Goede indruk van MongoDB gekregen, bedankt. Je presentatie laat inderdaad wat te wensen over, maar aan de andere kant verwacht ik ook niet anders op zo'n nerd-congres. ;-) Helaas wordt daar in Nederland bijna nooit aandacht aan besteed in het onderwijs.

Next time skip the obvious tips like "RTFM". You'll have more time for the interesting ones.
However, a very good presentation with a good sense of humor.

Een discussie proberen uit te lokken in een presentatie van een uur is niet zo'n goed idee. Ik miste ook wat diepgang. Verder was het wel een interessant verhaal.

Wat bedoelde je trouwens met HTML Threads?

Goede presentatie, kun je hem ergens online zetten?

A good speaker with experience and devotion. I learned a lot, and my opinion that making a php extension would be difficult changed for the better.

I like the talk, but sometimes the timing was off with the "single words on the slide". I think however, that you could do with fewer "one word" slides as it sometimes felt you were reading from the presentation.

Good talk, it flowed well and it covered a nice (large) area of PHP Frameworks.

Excellent talk, good content, but could sometimes go a little bit more in-depth.

A few pointers though:
- Please don't say you're not that interesting, everybody is :-)
- In the framework choice slide, try to put some more contrast so that the logos are all nicely visible.
- It was a bit short, but that was okay because there were plenty of questions. However, do repeat the question after people have asked it as the audience can most often not hear the original question-asker.
- For some of the questions (and answers) that you got, it would probably make sense to put them in the next version of the talk.
- I think it would also help to give a few practical examples. Most of what you spoke about is very theoretical, and of course that doesn't always work. (I realize that you don't want to always use the company you work for as example though :) ).
- Give some examples of technical dept.

Still, excellent talk and looking forwards to the next version.

Good talk, although a little bit rushed for something that can be very complex. Must have been the nerves. Got a lot better during questions. Could have gotten a little more in depth (unit tests come to mind) but I thoroughly enjoyed the personal experience bits and pieces.

Incredibly relevant talk about the current trends, mobile and cloud and the impact it has or will have on PHP. The talk had a good pace, enough humour to keep it light, but at the same time touched very interesting subjects. Enjoyed it immensely.
