Summersault Weblog

Mark hasn’t had time to create a weblog entry about this yet, so I thought I would note that he recently had an article published on Perl.com entitled Rapid Website Development with CGI::Application, which is all about the popular and mature Perl CGI::Application framework for web applications. It’s definitely for geeky web developers like us, but shows how we’re keeping track of the latest trends and tools for efficiently creating robust web applications for our clients (and designing the logo for some of those tools too). Nice job, Mark!

It’s been over a week since we returned from YAPC (Yet Another Perl Conference) in Chicago, and now is a good time to recap some of the interesting and noteworthy things we learned about and observed from our three days at the conference.

A subset of the Summersault staff are here in Chicago together, about to attend the 2006 “Yet Another Perl Conference North America” conference (yapcna2006). We spent the day getting here, having Thai food for dinner and walking around Michigan avenue a bit (the Apple store had already closed). We thought when we got home we’d just hop right on the newly established DSL connection waiting for us - but it turned out to be a nightmarish slogging through poorly designed setup processes, router peculiarities, pilot error and impatience, etc. We’re online now and excited that the conference will inspire/instill a little more technical savvy than we experienced tonight. We’re hoping to post some photos and notes here as the week progresses, stay tuned.
