Dutch PHP Conference 2015
25 - 27 Jun 2015 at RAI Amsterdam

Highly entertaining and informative. Well explained with clear slides.

I especially liked how the story was set up and how it all fitted together in the end.

Although I've heard enough talks about mentoring lately, this talk is definitely a 5-star talk and that's because Josh is a fantastic speaker/performer.

The delivery of the talk was spectacular as usual. There were definitely some key takeaways for me.

But as discussed: the slides were not on par with the quality of the talk. Throw away the slide deck, get a better color scheme and better visuals, because this deck is very 90's.

When Josh speaks, I listen. A job well done!

Nice topic, and good talk. From the description I had hoped for a bit more content on more advanced tools. Right now the first 20/30 minutes were spent on topics I think most of the audience was already familiar with. Good main message though!

Great talk. Funny to see in a later talk a speaker did it "wrong". "Add this to your composer.json..." ;-) I was very tempted to make a remark.

Great talk, but I would have appreciated some more code samples or practical pointers. Also I missed a bit of a wow-factor with novel insights, but maybe that was just a consequence off there being a lot of talks on related subjects earlier in the schedule.

Clear talk and interesting talk.
I was curious what the six sides would stand for and was a bit disappointed to find out it was only six sides because it makes for nice diagrams.
I feel like the rest of the talk had a lot of overlap with Fridays talk and they could have been merged easily.

What I liked:

- Interesting subject
- Clear slides, good explanation of processes

What could be improved:

- Limit the use of mathematical terms (like elliptic curves) or explain them
- Fix the bug in the demo (file being cleared)

Got me interested, would have been nice to see more on how to manipulate and analyze the log data. I have a strong feeling a lot more could be done with the data in elasticsearch and/or Kibana. It would have been nice to see an example of more complex and/or real world log analysis.

Clear, interesting and useful, though I think it was a bit overdone: the part for displaying the usernames, I think, should be a template helper. It is clearly display logic which should not reside in a value object.

I liked the presentation but I missed clear examples of practical usages.
I liked the misuse of generators, but I think I disapprove. It does not make for readable code.
