I like Helgi as a speaker and PHP expert and I love the idea behind Pyrus.
The talk managed to draw my attention towards Pyrus, but unfortunately did not satisfy my curiosity.
I had the feeling this talk was not really well prepared and it actually didn't have enough practical information to convince me. A demo or some code would have been nice.
If Helgi plans another talk about this topic containing more practical info, I'll definitely check him out again (and possibly give it a 4 or 5 star rating).
It is always a pleasure attending a talk by Matthew. This one was particularly clear, not in the least because of the simplicity of the examples.
I also liked it because it clearified the pattern with the database wrapper and the service layer that I partly missed during the tutorial last year, because I wasn't paying enough attention. This was just a side effect, but I was glad I caught up with that.
This talk introduced me to this NoSQL subject, that was mostly new to me. That's exactly why I go to conferences. To get pointed at many, many new things for which you can't spare the time to go activily look for. Thank you Matthew.
We can never forget you and your presentation. Just like PHP, you stick like a ball of nails (not that painful, no really, it was great fun).
I liked it very much, because it gave very practical insight. It also pointed me at ways to use PHP in a very flexible way that I wouldn't have thought of myself. I knew PHP is flexible, but in your hands it is flexible beyond flexible. The only limit is our imagination and still, we always have to try to look beyond that. Your presentation gives us a push in the right direction.
I liked the presentation. I think there is still pain involved somehow. The "without pain" in the title sounds promising, but I think with any of the solutions proposed in this talk, we are exchanging one type of pain for another.
Still I could make quite a few notes of techniques I didn't yet bother to investigate and that I might look at as a result of attending. Phing, Liquibase. Thanks Harrie!
Brilliant developer. Too fast at times. Impressive talk. I was left in amazement (not sure about the spelling of that).
Good compilation. Although I knew most of the tools already it was good be remembered what we need to add into our continuous integration process :)
Good talk, as always. Good insights.
Great! Good insights and entertaining.
Great talk. Interesting to hear how a web agency handles the difficult task of deployment. Good real world examples, good speaker and very enjoyable to watch.
