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

I really liked the demo on how to unit test against different PHP versions with docker. The overall feeling for this talk, though, was that it needed more preparation and, as someone already pointed, could have better used feedback from the audience: if you make a question, make the answer count and try to adapt the talk.

Even if it does not really have to do with docker itself and the talk title certainly excludes it, I would have loved to see how a project can be packed in an image and deployed to prod, or how devel/staging/prod environments can be managed and automated with docker.

Good talk, anyway, made me want to play a little more with docker.

The talk was a bit dry for me. I found the initial discussion of why CQRS and event sourcing should be used engaging but found it difficult to build a mental model from the code slides displayed.

One of the highlights of the conference for me. As someone who uses Behat to write user stories the points you made on the subtle, yet important difference in perspectives between writing a story that includes the process was an eye opener.

The content was well delivered, I remember looking at my watch towards the end and thinking "Has it really been forty min?". Very interesting material!

This was a good, concise intro to CSP, but was a little limited in scope and seemed to fizzle out at the end - not as good as his webstack talk.

I didn't think there was enough depth here, however the content that was there was delivered well.

I don't think you should have asked "Does anyone not know about SOLID?" and used the audience participation as a gauge to include the content. You had the time, had prepared the material and I think the content would have added to your theme on defensive programming. Conference audience participation is always very sluggish.

Lots of energy and enthusiasm on this talk. Screencasting as a way to avoid live demo effect should be avoided, though, it makes it a little more difficult to follow when the video gets out of sync with the speech or you simply forget what you were to show in that particular moment. Take the risk, do the live demo and maybe have the screencast as a backup.

Also, I would have liked to see some real example of a machine being provisioned on devel and prod environments, and how you go from devel to production deployment using vagrant or docker. The bare info can be found googling a bit, for me it is the interaction, live examples and demos that make the effort of attending a talk worthy.

This is very familiar territory to me, so it was great to find that I was very much on the same wavelength as Arne. I was concerned that some might feel out of their depth in a systems area, but there were some great follow-up questions that suggested that was not the case.

When discussing the highlights of the conference with Nikolas Martens over beers this evening we both agree that "The Story Of Store" packing up his parenthesis, punctuation and little arrow was the funniest gag of the conference.

Joking aside, the talk quickly moved into concepts and finished in practicality. I disagree with other comments around speed of delivery. I enjoyed the pace and I think it allowed you to cover the material in the right depth.

I enjoyed this talk a lot. I'd used quite a few of the things mentioned, with similar experiences, but it was great to see what could be done when carried much further, and I really liked Bastian's obvious enthusiasm.

Good talk on event storming and how to think in temporal model, though I would have liked to see more on how temporal and structural models flow together. The talk would have been better with more time to get into the details, but I guess "I want at least two hours more of this stuff" does not count as a critic.
