Talk at PHP North West 2008 (English - US)
Some people try to develop everything at once and think changing existing code is a waste of development time. Not me. Refactoring is one of the most powerful tools of development. Start with something simple, keep refining it until it is perfect. During this session, we’ll dive into the power of refactoring. Why to do it? How to do it? And why it is actually saving time instead of wasting time

Good general talk, bit too much silence due to live coding - always difficult to code and talk at the same time.
Timing was a little short but don't think it mattered greatly in the end - question time was therefore longer and people chirped up more :)
Seeing code changed is a much clearer way to demonstrate theories. However, I think its too difficult for a single speaker to pull off. Enlisting a coder to perform the edits whilst the speaker ..um speaks, or showing video captures of the coding is a neater way to get it accross.
Nice to meet Stefan, and I enjoyed the impromptu Symfony Q&A.

Nice to see a talk about best practice techniques and the benefits of iterative programming. Good talk, lots of background and some humour.
It takes some guts to edit code in front of an audience too!

Good overview. Live code editing -- always good fun.
Nice to learn the tools exist to do continuous integration.
