Dutch PHP Conference 2014
26 - 28 Jun 2014 at Amsterdam RAI

Very good talk that presented the concepts in a clear and understandable way. I also really liked Rob's speaking style: very calm and measured but often throws in humour. There were a few code errors on the slides, but this didn't matter too much ;) The slides could be a bit more engaging

Excellent talk with excellent content. I agree with the other comment that this talk was really geared towards SOLID - and the implicit assumption that this is the ultimate goal for software. Perhaps adapting your talk summary would let people know specifically what the goals of your talk are.

Towards the end as we got through the final SOLID principles, it started to get a bit laborious to keep up. I think letting the audience breathe a bit between segments might help.

Nice talk about deployment with a specific cloud product. but a bit chaotic for my taste.

A really good introduction to Behat. The problem I had was that you assumed people were familiar with the basic concepts and practice of BDD - but many developers aren't. Perhaps a bit more context of the practice of BDD (i.e. the underlying methodology and why it's important), such as how to speak to stakeholders, how to transform requirements into features, would provide the context needed.

I liked how you mentioned both Behat and Mink - but with a 40-45 minute talk, that's *a lot* of detail to cover. Maybe picking one and providing more depth would help solidify understanding - just an idea. Overall I really enjoyed it - nice talk!

A very good talk that was well-prepared and delivered extremely well. I also like the fact you demoed something - I didn't care about the fact a few commands didn't work as expected. Next time it would be cool to actually implement or elaborate on a concrete example of an Ansible deployment. You highlighted "web" and "db" endpoints (and the LAMP stack) at the end, but it was all a bit abstract and rushed. I would like to hear a little more about how Ansible deployments can improve my workflow and what that might look like in concrete terms, perhaps with live examples. The details were great, but wider context is equally as useful.

Interesting content but it was hard to keep focused with terminology that had lots of interchangeable meanings. A lot of the points made were fairly compact, too, so the audience were expected to assume a lot in order to proceed with the gist of what you were saying. For future presentations, I'd prefer you adopt techniques that capture the audience's imagination and engagement - demos, more diagrams, etc. Overall a good presentation on an interesting topic.

Liking some concepts ideas. Great talk!

Again a great talk by Rob, with very clean slides and good examples.

Only remark: being in the back, it was sometimes hard to understand the speaker.

This talk was educative, fun and entertaining. Just two remarks to make this talk awesome:
- improve your pronunciation
- some company inside jokes are not known to the audience, so either give us a bit of reference or skip them

Maybe a talk bit slower next time but an excellent overview of front-end tooling in comparison with the backend tooling for the modern web developer.
