PHP North West 2016
30 Sep - 2 Oct 2016 at Manchester Conference Centre

I found this talk a little disappointing as a keynote to be honest. Not for the content, because I feel the topic and approach where very promising (although I would have liked to have a little more fun with guesswork on where the world would be without PHP).

It was more about the delivery - which seemed off with a lot of context switching and jokes meant for the in-crowd. I'd say on the whole it did inspire, and made me reflect on the posed statement: "where would I be if it wasn't for PHP..."

Excellent talk, good to see the guts of PHP, (took me right back to my lex and yacc classes at uni :) )

Interesting talk, I haven't looked at Middleware frameworks so this was a good introduction to them for me, not really sure that was the point of the talk however.

Good talk covering well known and lesser known security aspects. However I felt the "nice new website" screen didn't add anything to the overall presentation other than a different background with titles layered over it.

Interesting talk, was good to see some of the aspects of Googles cloud services

Good run through of changes and things to look out for moving from 5 to 7. A few of the points and slides were too quick for me to see any difference between the v5 and v7 implementations though. Understandable given the volume of data however.

An interesting start to the conference, did make me think.

Excellent talk, brilliant finish to the conference, inspired me to push more into finishing off and releasing my own projects OS as well as contributing to others.

Very good talk, lots of information. Personally I would have preferred if the slides used a smaller font and presented more information per slide bullet point style, rather than each bullet point having it's own slide. OK for subject headers etc, but (for me) made it difficult to follow some parts of the talk. This is my only criticism of the talk, the content and presentation of the subject mater was otherwise excellent. Thanks

I liked what was there but it was about 1/3 of the content I was expecting to get
