Great speaker but I was not able to keep up with the live coding. (Just like 99% of the room). Next time a pre installed image or some pre tutorial instructions would be nice.

Kick ass presentation. It certainly evolved in time: at PHPUK it was still in "draft status". At PHPDay it was pretty decent and now it was great.

Now I want to see some spin off talks that deal with some Hadoop specific use cases. There is so much you can do with it, but it's hard to pack it all into a 45 minute talk.

Good job !

Nicolas presented the REST architecture behind the eZ Publish CMS and how it is designed to provide content for, virtually, any devices.

This talk was just a perfect fit after the "First Class APIs" keynote of Helgi Þormar Þorbjörnsson as it demonstrated precisely how important it is to have such an API to serve data!

The presentation ended up with a live demonstration from an Android application to see how easy it was to integrate content from eZ Publish on such device.

Nice talk although i'm a newbie with git.

Also the slides where refreshing!

one of the few talks that were actually tailored to PHP.
Talk didn't went very fluently, felt like you had to figure out what to tell next. Not sure what caused that.

Sebastian may not be as charismatic as Aral, but he knows his stuff.
Loads of new stuff for me, but also loads of things I already knew which is a nice reminder.
Hope you find a way to make your talks a little more entertaining, but the message is more important than how it is delivered.

Very entertaining and informative talk.
It's a shame my manager didn't see it...

Nice and very entertaining talk including a live demo and formula1 qualifying results!
Good thing no country's were invaded this time :).

Good presentation and entertaining to watch.
Attention to important details and common pitfalls.

Still, some suggestions to improve:
- give 1 or more known real-world examples who is the provider, user and consumer in existing implementations. This will help with the mental picture a lot.
- you could create a diagram with the provider, user and consumer in a "triangle" position. Then explain/show how the dance works step by step using arrows between the three. This could improve the mental image of how this works. bonus points: use images of feet as arrows so it actually looks like a dance!

Still, this talk is worth all 5 thumbs.

Good talk with some very good points made.
Went a bit to deep "bashing" twitter on how they did things wrong. But other than that very good to follow with some very good information and nice pointers.
