Good start of the conference. Collaborate is the key.
How To Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants
Ian Barber (27.Jan.2012 at 13:20)
Keynote at PHPBenelux Conference 2012 (English - US)
Every great breakthrough is built on the work that has come before it.
The most successful innovators in our industry ignore the conventional wisdom of the moment and draw on the rich history of computing, the internet and the web to transform the simplest of ideas into defining pieces of technology.
As software engineers, we all have the potential to navigate the history of our industry, tease out the genius from what has come before, and build a platform for our own ideas. By doing so, we can see that little bit further and in turn provide the foundations for others to build on what we have done.
In this session we’ll look at how the history of the web itself is rooted in sharing information and how modern giants like Google and Facebook are founded on what came before them, while being driven forwards by the ecosystems they helped build. We’ll see how successful open source projects leverage the past, and how by following some simple principles we can make use of the information, projects and people around us to improve ourselves and our careers.

It's the first time I saw Ian deliver a keynote talk. Great talk, very nice to see all the shoulders the developer community is standing on.

Good talk, also inspirational. But shouldn't at least the keynote be unique when it comes to congresses? For me it was the second time I saw those slides.

Very nice keynote. One minor suggestion: try to keep the intro & skating part a bit shorter, for me the keynote really started to get interesting when BCPL was introduced.

Very nice and captivating presentation. Reminds me a lot of the 'emergent collectives'

I'd seen this before at PHPNW, but it is still an awesome talk! Well done.

Very well presented, but I really expected more interesting content from a talk that has previously received so much rating stars...

Interesting start of the conference that makes you reflect and think.

great connections lay'd between all those now "mythical" persons
this is really where we come from, great :)

Great talk! Its subject fits well in the web dev era we're living in right now. Thnx

After the slow start, with a topic I don't really care about, skating, a very good keynote! Well done.

A true keynote, inspirational and very well researched. Delivered with the timing and precision of a master, very easy to listen too and relate to the topic.

Excellent keynote. Although the ending was a bit abrupt and I personally missed a conclusion at the end. As always, very well and clearly presented.

I have to agree with the other comments: very inspirational keynote. When we use a programming language, we don't always reflect where it comes from. Every single one of us can suddenly have an unexpected impact. Great start to the conference Ian!

Fluent style and striking presence on stage which results in a truly motivational talk. Super!

A very inspirational, well structured and well presented keynote! 4 thumbs instead of 5 though because I've seen it once before, so I would have enjoyed a brand new presentation probably better.

Great keynote, very inspirational. I had seen it before, but i enjoyed seeing it again!
29.Jan.2012 at 21:34 by Bart Reunes
Inspirational and motivational, nothing more to add here! I will certainly buy the DVD of this one! Even without extra stuff added to it!

Interesting, thanks!

Really enjoyed this talk, and particularly liked the analogy between skate videos and programming. Ian is an engaging speaker, even on soft topics such as these. Well done!

Great talk. I had seen it at phpnw last year and it was again very inspirational.
