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

Thanks, this was a great talk. I'm the sole PHP developer at the company I work for which means nobody ever sees my code and i'm kind of on my own when it comes to trying to work out the best way to do something.

I was interested in the mentoring stuff that was mentioned, this seems like a good way for me to work with other developers and learn something new. If my code is bad I want to know about it so that I can improve.

This is also one of the reason I am reluctant to get involved with an open source project - code confidence, like you said.

Anyway, I got some nice tips from this talk and i'm hoping I can find a mentor and maybe put some code out there for the world to inspect...

Very good talk, ideal for beginners, some good tips about common mistakes and very good comparison between different provisioners. Definitely need to start playing around with Ansible!

On top of that, I must say that the design of the slides was awesome!

Practicing the Zen of good programming

Talk was packed with insight and facts from Ricard's long experience. Worth watching on video.

Great sharing of your personal experience. I think it would be also good to talk about the fact that the opensource world might be more complicated, especially to be included in some projects, and it's a part of the difficulties.
A big project might have big rules, a smaller one will have smaller rules, but in any case, contributing is always rewarding!

Really informative and useful introduction to what look like a couple of great tools. Definitely need to give StatsD and Graphite a go.

Great talk, it's always good to be reminded stuff about classic algorithms.

The heap sort one would just have needed a tree representation along with the state of the collection of items, but we'll see what can be done for that ;-)
