Dutch PHP Conference 2016
23 - 25 Jun 2016 at RAI Amsterdam

Great talk, beautiful reminder to keep your code simple.

Very recognisable topics, well explained.

Very basic info on AOP, I expected à bit more in depth

Good talk, Some interesting new stuff

To put some context into this (not interested, go to the TL;DR ^^):

For me this was a talk with mixed expectations. Some time back, I was given the task to explore the options in optimizing our search algorithm. Elasticsearch was one of the possibilities. It didn't make it at the time, because of the time it would cost I guessed it would take to implement.

I'm glad it worked out that way, after this talk :) This because I apparently really underestimated the work goes in the implementation and configuration of this "package". I had looked into it for a bit, but just the surface.

That being said (TLDR;INC;)

It was said it would be an advanced talk, so I expected I would probably recognize something, but the rest would go over my head. The opposite was true. There was a concise explanation about the main workings of elastic, that everyone with a basic knowledge of json could understand. So props for that :)

The second part was even more educational, because we were given an insight into an Elastic implementation with an insane amount of "documents", and an even more insane number of pageviews, and the troubles this brings for this solution.

Learned a lot, motivated (again) to get it working on a small scale on my own environment, and impressed by the apparent possibilities with Elastic if you configure it right.

Very clear and technical talk about the history and present state of cryptography. All the way back to the ancient Substitution ciphers through the Caesar cipher and the workings of the Enigma Machine to the current methods used to encrypt/authenticate data. If you're interested in the theory of it all, this talk is very useful. But, as is said in the talk, if you do not know what you're doing, don't implement these things yourself, so there is no real practical knowledge transferred.

For me, I knew most of these ciphers and techniques, so there was no new information to gather ^^. However, it was a clear and structural explanation of the evolution and reasoning behind these techniques. And because I knew these techniques from before and haven't had much to do with them for the last few years, I was able to notice that his explanation made sense, and made me remember my colleges about these subjects (may be a bit mathematical for most tho maybe ;))

Nevertheless, great talk!

Consistent as ever, a great talk even though I disagree with a lot of it.

Interesting but controversial talk. A lot of food for thought.

Interesting talk about the history and ambitions of someone that is passionate to help others make their lives easier debugging code. I use Xdebug with debugging interactively with PhpStorm, and it really helps me out when shit just gets too complicated to debug with the lazy vardumps :) Admire your work and it was nice to see the face behind the project. If you're interested in the thoughts behind the Xdebug project, and wouldn't mind to learn a bit more about some newer, less known and future features I would really recommend this talk.
