Great opening talk. Great use of CC images. Shame about the jibes at Windows. Cheep shots that detracted from the message.

Aral Balkan (27.Feb.2009)
Talk at PHP UK Conference 2009 (English - US)
This is an awesome time to be a developer! The distinction between rich-client web, desktop, and mobile applications is narrowing. Web developers can now build cross-platform desktop apps using web technologies. Mac developers can now develop for the sexiest mobile phone on earth, and you have access to APIs and services that let you map the world, create real-time, multi-user experiences, and augment and expand reality in previously unimaginable ways.
Are you excited yet? You've got dynamic, rapid languages and frameworks like Python, Django, PHP, Rails, Objective-C and mature development environments like XCode, Visual Studio, and Eclipse. You have commodity hardware, commodity software, and free access to more information at your fingertips than has ever been available. And you have access to infinitely-scalable utility computing resources the likes of which only the largest corporations have hitherto been able to afford.
Yes, this is definitely a wonderful time to a be a developer. Join Aral as he shares with you the tools, technologies, and trends that excite him the most in 2009 and beyond. Get inspired, get motivated, then go out and build the next great thing to add your own page to this most exciting chapter in the history of the Internet.

Awesome, very inspiring. If the video turns out well I'm gonna play it for all my coworkers who couldn't be there.

Great opener, woke me up! Aral has crazy enthusiasm for his subject backed it up with solid geek credentials and it really set an ideal tone for the rest of the conference.

Aral really is an energetic speaker full of positive energy. It was a real pleasure hearing and seeing him talk. And he really motivates you with his message that it shouldn't be perfect the first time round. Built it and then refactor, is better than never building it because of the it-has-to-be-prefect-presure you put on yourself! Have fun with what you do or do something else.
Thank you for this talk, have taken it home.

Aral did a very polished presentation and is obviously a very experienced speaker striving for perfection. It was very energetic, fun and enjoyable. The content tended to flit from topic-to-topic a little but it was very well delivered.
