good talk! i was afraid that some demo's wouldn't work, but you solved it on the spot, which was impressive. questions answered well. slides were spot-on in terms of timing, effects and use of color to convey your message; haven't seen that in any other presentation.

Your presentation kind of gave me an tiny excuse for not having used frameworks so far, but it seems like from this year I can't ignore it anymore. There was a lot of useful information in your talk; presentation was clear and had good examples.

Good talk, but the slides were not on the same level as the talk. Too much noise in it.

Spoke really clear and was good to follow. Contents where good, but I expected a little more about how we can confince our employers to pay and expect the testing.

Great presentation with alot of energy. Really resembles the way of presenting by Scott Hanselman. Both really great speakers!

Like :-) Pretty thorough, but easy to digest. Good presentation style and interesting content.

Small tip: if the other guy interrupts you to add something, try to make it look more like that was intended, i.o. waiting for him to finish, and then continue with what you were saying as if nothing happened. Say "Yes, that's right" (like radio hosts do) or something :)

But you did work together very well, and interaction went smooth otherwise.

Agree with the comments above; did not really relate to PHP, but rather web-development in general. Although the information was useful and interesting, it's in the HTML5-specs and i'm sure there are browser-compatibility overviews out there. The presentation itself was not bad at all, just the contents were underwhelming.

Where should I start? Your presentation style is so impressive it's almost distracting :) We learn from the best.

Yes, more of oAuth 2 would have been nice I guess, but then, you made very clear why you chose this approach and I understand. The teacher in you wants to teach us proper oAuth that we can use without https, before we relax and forget about the nitty gritty.

The dance photograph is great too and I love the laptop handshake picture.

Great presentation of a very thorough research! A bit too much information though, perhaps sacrificing some details for simplicity might be an idea for next time. Or a clear conclusion at the end about your favorite comet solution would make it stick better.

This is going to change the way we code. Good talk, clear diagrams.

You can brush up on your presentation style, especially the way you walk around as if you are expecting someone around the corner who wants to put up a fight.

Thinking Twitter would have been better off if they had thought out their API up front is just naive from a business perspective, but we get the point.

I expect we are going to try this approach, and then, after all, you have been very inspiring.

Good presentation. Could be more thorough, but it was inspiring as it was, I hope XHP will really take off from now.
