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

The wireless was poor, which as Derick mentioned was a shame since last year it worked brilliantly. Connecting was no problem but browsing was dog slow.

Was pleased that things like VPN and IRC worked okay, but HTTP was very slow.

Quiet to start with, and a shame they didn't open the bar, but downstairs wasn't too far to travel.

I was a little disappointed by this talk. I have great respect for Sebastian and was very much looking forward to learning from such a knowledgeable professional.

The delivery was clear and well paced. I would have preferred less time devoted to the analogies and more time spent exploring dark launches, feature flags and gradual ramps.

It provided a good introduction to software quality but much of the content was not new to me or anyone who follows the great work of Sebastian and thephp.cc. I would love to see more about continuous delivery.

Well done; I liked it! (Not really much else to say :-) ).

Great talk. Morgan clearly knows this stuff inside and out.

Awesome. I now most certainly will have a look at Varnish when I have the need for it. It was both well presented, and covered a lot of topics. A joke here and there (making fun of the English) was executed well too.

So much theory! I liked that, but I had not expected it. I was expecting more of a through comparison between the different NoSQL databases. I know that MongoDB and CouchDB are quite different, but I have not the faintest clue on how, and what I should checkout to not fall into pitfalls with either of them. So I would focus a bit less on the theory, and a bit more on comparing the different NoSQL databases in more detail.

Very inspiring! Ian's presentation style was clear and held my attention. The content was very well structured and pitched at the right level for me. The talk left me eager to learn more and with the confidence to dive straight in.

The topic was good, and well covered. It was a bit of a shame the demos didn't quite work, and that showed that preparation was lacking a bit. I was also not too happy with some of the comments such as a "that's what she said" and some comments about somebody's mum; even though that person was heckling a little.

I liked this talk. It covered so much however that I'll have to check the slides again :-)
