Dutch PHP Conference 2010
10 - 12 Jun 2010 at Amsterdam

Great talk and enjoyable day! Have come out of it feeling that I should be able to navigate my way around the PHP source with a little more understanding of how things work.

Melanie clearly knows her stuff, and was available to answer questions that people had.

If you want to know more about how PHP works and how you can extend it, definitely a good tutorial to attend.

Nice talk, but a little too much details. And I would have liked the focus to be more on the optimisation pitfalls than on actual opportunities for optimisation.

Fairly standard range of options, but presented quite naturally. Also made some points about a few technologies I hadn't considered before. Felt like he would have been more suited to an hour long slot, as it was a bit rushed. Enjoyed the practical examples, very easy to apply.

Execellent tutorial session, handled expertly by Melanie- logically stepping through the issues in a clear methodical manner. The subject matter is hard to convey traditionally, but Mel ensured all the relevent dependencies where touched upon in a timely manner. Glad I attended!

I've seen this talk before and it was still very good. excellent introduction into what scrum is and a good list of practical tips.

Always learn stuff when I talk to Kevlin. The articles in the book are great and it was nice to hear the editor's personal insights on them. Only criticism I can bring is that the actual book-plugging took a bit too long at the start before the meatier content. Still, I'm just quibbling there. Achieved the goal off kicking off and setting the tone for the day.

Please use slideUnit to test your presentation before you start :-)

Liked it very much!

Good coverage and introduction to scrum. The tips:
- you mentioned the user stories as items. explain the meaning of this user stories and let them come back in the story more often.
- When switching subjects in your presentation and especially when talks has allot of different terms, it would be a nice practice to refer back to them and show the relations. so the audience won't be overblown by all terms or confusion.
I did not experienced this though had this kind of information overload at the first time.
for the rest my compliments on the really basic example of tooling. that was funny.

Simple, basic, clear. Good talk
