YAPC::EU is not just for the core Perl developers but for the community of developers of all backgrounds with an interest in Perl. For this reason we've added a 1-day beginner's class Perl Essentials to make sure everyone gets the most from the conference presentations. In addition, attending this class you will get a 6 month enrolment at Geekuni to keep up the momentum, and a taster enrolment for colleagues you'd like to up-skill on Perl.
