PHP Australia - Sydney
12 - 13 Mar 2015 at Australian National Maritime Museum

Dry and humorous, it was great to see the creator of MySQL and (more importantly) MariaDB was a regular guy with a great sense of humor. Not only that, he really new his stuff about databases and business.

Having vodka chocolates piffed at me while he glared across the crowd with a devilish look was a particular highlight.

Davey was a very engaging and entertaining talker, and despite the fact that he was delving into some complex concepts, it was easy to follow and rather satisfying. Almost made me want to develop in C again. Almost.

Despite the fact that old mate Ben wasn't using his computer, it was one of the better talks I've seen. It was charming and very informative and gave a great alternative perspective on development practices.

Really nice talk - good to hear the proper way to use composer from the guy who built it. Very down to earth talk with a great community focus. Pretty chill :)

Great talk on the origins of PHP (from its creator!) and where it is headed with PHP7 and beyond. Some great bench-marking done, and good Q&A

Enjoyed flying candy. But also admiration for somebody still passionate about the project even after 20 years.

A good presentation on the various options for running PHP code. Stuff you wouldn't normally think about but could be great options in some cases.

Well structured presentation with a really great message. Also presented very well.

Very interesting presentation. Good pace and great slides.

Extremely entertaining talk, waxing lyrical about many important themes that all development teams can at least take one concept from to make their lives easier.
