Dutch PHP Conference 2010
10 - 12 Jun 2010 at Amsterdam

Pretty good extension of the talk the day before. Can't wait till this stuff a little bit more 'grown up' :)

Liked non-tech aspects of it and concept of presentation.

This was a talk for a CTO or manager who doesn't understand his job and wouldn't come to a conference like this anyway. I'm not a manager at all and everything was obvious to me. I expected this to be more about techniques than about for example the fact that people get hired and fired (I think everybody knows a thing like that). The fact that it wasn't a very dull presentation doesn't make up for the fact that the contents weren't useful at all for, I think, anybody.

Both confronting and entertaining. Very well done!

Hard to maintain focus on the talk, but I could follow everything and it gave me a few new insights.

Very interesting talk.

Ian exposes the core algorithms of search solutions very clearly and reviews several projects that implement these. Perfectly balanced conference talk, great speaker that really masters the material.

High quality talk. Did miss some comments on tuning APC to maximize it's effectiveness (like finding the optimum size/ what to cache, what not).

A very practical talk on solving the real world problems in a simple way. Some of the more difficult problems of deployment of larger environments (clusters/back-end systems/etc.) were not adressed.

I can only agree with everybody else: Elizabeth mixes great technical know how on the writing subject with lots of humour. The room was packed and it looked as everybody enjoyed it. It is a talk that is needed on many conferences.
