Talk comments
A bit long talk for saying what could be said in short time, but then again maybe some people need it drilled into their heads?
Well covered summary of search engine techniques and technology.
A good talk, well presented. But slightly too long. Good marketing by our headline sponser Microsoft.
Not the best talk on code analysis, but it did raise some interesting points. There are ways to automatically find injection points in a code base. See this talk from PHPUK2008 for more info. http://www.phplondon.org/conference/2008/media/docs/stefan_esser_php_binary_analysis.pdf
CouchDB is interesting but a shame we didn't cover the phpillow stuff. With it being phpuk and all ;). Would have made it a more complete talk.
Excellent summary of stuff out there
Would have been more interesting if delivered by Facebook themselves to the more technical ins and outs could be answered, rather than by the Facebook guy during the questions at the end.
Showing the bog standard generated code wan't of interest.
Good tech session, proper nuts + bolts stuff, loved the demo fails ;) Might have another go at php-gtk stuff after this!
Seemed fixated on register globals and didn't cover other non security code review issues (perhaps I didn't read the overview well?)
Some of the example questions weren't answerable without additional knowledge which we couldn't have.
Meh.
Interesting talk showing the basics of CouchDb. It was a little rushed towards the end though.
