PHP UK Conference 2010
26 - 27 Feb 2010 at Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, Islington, London, United Kingdom

Nice and clear presentation. Gave me some information to take with me and use as input on future projects.

Really enjoyed the talk. The first half was quite slow, but second half picked up. I liked the presentation style and the examples were clear

Great presentation gave me something to think about.

A good show of the work that is involved on doing a security audit. Though because time was running short I think the full potential got lost. As being a pentester myself I still see register global or an emulation of it on a regular base (as people are commenting it isn’t used anymore). To increase effectiveness of the talk I think its wiser to focus on one point. Either the audit itself or the business involved to doing one (process/project steps). A tip 2 do a black box test quickly with a tool are Netsparker and Acunetix. There are a few others as well its worth taking a look at them to see if they are useful in the setup of a pentest. Though as always there are false positives.

Interesting and engaging stuff. Was quite interested in hearing real time stories about where she's used REST etc

Although I use most of the things he talked about already, was still interesting to know that another developer does that same!

Interesting things came out of this talk, cramming a lot of technical info into a short space of time, room was cold with the a/c going on throughout. !

Enjoyed the talk, lots of interesting points. Agree with some of the comments above that maybe calling ORMs "bad" without elaborating may put newbies off when really the audience should be told to research and use ORMs properly when they fit a certain need. It is still possible to keep your database logic away from your model with ORMs (although I agree that they tend to overlap a lot by default), and Doctrine 2.0 basically leads you in exactly that direction.

I much prefer talks that say "avoid this and do this instead because..." rather than "never do this". I feel that approach makes people less defensive and more willing to research alternatives. - a mon avis :)

Entertaining - a keynote needs to wake up the delegates ready to take on the day and Josh achieved this. The content was not overly specific or technical - and some parts were tough to agree on (write code that works now instead of code that could also be useful later is hard to swallow for OSS fans) but gave food for thought all the same.

This was a step up from just outlining some of the new features of PHP 5.3, with concrete examples and a thorough presentation of dependency injection. Could maybe have been better described so people knew what to expect.
