PHP UK Conference 2011
24 - 25 Feb 2011 at Business Design Centre

Very informative as it concentrated on other than the "usual suspects". Particularly liked the dependency injection part.

An enjoyable talk but too much for me to take in at one go. I look forward to the slides/video so I can go over it again.

A good talk from a capable and knowledgeable speaker. Slight overlap with Sebastian's talk but I learnt a lot and am pleased to have attended. Thanks.

I liked the talk. I have always found Sebastian worth listening to. PHPUnit is part of the drive to better quality thus should come into the talk, but I felt there was a bit too much focus on it. Its a tool I use daily (thanks Sebastian) so for me personally I was hoping to hear more about other areas of Agility and Quality that I know less about. For me overall it was certainly worth going to the talk and thanks for giving it.

Knowing nothing about development for mobile devices it gave me a good overview and got me interested in looking further. Well delivered. Shame PHP is not really a mobile/phone language but backend.

Good talk, holding the audience. Particularly liked the anecdote "Press next to continue" (the "Next" button not the word "next" in the instruction).

Really enjoyed this one, thanks!

I was meaning to look at ZeroMQ anyway, but luckily Ian did such a brilliant job that I can probably jump right in and implement the stuff I need. The pacing of the talk was good, as well as the examples, and Ian had good answers to the questions people asked afterwards.

Always enjoy David's talks and this was no exception - in-development demos aside, the content was excellent, and his practical experience with hadoop and related technologies was really excellent to hear, with many useful asides during the talk.

Really interesting exploration of the dynamo and big table work, and how they have influenced the current crop of NOSQLs, and the strengths and weaknesses of each of the basic types and the systems that implment them.

I think that the talk could have benefited from some restructuring, to look at the dynamo inspired systems (voldemort etc.) when looking at dynamo, and perhaps use something like cassandra to move into discussing the bigtable structure. I also thought the graph section was a little slim, as this is an interesting area that the PHP community isn't using so much, but there was just so much information that it would have probably been more suited to a two hour tutorial than a 50 minute talk.

Lorenzo's knowledge on the subject was unquestionable, and his enthusiasm came across, which for me made this a very enjoyable talk.
