Perl and ISmall success-story

I've been using Perl since 2005

Perl began as a hobby

Became my work

Awesome and interesting work

1. I wrote various bots, spiders, utilities,

websites, admin panels, API for mobile apps

using Perl

BTW, thanks to @nperezI used POE::Filter::SimpleHTTP :-)

2. In addition to my work I have "grown"

12 Perl developers

3. Organized RostovOnDon.pm

http://rostovondon.pm.org

40+ subscribers~3 active users :-)

4. Organized the 3 Russian Perl Workshop

Summary

Perl becomes a great tool for me

I can solve almost any task

I can solve almost any task

I hope that

:-)

Last year I decided that Perl can be a hobby

Yippee! Perl can be my hobby

again

But I need money :-)

But I need money :-)

Minimum 75€ for nlwp();

I rememberedI like mobile apps too

And I started to search a new job

where I can do my favorite things

I found it!

I'm head of mobile marketing at Ostrovok.ru

Ostrovok.ru is yet another B.com :-)

I can generate some mobile reports

Parse CSV files:map, grep, split, re, <DATA>

No Excel, only Perl, only hardcore!

Mobile dashboards, admin panels, graphics,

etc.

It's fast, useful and cool!

Simple small tasks:

1. Check redirect URL for mobile app tracking

$ MOJO_MAX_REDIRECTS=0 perl -Mojo -E 'say h(shift)->headers->location' http://...

2. Check mobile banner on the single-page

web app

use ojo; say g( 'http://ostrovok.ru', {'User-Agent' => 'Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)'}) ->dom ->at('a.mobile-banner-titie')->{href};

3. What does it mean?utm_content=%7B%22app%22%3A338590452829694%2C

%22t%22%3A1366249099%7D

use Mojo::Util;

say Mojo::Util::url_unescape $utm_content;

...

You can ask me:

– Are you tired of Perl?

No!

I like Perl 5

But I like Modern Perl

Perl 5.16, Plack/PSGI, Starman, Mojolicious,

AnyEvent, etc.

I belive that Perl can be modern, fast and easy

And it isn't Ruby, Python or JavaScript

In Perl 6 I trust

OR

In Perl 7 I trust :-)

use Perl or die;

Dank je wel!Anatoly Sharifulin
