Bulgaria PHP Conference
7 - 9 Oct 2016 at Sofia Event Center

Great talk about a very interesting topic! Will the slides be posted as well here? Would be nice to review the presentation one more time. Thanks!

One of the few talks I've attended and Andrew pulled off an amazing presentation (and I don't say this because he's a hackathon team member). Instead of assuming everybody knows about the hardware stuff, he started out with some basic concepts like voltage/current/resistance, and even how serial communication works (with the help of the audience). Giving some helpful feedback about the differences between different boards like arduinos vs raspberries, and some real (php) code.

Minor issues:
- skipped the serial parity (intentionally?)
- maybe give some real output what you get from the gps, instead on how to parse it
- a working live beer tap :) (but very professionally saved by the video)

Andrew is a very good speaker, with lots of (english) humour, so this is a great talk to see at other conferences.

Probably the most controversial talk of the conference. To be honest I expected to see a riot afterwards, fortunately no such thing happened.

After seeing that my personal thoughts on the big monolithic frameworks resonate with those of the larger community I will probably try the proposed approach for my next pet project.

The framework is dead! Long live the framework!

Thank you for great framework and great lecture!

Another great talk by Samantha. Very good examples!

While not as packed with jokes like the opening keynote it was still a very engaging and a pretty good intro to MongoDB and how it got better for php.

While it might not help anyone in their day today as work (or so it seems) knowing the internals of the language at least on a basic level can have a positive impact on how a developer thinks and uses certain features.

Props to Mr. Titcumb for making a very approachable talk out of a quite complex topic! All around well prepared and executed.

Talk was good and provides some basic knowledge about redis features. However I was not inspired to try and "sell" it to my boss after the lecture

Unfortunately, this was the only other talk I got to see because I was busy preparing my own. Fortunately, it was this talk that I got to see.

Good balance of humour and reason used to deliver an opinionated message that encouraged developers to push their architecture skills by reaching beyond the framework.

My only criticism is that this talk was on the second track rather than the first (which had a less popular talk on). Sadly, there were some people who missed out and couldn't get in the room. This was beyond the speakers control however, and it can be hard to predict these things.

I expected it to be horrible and boring lecture about formulas, but I was proven wrong ;)
This was maybe the best talk in all the conference... Thank you!
