort of an info dump
13. Unicode
support!
You probably don't remember Unicode -- it was around in 2001, but not terribly important or very well understood. It's way too complicated to get into here, just know
that now we can get _really_ expressive in our Perl code
30. advantages
• Solves "vendor Perl lockin" issues
• Install multiple Perls in your home directory
• ... or elsewhere
• Trivially switch from Perl version to Perl version
• Able to install modules without special permissions
• Easy to stay up to date with Perl development
either one of these tools will give you numerous advantages over using the system perl
31. plenv > perlbrew
• Less magic messing around with PATH
• Can "pin" Perl different ways: globally, per-shell, or
per-directory
personally, i'm using plenv these days -- the ability to easily specify a Perl version for a particular project is particularly useful to me
35. local::lib
• Install your own copies of modules
• In your $HOME (so no special permissions needed)
• Can also install per-project modules
• Integrates well with other tools
46. https://metacpan.org/
things like a syntax-highlighted source view, linking to home pages and code repos, showing test results, and the amount of activity in a project
48. Duck Duck Go
we also have a new search engine here in 2016. it's cool, and it's partially written in Perl
49. Duck Duck Go
!cpanm
The most useful feature, though, is ability to use 'bang searches' to restrict your search to a particular site - this is how you search metacpan
50. speaking of modules...
if you haven't been playing close attention (and since you were frozen, you haven't been!) there are a few new modules you may have missed
51. JSON::MaybeXS
anybody doing web development these days needs to interact with JSON - using JSON::MaybeXS will make sure that you have a JSON library available, picking the best
one from a number of alternatives
52. Moose
Moo
To get a handle on how we do OOP in Perl these days, you should look into Moose -- and then when you're ready to write some code, you'll probably be able to get
away with dropping down to Moo
55. Plack
But the current standard for web development in Perl is Plack/PSGI. Offers a number of advantages over CGI, and is the basis for all modern Perl web frameworks
56. speaking of Perl websites…
we have quite a few new websites these days, which make it easier to keep up with the current state of things
57. http://cpanratings.perl.org/
one of the problems with cpan is there's just _so_ _much_ _stuff_ there. it can be hard to decide which one of a dozen different modules to use. cpanratings helps with
this problem
66. http://blogs.perl.org/users/sawyer_x/
and in a recent development, sawyer has revived the p5p weekly email summary -- excellent if you want to keep up with what's going on with perl5 development but
don't have time to follow the email list yourself
