Dutch PHP Conference 2012
6 - 9 Jun 2012 at Amsterdam RAI

Good talk, very clear, although I would like to see more (real-world) examples.

I disagreed on so many levels here, like the statement that we would have to shift our focus to mobile. That's highly overrated, i don't see desktop web applications being replaced any time soon. Businesses don't want their employees to use our web applications on mobile devices for a reason, maybe it's handy for the end users, but thats just a tiny percentage of our target audience. Web development will continue to exist for many years to come. Graphics for mobile devices are good yes, but can they replace a 680GTX? Well, no. Are you going to write your applications on mobile devices? Probably not, not counting a laptop as a mobile device of course. Businesses are not going to give their employees iPads and let them work on that all they and expect them to be productive. They would rather prefer a configurable environment.

I see the point in that the mobile market is growing, and that companies who make fun farmville games or angry bird type games have nothing are going to lose their market on the PC and should switch to mobile. But this is absolutely not the case for enterprise php applications. They don't care about a accelerometer or 5 other types of sensors. Maybe they would need an app for updates on their app, or extremely simple tasks. Well then we can always rely on things like appcelerator and phonegap to do the lifting for us.

Good, well paced presentation. Examples were practical and useful. I'm eager to start with Composer now.

Really enjoyed this talk. Thijs is a real entertainer!
This presentation is full of practical scalability tips supported by anecdotes. Well done!

Excellent talk. Well presented and a lot of in-depth information supported by practical examples.

However, i was a little bit disappointed that there is no support for XML, and found out about this while I was in the room already. Made the presentation more or less useless to me. Put it in the talk abstract next time!

Pleasantly surprised to have a geo talk at a php conference. Great overview on the various services available, and their pros and cons.

Liked it very much in feature I will try to be more consistent when writing a code and following rules which you have demonstrate us. Great keynote! It would be great if slides were here.

Too much scrolling around. Me as a noob with SPL was completely lost.

Unfortunately the talk was waaaay to general. One who never saw ExtJS in his life was bombed with a ton of info, while one who already put his hands on the Sencha's framework didn't learn anything new... so at the end no one wins...

Very good talk. Hope you convinced a lot of developers to work with composer. This is bringing php forward. Sometimes I looked like you were a little out of breath.
