An excellent discussion promoting PHPWomen. Thanks to Jenny for sharing her personal story, I can't imagine it's easy telling that to a bunch of strangers - it amazes me that people can treat other people so badly sometimes, and really demonstrates why PHPWomen is so important.
I liked this - it's a pretty complex topic but interesting to see how Solr can be leveraged. The code samples had Dutch words which I struggled to remember (and thus associate with previous examples), but on the whole it was good. It's certainly inspired me to have a decent look into Solr and ElasticSearch! :)
In my position, resources like this talk are invaluable and I've learnt some new things from this talk, which hopefully if I get accepted, I will put into practice! :)
This was great and I really enjoyed it - good delivery and even better message.
Surprising that this was your first conference talk. Very clear delivery with a good tone for a keynote.
Good to see the business side of software development being represented at a tech conference. I like the approach of adding a new application layer through HTTP proxying.
I liked that you had examples to back up most of your points. Some of the topics felt quite basic, but very good delivery and clear explanations.
Very interesting topic, pity there was not time for more examples. Talk was delivered well with good explanations.
Very good opening keynote in terms of content and tone. Not too fast either!
I was lucky enough to see this talk at PHP Hampshire a while back, and this time it was more refined, well rehearsed and generally much better. Talking a bit slower and enunciating a little more might help the message sink in a little better, but apart from that it was good delivery, even better content.
