What is a YAPC
YAPC stands for Yet Another Perl Conference. These conferences were created as an affordable alternative to existing conferences. YAPC conferences are open to all. They provide an opportunity for face to face exchange where all attendants can learn, perfect, teach.
An european version of this conference exists since the year 2000. The 2010 edition was organized in Pisa (Italy). The 2011 editon took place in Riga (Latvia).

What is Perl
Besides being a precious jewel outside the ICT world, Perl stands for Practical Extraction and Report Language and was invented by Larry Wall as an efficient means to process log files. Today in its fifth major revision, the language has become an extensive toolset suitable to just about any programming task.
Perl makes easy things easy and hard things possible.

Social Event
In the evening we will go to a typical cosy restaurant in Brussels as a Social Event.
Because a workshop is not only about keeping up with the latest technologies and innovations coming out from the Perl community but also a chance to meet and socialize with other people with similar interests. And perhaps a Monty Python Fluxx or another Fluxx game to discover and play.
