PHP UK Conference 2012
24 - 25 Feb 2012 at Business Design Center

Great talk; particularly enjoyed the "carrot and stick" unorthodox approach! Lots of (sadly) recognisable elements in there, but very amusing and well presented.

Thanks Johannes, this was one of my favourite talks of PHPUK. As someone with little C knowledge, it was really interesting to see under the hood and start thinking about PHP from the bottom up. I want to know more!

Now I'm off to buy K&R.

Interesting talk. I felt you were slightly nervous at points, but you had an excellent command of the topic and the amusing zombie references kept the talk entertaining. Lots to take away.

Great talk. You were very engaging with the audience, and great fun to listen to. The real-world examples were good to hear, and lots to take away and implement.

Very good. It appears there's definitely a large amount of tools available for free. Good presentation, and I particularly liked the tips such as searching your code for emotive response eg "wtf".

I found this particularly useful as a good starting point for those apps where you may need to scale shortly but aren't sure of the best approach. The step-by-step scaling slides were good eg single server, separate MySQL out, etc. It could have perhaps done with a bit more technical detail, but aside from that, Thijs is an energetic and engagin speaker.

Really enjoyed this talk. A good honest approach to where you started and where you are now. Also interesting to hear the different perceived values of testing from both a development and management perspective, with the overview vs detailed reports. Lots of ideas to take away from this.

Top opening to the conference, and a great talk from Rasmus. Engaging, and a good mix of topics within it.

Was definitely worth to come and see, great talk, Congratulations June!

I think you handled the oo problems well, in fact it made it more entertaining - which means I remember it better. The subject was well-presented, a bit tongue-in-cheek, adding to your own style of presenting. Hope to see another talk from you soon!
