Dutch PHP Conference 2010
10 - 12 Jun 2010 at Amsterdam

This was a nice talk, and the presenter came well prepared. Too bad I didn't hear about some silver bullet, but hey, that's not his fault :)

Had read the slides from a previous conference, but it was good to see the presentation as Harrie filled in some of the gaps. Nice and confident in his delivery and he kept a decent pace. Would have liked to have seen a bit more about the Doctrine stuff, but he covered a lot for a 45 minute slot. Technical examples were easy to follow as well.

Very good keynote! Will read the book. Especially the part about estimations which I found very insightful.

There was a lot of good stuff in this talk, especially the different perspectives on the subject. There was just not enough time to process all of this information, which was too bad. It went a little bit too fast for me. But the speaker knew what he was talking about, and was well prepared.

Cal actually made a sales pitch presentation fun! He's honest about which bits are good, which aren't and what's good for prototyping vs.production. Live code demo, but he holds the attention well and was prepared for when it went wrong. Late in the day and he managed to keep the crowd awake, which is always an achievement.

This was a good talk, and it was well presented by Elizabeth. However, some slides were skipped quite fast by just reading out loud what the slide said. No biggie though, it got me thinking about technical debt in general, and how I can present this concept to my boss more specifically.

A fresh and clear perspective on dealing with PHP in the real world. Very informative.

Derick mentioned this was the first time he gave this talk, but still I had expected a little more from it. Like another attendee, I thought it would be more about tips and techniques from an architectural point of view. The DI and interface examples were the kind of things I was hoping to see more of them.

Great talk from Kevlin. He really knows how to speak in front of an audience. Never boring, always enthusiastic. Loved it.

Even without the 'required' git knowledge this session was interesting and enlighting as a SVN user! Thanks!
