PHP UK Conference 2013
21 - 23 Feb 2013 at The Brewery

Reliable and decent speed, despite the number of techies. I even managed a couple of git clones for a large codebase with decent speed (hope it didn't slow things down too much for everybody else).

Food was very good, and there was always coffee and juice available. Staff very friendly. The queues were pretty long, and it was difficult to find somewhere to sit and eat. Would have been nice to have different menus on the two days though.

Interesting talk about Capistrano, what it does, and how to use it; while mentioning some of its shortcomings and how the speaker had worked round them. Good as an introduction to using Capistrano for multi-server deployments, though could perhaps have shown the actual code for a few recipes.

Thanks very much for the feedback Elliot. When I practised the talk with friends I got feedback on speed and space fillers so I could have perhaps done a bit better on it. Unfortunately nerves do sometimes take over and it slips back in. Its something I will work on for sure and if I get the opportunity to talk again I'll certainly aim to improve on it.

@Martin Lyne. Thanks a lot for the feedback. It is a challenge to deliver an hour talk in 45 minutes so I apologize. If there is anything you'd like to talk about or hear more I am at the hackaton space now and staying for the rest of the conference. So just find me.

Great presentation - really liked the visualisation tool - made the role of the message queue components very clear.

The kind of talk that should be compulsory for all developers. And managers. And maybe customers.

Solid first conference talk, and I'd encourage to Jeremy give more talks. The talk gave a good historical context to the problem to be solved, gave practical advice on how to implement Vagrant et al to solve that problem that attendees could immediately go and implement, and gave his thoughts and knowledge on likely near-future developments. All backed by clear, uncluttered and readable slides.

To improve his delivery I'd recommend speaking *much* slower, and trying to avoid 'space filler' words. I counted 68 "you know"s and 53 "erm"s.

One of the best talks on the conference. Very informative and interesting. Funny pictures too. Wielki pozytyw Panie Sebastianie. Pozdrawiam, Rafal

Great talk, I'd have loved to hear more, a few of the talks could have done with more time!
