Even for someone with a lot of experience with AWS, this was a great high-level overview of most of their popular services and even pointed out a few features I was unaware of, such as health checks and geolocation on Route53 domain records. Sean has a great depth of knowledge of all the material, and that was evident throughout his presentation.

If you're interested in using AWS but need a good overview to demystify all the different services and terms, this talk is for you.

Really excellent explanation of how Varnish works, how to configure it, what the upsides and problems could be, and resources to get started. Very clear, concise points on how to configure Varnish.

Good talk. Liked the response code pictures!

A great talk with some CS fundamentals explained plainly, simply, and clearly. I felt that there were some immediately useful take-aways that I can begin using right away in my applications. Memoization was especially interesting to me.

Great talk! I enjoyed the information about the history and CS fundamentals, not only the application of functional programming as relates to PHP. It made me think about some new ideas and reminded me of things I should be doing more of.

Really loved the combination of theoretical principles with examples from real world things done in PHP!

Fascinating talk. Clear, concise, and interactive.

I absolutely loved this talk. Probably the most practical explanation of FP I've seen in an hour talk. All presented with enthusiasm and energy. There is definitely a lot to be learned from FP that can be applied to PHP.

Very good discussion. I enjoyed the build up of the concepts.
The code samples were a little fast, but manageable. Perhaps adding color blocks or something may help draw the eye.
I found this very informative.
