As a special offer, people who will attend one of these courses will have a free pass to YAPC::EU (http://yapc.mongueurs.net). We need 6 people per course (out of a maximum of 8 ) that commit before 15 June. This is essential to us because failure to do so will compromise the coming of these gurus to YAPC::EU that is conditionnally sponsored by pythagore-fd ... except if TPF is kind enough to help us.
Please, note: 1/ the 2 courses can be taken in succession so that one first learn Perl, then learn how to do CGI in Perl. ...Or how to become a Perl CGI wizard from scratch in six days. 2/ the last day of MJD's course overlap the first day of YAPC. BooK will send a mail like this one to people already registered to YAPC.
