PHPNW 2014
3 - 5 Oct 2014 at Manchester Conference Centre

I really enjoyed this talk. It was easy enough to follow although you've covered some interesting points on internals.

I struggled with this talk somewhat. Some of the code examples (i.e. generators) wasn't clear to me and could have been delivered better.

I wasn't too keen how Davey opened by telling us that he didn't like bullet point presentations and then continued to present it in that style. It felt a bit like a bash to the way others present and really isn't necessary.

The second talk I've heard Mike give. I enjoy his presentation style and find he's a clear communicator.

The downside of this was the title, it felt misleading. Still, I enjoyed the content and delivery.

I didn't take much away from this keynote. There were definitely bits I could relate to but there seemed to be a few tangents and stalls that had an impact on the overall presentation.

After reading the other reviews I'm guessing I've missed something key, so I'll wait until the video comes out just to check.

Regards anyway Volker, it must be scary as hell to stand up there and present to so many people!

I found Tobias to be a very clear, concise presenter. It was easy for me to follow what was being presented and the examples were simple yet effective.

The content kept my concentration unlike some of the other talks.

A little short, but that's acceptable given that it was his first talk, it's just a learning curve that I'm sure he will address next time.

Enjoyed this talk. Plenty of easy to follow examples and clear principles demystified.

As far as constructive feedback, I think a few things could be improved (but realize that the talk was very good without it):

* Take a breath and slow down a little bit. It wasn't that it was hard to follow, but that it came off almost ranty with the speed. But perhaps that's also what gave it some of its charm and impact...

* Present the slides fully (without showing part of the next on the bottom)

* Keep that passion. It comes across in every talk, and really make it compelling...

This talk was exactly what I expected it to be (but that's good). Lorna did offer a warning that the talk was an introduction, and despite being a bit hesitant as to whether or not to stay, it was worth if it just for affirmation that the concept is solid.
Lorna has a very distinct presentation style that is consistent every time I see her (i.e. keynote last year). I do think at times it can be a little be impersonal, but then does it need to be? It's always very clear and well rehearsed.

One of the more interesting talks of the weekend for me. I have to admit, I was more interested in the features of hack, and would have enjoyed a gentle introduction rather than the intricacies of the compiler as it was way over my head, but well delivered.
