Dutch PHP Conference 2021 - Online Edition
17 - 18 Jun 2021 at Online Conference

Koen's talk was a good introduction, highlighting the problems with the bro-centric culture in tech, the issues that it creates, and the reasons why we should all embrace D&I within our industry.

The panel itself was well structured in the topics discussed, and shows just how much work still needs to be done, and highlighted the issues still faced at a more detailed level. Thanks to Ayesh, Francesca, Juliette and Zan for being so open and honest in their evaluations.

It's just a bit disappointing that they were probably talking to an audience that already appreciates the issues, and knows that there are still so many problems to overcome

Cal is Cal; and can create enthusiasm from nothing, even when it's ridiculous-early-in-the-morning (for him). Thanks for being the glue between talks

Very much a sales pitch: and while the talk showed how to implement Magic, I didn't really get any understanding of why I should want to do so, what benefits it might give over other alternative approaches to authentication.
There was too much code on the slides, making them almost impossible to read; and most of the questions were answered simply be pointing people to the documentation, or white papers.

Clearly and well presented, showing a good working knowledge of using state machines. An excellent introduction with a perfectly plausible "real world" series of expanding requirements showing why the use of a state machine might be justified, how to implement it, options and flexibility that using a state machine or a workflow provide, and some of the potential issues to watch out for.
The talk covered a lot of ground, but was presented at a good pace making it easy to follow and understand.

My first thought was that this was pre-recorded; but it quickly became clear that it was a live coding exercise, which I thought was particularly impressive. Good depth of knowledge with examples of the benefits of middleware, and the live coding was a great way of demonstrating that. While the focus was on PSR7/PSR15, those benefits apply equally to middleware implementations that don't follow the FIG standards, and it's only the implementations that differ.

A fascinating look at the different types of databases available, with good explanations and an enthusiastic presentation style. A good overview of when different databases might be of value in a project.

The only real problem was possibly trying to squeeze too much into the length of the talk, especially with the technical problems losing some time as well... but Mike handled that well, even making reference to how a time series database could be used to monitor user satisfaction during the technical break in the talk.

One of the features that I've most been looking for in PHP; and long overdue. Ayesh clearly has a great knowledge of enums, not just their implementation in PHP, but their value in coding as well. I'd followed the RFC closely, and read it so many times, but still gained new insights and a fresh perspective from this talk.
The slide animations also showed how much effort had been put into this presentation.

Very useful talk as we're currently looking at implementing ADRs, so identifying what they should contain (particularly the business and financial constraints), and the tips and pitfalls on how to manage them within a project were particularly useful.
Well presented, and with enthusiasm... but that's something we expect from Rafael

Big fan of PSR-15, I enjoy the talk and live coding a lot, as a mate comment here, the PSR-7 15 benefits should be explained in every conference ;-D Thanks for your great work.
