Well structured, interesting talk. Good speaker. In projects I'm working on, we also have to do big db deployment. He briefly touched possible techniques, but I missed it in the deployment scripts.
Stress-free deployment

Talk at Dutch PHP Conference 2010 (English - UK)
This talk will concentrate on the various strategies you can use to ensure that developing and releasing new features to a live website is stress-free. Firstly we will look at how organising your source code into branches can provide confidence and allow for features to go-live in any order. We will the consider the mechanics of deploying a new version of the website to the server, ensuring that we can repeat the process the same way every time. Finally we will look at how to roll back a deployment easily and quickly when something goes wrong.

A very practical talk on solving the real world problems in a simple way. Some of the more difficult problems of deployment of larger environments (clusters/back-end systems/etc.) were not adressed.

Nice talk from Rob. He's a entertaining speaker to listing to. Good concepts and considerations, may benefit from some more depth. I understand some solutions might be good enough for your company, but for the talk it will nice to touch on some different type of situations too. I didn't mind the small part about the DB deployment, but I saw the talk by Harrie on that topic.

Good talk, mostly focused on real-word examples. Just missed a deeper insight into techniques applicable to critical/large applications.

Great talk. Interesting to hear how a web agency handles the difficult task of deployment. Good real world examples, good speaker and very enjoyable to watch.

I love the fact that Rob's talk is centered in the real world. He isn't a purist, "everything must be phing". He showed a good mix of using existing tools and "roll your own" when it makes sense.

Pretty sweet talk! Rob's expertise combined with his humor are the key factors for the success of this talk.
But more importantly: I learned something, something useful actually.
