PHP North West 2011
7 - 9 Oct 2011 at Ramada Manchester Picadilly

Good talk covering the important points. It seemed like there was more content planned, but Stefan ran out of time.

As I've been struggling with writing an extension recently, and had been planning to do more in the future (preferably with a lot less struggling), Derick's talk gave a few good pointers on where to look for gauidance, and on just what is and isn't possible. It's still not going to be an easy task, given the lack of documentation on how to actually set about it... but at least I have a few ideas on how to overcome some of the problems that I've encountered (or at least how to look for solutions) but extension writing will remain something of a "black art" until there's more useful documentation available.

Enthusiastic introduction to the join.in project.

Good introduction to introducing quality processes within a company and the challenges that have to be overcome.

Scary that I actually remember BCPL... but that nightmare aside, a good keynote to start the conference: a reminder that while we are all part of the PHP community now, we are part of a much larger programming community going back over the decades, and will remain a part of that larger community going into the future.

good talk and points communicated very cleanly. Would buy beer for :)

Fun talk, very confident and relaxed speaking style.

Very interesting talk, nice look at the facebook dev processes. I found it particularly interesting when Scott referenced the reasons that different bits of it had been added, as it shows the problems that the processes were designed to solve.

Great talk, and the slides looked lovely on the mac screen!

Good presentation, engaging speaker.
