Dutch PHP Conference 2011
19 - 21 May 2011 at Amsterdam RAI

A big WOW for the presentation software used and how it was used. I didn't even know such things were possible.
Nice to watch and listen to. You explained some very interesting things about git to me. Still puzzled by the complexity of git that designers will never be able to use, so not convinced to switch from bzr (also a DVCS) to git, but that was clearly not the intention.

very good talk saw some new things that i can,t wait to try out

A lot better then yesterdays talk from the same speaker, but still a bit boring. A lot of interesting techniques and methods came by that are worth examining.

Disclaimer - this guy is a colleague.

Nicely put together, Marcello cares about the subject a lot and is engaging. I guess the only criticism is that this was not a lightning talk; there was too much material. Still, will have plenty of time to discuss it.

Interesting, but very surface-level. Felt a bit like a sales pitch in places. Would have been nice to hear some comparisons to other tools out there - chef, puppet, capistrano, etc. and what the unique features are.

I like Derick's deeply geeky talks and this was on the way to being it. Preparation not an issue since it was the uncon and a lightning talk, more like a guided tour and conversation with the audience. Actually, I can't really think of any criticisms other than I want the detail that a full talk would give.

As I also said after the talk I would like to see the use of Zend_Translate in the routing. This is some code of mine* where @map means that it will be converted to something else else according to resources.translate.locale in application.ini:

$router->addRoute(
'map',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('@map/:latitude/:longitude', array(
'controller' => 'locations',
'action' => 'map',
'longitude' => '',
'latitude' => '',
))
);


*) I don't know if this is how you are supposed to do, but it works... :-)

A great delivery of a subject that is dear to me. It is very hard to push for these things as a contractor though! :-(

I expect that when a talk has two speakers they will take an (almost) equal part in the presentation, but not so this time. Ligaya did not say much while Ray talked a lot, not always keeping the "red thread" in the presentation.

The presentation also gave me a feeling that it was not so well rehearsed.

Very good content and presentation, and now I know what "faff" means. (I think?)
