Dynamic HTML 5 using jQuery for Perl Programmers
Pete Krawczyk will be giving a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 that he describes as:
This talk is intended for audiences who are familiar with Perl and have some experience with HTML and CSS, but little or no JavaScript/jQuery experience. Source code will be provided before the talk; attendees are encouraged to download and follow along.
We’ll migrate a to-do list app that allows adding, deleting and rearranging of tasks.We’ll start with a pure Perl/CGI/HTML4 implementation and migrate it to a dynamic Perl/jQuery application using HTML5. Along the way, we’ll discuss JavaScript, JSON and XML, event-based programming, AJAX and asynchronous requests.

My little part in the greater Perl world.
I'd like to attend but can't. Will it be recorded?
We currently have not made plans for recording YAPC at this time. Not that we won't, just that we have no formal plans in place yet.
Please do! Video hosting should not be a problem nowadays, with YouTube and all. And this will help Perl by reaching to 100x-1000x more audience than is possible with a physical conference.
