Dutch PHP Conference 2013
6 - 8 Jun 2013 at Amsterdam RAI

Good and clear talk, which really showed me improvements I can make to my own code. I liked your step-by-step approach, which made it easy to follow the refactoring done and reasoning behind this. I would recommend this talk!

A really good workshop that helped a lot. I thought I was quite knowledgeable on security, but some things really opened up my eyes. Having to review for security myself Anthony's tips will save me some valuable time.

I would not sell this talk as for beginners though, but for intermediairs. Although things are very thoroughly explained, some prerequisites are made both with regards to security and up to date PHP knowledge (e.g. I am familiar with the concept of ArrayIterators, but have never used them myself, which made an example quite hard to follow).

Overall I really enjoyed the workshop, it was my personal highlight for this conference.

The speaker has a lot of knowledge. Unfortunately there was too little time for him to explain everything. Perphaps, instead of wanting to show everything, it would have been more useful if he showed us óne single topic in-depth. Also, he could speak a little slower.

Perhaps a bit too basic and slow, even for Synfony newbies. I feel 1 or 2 more topics could have been covered.

Although having a 64 bit pc, I also had problems with running the VM. Trying to cure these cost my quite some time, during which I was not really able to focus on Juliens explanation - untill I finally gave up. My recommendation would be to make this VM available some days before the talk, so everybody can already see if it works on their pc and if not take some time to cure this.

The talk did learn me a lot more about memory usage in general and especially PHP. It was good to see the internal workings of ZendMemory. However for my feeling the most interesting stuff came at the end of the talk, which we had to go through very quickly. I would suggest making the general memory part a bit shorter and diving faster into the PHP parts.

Excellent talk, gave some very motivational ideas. Definitely can use this within the team!

Good overview of REST and explanation of the hypermedia API, maybe you could mention the http response codes as level 2.5 in the maturity model. I think that is quite crucial to becoming completely RESTful.
