YAPCEUROPE2008.ORG | Yet Another Perl Conference in Europe

Perl Conference Features

What makes Perl Conferences special and unique. Whay you should attend.

PERL TUTORIALS

The YAPC, or ‘Yet Another Perl Conference’, is an annual event. Each year a different host city is selected. Conferences are pan-European, with English being the primary language of the event.

PERL WORKSHOPS

Workshops are typically smaller than conferences, and aim to attract a local audience. Consequently, talks are frequently given in the regional language(s), or a mix of the local language(s) and English.

PERL HACKATHONS

Hackathons are intense events where people with a common interest in a project or projects meet together to work on that project in particular. Instead of having formal talks, participants work together.

About

What is YAPC and how can we help the PERL community

Everything you LEARN will empower you to use PEARL

This YAPC Europe is a mini site of the bigger YACP Europe Foundation (YEF) which is a non-profit organization working to promote the Perl programming language in Europe primarily through public events.

The goal is to provide information for Perl events in and around Europe. The main YAPC Europe site offers an on-line registration system, mailing lists, advice, and may supply limited financial assistance.

The YAPC, or 'Yet Another Perl Conference', is an annual event. Each year a different host city is selected. Conferences are pan-European, with English being the primary language of the event.

A few of the speakers who will be attending the Perl Conferences

Working in the cloud – We are from the internet – we know the value of open source. Hardware and storage is unfortunately real, but you can outsource it all. This talk will guide you through how to exploit cloud computing today to make you happier and more efficient.

Léon Brocard (‎acme‎)

Proud to Use Perl – The Perl community has done some amazing things. It provides infrastructure, it runs conferences, it gives grants. It brings people together to enable them to write great software. In this talk, we’ll look at some of the things that makes the Perl community so great and give you a number of good reasons to be proud to use Perl.

Dave Cross (‎davorg‎)

The Camel and the Snake – “What would you get if you crossed a camel and a snake? Cake, of course!” In this talk I’m going to compare and contrast Perl and Python solutions to the same problem, looking at coding style and readability to see what Perl can learn from “the dark side”.
