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

The warning given in the opening talk about sponsors not allowing to do a 'sales pitch' might have been specifically about this talk.

I certainly felt that the title should have been 'PHP and the OracleDB'. It certainly felt like a sales pitch for the oracleDB in larger usecases. (certainly that includes scalability and high performance, but it doesnt focus on the `vendor agnostic` problems developers run into: just how the new oracleDB solves specific issues)

Too bad, i would have expected that `an Oracle`-guy would have more experiences in generic large scale application problems and generic solutions.

Loved the talk, truelly inspiring into the usages of ZeroMQ in all types of situations. A pointer device would have been a handy addition. Fast moving at times but it was also very inticing into the benefits of zeroMq :)

As said above: too busy, to fast in the beginning to actually keep up. Was hoping it would go deeper into the why and how instead of typing-along-with-the-presenter.

I also felt that `Joe` did miss some of the more obvious links into why somethings were as they were where he seemed to have no clue...

Would have expected the talk (without the code-parts) as a 'usual' presentation during the rest of the conf instead of a half-tutorial-day-session.

Paul knows what he's talking about, but needs to put a little more effort in the delivery part.

I'd love to see more:

- Enthusiasm
- User interaction
- Setup & configuration
- Code examples
- In depth stuff

But still, the foundation of the talk is good and therefor deserves a 3 star rating. I'll definitely check this talk out again to see how it evolved.

Yeah, nice. Very good talk. The code worked. Go testing.

Absolutely loved it. Inspiring stuff! :-)

Liked the talk. Reminded me of talks given by mr. Pipes over the years. Mr. DeRoo seemed to steal the show, but ms Turmelle didnt seem to mind though :)

Fab talk. Great energy. Lovely messages. Being human.

Likes the many (simple) examples on the different queue types. Good talk with some nice homework in the form of mongrel2.

I've expected how to start with solr, what to expect and how is the best practise to implement it. Little bit disappointed in the content and sorry but the enthousiasm wasn't there.
