Perl is a powerful and flexible language/tool for creating awesome software.

The YAPC (Yet Another Perl Conference) is is an annual continental event hosted by the Perl community including talks, workshops and debates about everything Perl.

This year, YAPC::Brasil will be hosted at Taubaté, a countryside town in the State of São Paulo, in September 18th through 20. Several of the great local and international names of the Perl community will be attending.

Given that 2015 celebrates the 15th birthday of CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, our focus will be on the more than 130 thousand modules available in the archive. The celebration will include a hackathon to fix existing modules as well as creating and submitting new ones.

We invite you to come check out what is new and modern about productive software development using the Perl language.

Our main goal with this event is to join Perl developers, enthusiasts, users as well as whoever is plainly curious about the language. The event is rooted on the Brazilian Perl Mongers, and the conference is intended to celebrate the Perl language and it's accessibility to everyone interested in software development and IT in general, at all skill and knowledge levels.

Come find out what moves companies like Amazon, booking.com, as well as BBC's portal and President Obama's Support website.
