A good talk for anyone who has to create new sites on a regular basis, good solid advice about scripting the process, repeatability is key.
I thought the videos were a good idea too, so many live demos can go wrong.

This turned out to be better than I expected. Good overview of tools and approaches. Particualry liked health scripts and taking a broader approach.

Felt the first half of the talk was too basic - everyone in the room should have done all this before. I was hoping for more php specific tools to help with eg programming.
Doccodegen and a few of the other topics covered were useful though.
Thanks.

I think Rob could quite easily have skipped things like showing us the commands to download and install Apache, and then a video of downloading and installing Apache. The talk did pick up with some more interesting things like the demo of Netbeans with XDebug but I fear some indifference had been engendered with the audience by that stage.

On reflection I should have been more explicit in the talk summary that I was starting with the basics and building up to better things.

I would slightly disagree that test/devel servers should be set up under ~ as then you can run into problems when deploying. test/devel servers should be as close to live configuration as possible imho.
Not particularly keen on including so many videos that show how to install tools, but I'm a sysadmin/developer hybrid also.
Otherwise good talk. Nice quotes.
