PHP South Africa - Johannesburg
4 - 5 Apr 2014 at Sci-Bono Discovery Centre Johannesburg

I had the privilege of seeing this talk before it was given at the conference, and Thomas - you did an excellent job. I've got a lot to learn from your presentation skills, and I thoroughly enjoyed your delivery and the content of the talk

Good job mate. Presented in a cool, calm and confident manner. You could've maybe fleshed it out a bit with examples of where certain testing techniques would be wisely used, and that would've padded out the time a bit more, but all-in-all I thought you handled yourself very well

Well done Nick - I would not have guessed that this was your first non-English presentation!

Loved the talk - thought it would just be a simple deep-dive into the new features, but instead it was packed with history, professional advice, interesting historical titbits - and, of course, some new features of PHP!
Great opener for an excellent conference

great tutorial, really enjoyed it

The speaker is like a machine. Speaking so quickly without making a single mistake is simply astounding. I actually enjoyed the quick pace of the talk because it didn't give me a single moment to get distracted. Awesome talk, well done!

Thoroughly enjoyed the laid back style of this presentation compared so some of the other more serious talk styles.

The subject matter was extremely informative especially since I've been planning on implementing Vagrant for a while now, but for some reason the speaker didn't seem as confident with the material as he was with the material that was discussed at the security workshop. It might have been down to the fact that there were far less people in the security workshop, and the large room of people was far more intimidating. I know I would be intimidated for sure. I wasn't going to mention this, but my colleagues also mentioned that the speaker seemed to be a bit nervous, so thought I would mention it since I wasn't the only person who noticed.

I found this talk very informative and interesting. When Phing was briefly discussed yesterday, I was pretty clueless what the point was, but I am glad that this presentation cleared things up for me. I now see how Phing can be useful and am considering replacing our current deployment tool, Capistrano, with Phing.

Definitely gonna be trying phing out. Very informative presentation. Thanks
