The ephemeral miniconf - Mark Gardner

Speaker annoucement: Mark Gardner

The ephemeral miniconf - Mark Garder

I first followed with appetite his talk/posts about signatures then I enjoyed, as many of you (inside and outside Perl community), his regular (re)posts on his devto (but his main blog is on phoenixtrap)

It sounded like an evidence that he would be a good candidate to talk at the ephemeral miniconf!

Mark is what we really call a senior developer

His own biography says:
"Hi, I’m Mark Gardner, [...] I help professional Perl developers to engineer modern, disciplined applications in the cloud so they can become experts that write easy-to-maintain code with confidence, increase their relevance in the market and get the best positions, high salaries, and work on interesting projects."

Mark Gardner
Mark is a long time programmer and Perl developer that gave much more attention to my eyes recently.

I can add my own on top of this, I like the way he work deep (with alternatives, with implications etc...) the topics he addresses (see his work on signatures) and with several links!

The favorite blogger of your favorite blogger

We are lucky to have some great Perl bloggers and Mark is one of the leaders!

He is currently running a serie of blog posts that are even sometimes hitting the top "outside Perl bubble" to reuse a formula from him.

Conclusion

See you soon for next announcement!
