PHPNW 2014
3 - 5 Oct 2014 at Manchester Conference Centre

Really great presentation that sparked a lot of talk with a colegue about the refinements we need to make; and funny too.

Volker, I said you shouldn't be nervous about this keynote; and then you went and rocked the socks off your audience. A whole series of great messages, told with a lot of humour to make them memorable

Fascinating and insightful, and explained in a way that even this idiot could understand and recognise the significance of the different approaches to compilation. Can I make use of that new knowledge? The jury is still out, but it's certainly making me think more.

The community has been more open to talks on this topic of late, but it's still hard speaking about such a taboo subject. Mike's honest and open talk deserved its place as best uncon talk

Interesting talk, though delving into the innards of PHP is possibly better suited to a half-day tutorial rather than a one hour time-slot. It is heavy material, and a short summary doesn't always do it justice, or allow the time for it all to sink in.... but a conference talk can often be just a taster to spur us on to our own investigations... the brief interactions with Sarah at the back of the room did add a certain degree of amusement to it all

He made the solution through his actual experience. It brought by his observation, what's the real problem behind. Some may agree some may differ. Denying existing method is not an attack. It's a process of KAIZEN. I like his passion to move things forward.

Thank you for making me rethink some of my own thoughts on things that I may have been a bit bad about and for inspiring me to JUST DO IT rather than think about how forever. This was surely the most *inspiring* talk of the conference, with a truckload of humour on top of it.

AWESOME TALK BY AWESOME SPEAKER ZOMG! :D

Awesome and inspiring talk that every programmer could benefit from hearing ESPECIALLY if they are new in the field and just getting into design patterns, it gives them another viewpoint, IMHO a healthy one.

Only thing maybe is that abstract examples become hard to follow.

Whoa :D

Completely true that we should unify the communities, point came across really well, and I realise that... Even if sometimes certain technology isn't your taste we can work together as a PHP community still, it is all open source and unity is strong :)
