YAPC::NA, day two

Day two of YAPC is starting. I'm currently enjoying Matt Trout talking about DBIx::Class, and today looks like a full schedule of interesting talks.

Yesterday's eye opener was David Fetter's talk on recursive SQL - solving the Traveling Salesman Problem and doing a Mandelbrot set in ISO standard SQL. But the best part is talking to all the many perl experts here.

git

I am attending Jesse Vincent's talk on SD, a distributed bug tracker. In his talk, he just made a joke about git's manual pages.

This conference shows that git has totally won the distributed revision control war. But everybody complains that it is hard to learn and understand, and everybody who knows it claims to have a love/hate relationship with it.

I am in the middle of switching to git for some work projects, and so far I am liking it but agree it's hard to learn well enough to get started. I guess the hate part will come later, with experience.
