Title: Pass, Shoot, GOAL! Managing a football game in Perl

Length: 40

Language: English

Abstract:

Three years ago, I volunteered to handle registration for a weekly football (soccer) game in Beit Shemesh. The constraints are simple: 22 players may sign up for the game, all others are put on a waiting list until a spot opens up.

What began as a 100-line email auto-responder has evolved into a full-fledged system, connecting players by email, Web, SMS, and automated phone system -- all this, just to get people to stop calling my cellphone.

Over the course of the presentation, we will explore database and class design and access using Class::DBI, web layer construction using Template Toolkit, SMS connectivity via ICQ, and telephony with Asterisk.

Please send comments, questions etc. to the organizers.
