Talk comments
Top notch. Very hands-on best practices on how to deal with UTF-8 in your application and also some useful background information about why unicode saves the day. Combined with some quirky humour and energetic speaker made for a very enjoyable talk.
The actual questions and panel discussion felt a bit forced, quite a few generic questions/answers. The twitter/picture slideshow totally saved it though, so still a very enjoyable show.
Perhaps my expectations were wrong, but I was expecting something more indepth and more about the actual release management. This was more a talk about "how to use svn"
Not a bad talk per-se, but was a bit long winded about it. Which meant it got quite boring at some parts.
Great talk, demonstrated very well how d-bus works and how you can use it in PHP. Or at least, how you can use it once he releases the code :). Especially the live demo's were very refreshing, cool gadgets that get controlled via php are always a plus.
Very good talk. It showed great insights in how to deal with the problems of high traffic sites, or at least nu.nl specifically. It was also a nice touch that he described how they got to those solutions.
A great introduction to what this SPL is all about, but for some reason the room didn't really come alive which hampered the talker who was expecting some more interaction, it got better at the end though. I also would have liked to see some more examples in the sense of how you can use SPL to be more powerful then the old functions.
great talk on REST. I generally liked the "academic" approach the talk had, but would have liked to see some more examples on the problems/limitations.
great keynote, included everything what I expect from a keynote.
I enjoyed this talk, even though it was targeted a bit below my own level of expertise. Matthew is very easy listening, anyway.
