Beginners at YAPC
===================================================
This year's conference will have several opportunities for those new to the language and community. Starting off is the From Zero to Perl master class held the day before the conference. It's a good session for those who have programmed in other languages and want to grasp the basic constructs of Perl. During the conference will be a beginner track with topics for the first-timer. There is also the VIP, or Very Important to Perl, reception that Encourage your co-workers, friends, and students to take advantage of this opportunity to step into the Perl community.
