PHP @ FOSDEM 2013
2 Feb 2013 at ULB

I liked the talk and I it was one of the better ones giving a good introduction to the topic. Especially focusing on the ecosystem. It's great to see how this has evolved over the past 2-3 years!

Nice list of tips for phpunit, delivered with just enough humour to help us remember the good advice :) Hardware failure didn't help at all (but well done for having already prepared a backup!), perhaps you can upload some slides somewhere for us? Great pace for a short talk slot, I enjoyed the session!

Really enjoyable and informative talk about a hot topic. Andrew claims not to be a PHP developer but communicated really well with this audience, telling a clear story and showing some live demos (one didn't work but he handled that situation absolutely perfectly, gave it one more try and then moved on without it). He apologised for his strong accent but spoke clearly and well. I would echo the other comments about slides, I'd have liked less content on slides (spread it out over more slides if there are things you think we should see), and maybe more diagrams on how things communicate when they're federated. All in all, good job!

This was a fabulous way to start the day. Ian spoke without slides, switching between documentation, prepared code samples, and demo without missing a beat, showing us around the google APIs and telling us a bit about why they are built that way. Interesting content delivered in a professional but totally engaging manner. Thanks :)

A lot of work obviously went into this presentation but I think it should have been split up into 2 or more talks.

Lukas is obviously passionate about code and that excitement came through very well, I would definitely like to hear more about things like PSR-3 and the inner workings of Symfony 2 but perhaps in a more focused approach next time would give him the justice he deserved.

As Tom said above Daniel was very nervous but don't underestimate how intimidating we all are :-) I think a Vespolina centric talk (maybe a lightning talk) would have been better suited in this scenario.

I will definitely be on the lookout for the slides.

Cheers guys.

Fantasic talk, its a shame his slot wasn't 30 minutes longer. I'll look out for this guy again, one of the best speakers I've seen in a while.

A good humorous talk with MEME's a plenty.

Thank you for the feedback. Indeed we had a lot of content for those 50mins. We wanted to give a full overview. If we would have left out any code slides we could have done it less crammed, but also wanted to give a feel for things on the code level. Not sure what we best could have left out .. maybe our goal was too lofty and we should have just focused on Symfony2+CMF+Vespolina?

It's been amazing.

I was already looking forward to hearing about internals for Sara as she wrote _the_ internals book but the talk and demos blew me out of the water.

I've already developed a couple, very simple, extensions and wasn't sure If i would really learn all that much but the amount of content compressed into the talk was amazing. Especially since it was all well explained and easy to follow.

I guess Syntax highlighting would have made it a littler easier to grasp the plentiful code samples.

Thank you so much for this presentation.

Helgi delivers again.

Thank you.
