Talk at PHP UK Conference 2010 (English - UK)
Regular expressions, you either hate them or you love them, but do you really know how to harness their power? Based on the PCRE implementation, this talk will show you how to get the most out of your /^regex(es)?$/, how switches affect your results, how to be less greedy and let's not forget: when *not* to use regex.

I disagree. Really enjoyed the flipchart, my only gripe was that the camera could have been in a bit closer. Maybe an old-school overhead projector next time. Content was good too, room was involved and there were a bunch of valuable tips in there.

Excellent stuff. Learned a lot about advanced pattern matching. Loved the candy by the way!

Interesting overview of some of the arcane art of regex. Couldn't see screen or flipchart very well though

Good talk. Will look into examples on the web later as regex is not something I can do in my head!

Interesting talk with very good examples.
The flipchart was nice and good used, because you interact on the needs of the audience.

Great and knowledgable presentation ruined by poor flip chart. Should have been on the other side of the room so that she didn't block the camera. Almost impossible to read handwriting. However as taken as explanation at high level of PRCE it's fine.

Flying candy, and some very interesting discussion... typing on screen might have been better, but nice to see some low tech for once. Whizzy presentations aren't always good.

Well worth going to - flipchart made for good variety - should have been on the other side of the room though as others said.
Some great tips.
This was the talk that covered the most stuff that I didn't know or had never heard of.
Now to find applications for it.

Covered some great tips, as many people said. I liked the use of the flip chart, although yes, sometimes I struggled to read it, and the camera didn't always help.
But was great overall!

Flipchart was totally lame. Sitting at the back row couldn't see anything.

Poor explanation of regex, was hoping for more fu. Wanted to learn more of the complex parts of regex.
Seemed poorly prepared with no real examples.
Tried to involve the audience with chocolate throwing. Which was funny but felt like being back at school.
The flip chart made reading and learning difficult.

Sorry, didn't like the flip chart at all, not good for an audience of this size.
