My YAPC::Europe 2008 in Copenaghen - Day 1

cosimo on 2008-08-13T17:24:12

My first YAPC actually. Well, it was awesome.

First of all, I saw Larry "live" for the first time. His talk was interesting to follow the status of Perl 6, but heavy for me, honestly. I didn't expect Larry to have that baritonal voice. :)

It was great to meet again in person some cool guys I met at the Oslo Hackaton the first time.

About the talks, I attended the first two about Parrot/Perl6, but I knew already most of the material. Then I attended 3 other awesome talks:

• Everything but the secret sauce by Jesse Vincent
• Cosair.org by Darko Obradovic
• Nothing can possibly go wrong (again) by Adam Kennedy. This one was particularly inspiring to me, since I happen to be preparing my first talk for the Italian Perl Workshop 2008.

Looking forward to the 2nd day!
