PHP UK Conference 2014
21 - 22 Feb 2014 at The Brewery

Joe is a great speaker, and deserves to do more keynotes on conferences IMHO. Really enjoyed the keynote.

@javier: People needing to know more about devops/ops in general is why I submitted the talk. To be honest, I think it would make an excellent presentation for a side-track. Not sure about having such talk on the main track though (although I never mind, obviously). Luckily, more and more developers are getting more curious about these things, so expect more ops-related talks in the future!

Hello James, I'm really curious on the 2 star rating. What did you miss on the talk? Would you liked to have more (in-depth) info on how / why to use RPM? Real life use-cases etc? Hope you still had an enjoyable talk nevertheless!

Thanks all for the good reviews. I showed you some of the quirks of the SPL which can bite you when you are a beginner, but the message of the talk is that even despite these quirks popping up now and then, actually using the SPL will benefit you in the end. Learn and love the SPL, and don't hesitate to blog your experiences on it!

Solid and practical. Probably will try out some of the tools advertised.
One remark. Bonus slides were good, if not for the speed we would've missed them. :)

Solid talk, great speaker, on topic, everything laid out in details.

Best one I've attended. On topic, solidly presented. Everything I needed.

Good talk, good speaker, good material.
A bit general, but I didn't attend because of Symphony anyway :)

It was nice to hear what can you expect at big production sites, you can see that Glen is experienced.
Good point about testing architecture.

Apart from that hardly any content and short.

The presenter was nice and seemed like an experienced guy.
No idea why would this topic be chosen for a conference.

Very, very basic, nothing to do with PHP whatsoever.
Anyone who wants people to call him a software developer should know these things, at least the classification of sort algorithms.

Not to mention the search algorithms which were even more basic, and the author failed to mention that they work for sorted data. (Yes, I know it was implied, but... )

This is one of the talks I would switch because it didn't teach me anything.

@author: Don't get upset with my review, the presentation itself was cool, I could see you are interested in the subject, but I don't think there is place for this at a conference.
