Wiki - Parrot Virtual Machine Workshop 2009

The Parrot VM workshop will be held on the weekend before YAPC::NA, June 20-21, 2009, on campus at Carnegie Mellon University in Newell Simon Hall. The workshop is dedicated to all things Parrot, and will include sessions on getting started with the Parrot Compiler Toolkit and NQP to implement new languages or contribute to existing ones, an introduction to PIR (one of Parrot's native languages), and a detailed look at some of the languages that run on Parrot, including Rakudo (Perl 6), Cardinal (Ruby), Pynie (Python), Tcl, and LOLCODE.

This is a pre-YAPC::NA event but it is not required that you attend YAPC|10 to attend.

Food will not be provided, however there are many places to find cheap eats nearby, and 90 minute lunch breaks will provide more than enough time.

More information about Parrot can be found at http://parrot.org.

There will be Internet access and you are encouraged to bring your computer and become a Parrot hacker. There won't be a better time to jump in.
