In the heady enthusiasm of all the fun things we are doing at this
year's London Perl Workshop I may have missed telling you all when
the workshop will be....<br>
<br>
London Perl Workshop: Saturday 7th November 09:00-18:30 - University
of Westminster, Cavendish Campus.<br>

This year we will be presenting a Sponsored Arduino Workshop with
part-sponsored equipment. Adrian McEwan and Hakim Cassimally will
present a 4 hour workshop (split into two parts) focussing on the
Arduino and Internet of Things.</p>

play with more electronics or code depending on your interests.</p>
