PHP UK Conference 2015
18 - 20 Feb 2015 at The Brewery

Interesting an thought provoking

Really enjoyed the talk, it got my appetite going for working with these new JS frameworks. As suggested by others I think ditching the Silex stuff would be best for the talk - I can understand why you didn't though as it was a PHP conference after all!

I thought this was very well delivered and contained a perfect level of information to get me excited about using Apigility on future projects. It was pitched and described at the correct level and I took away exactly what I expected when I first read the talk, which is indicative of a successful presentation in my mind.

The talk was well delivered and Jenny is plainly a confident speaker. But as others have alluded to it felt like a telling off. I guess I'm 'lucky' to fall in to a category of delegate that doesn't ever suffer from discrimination, though. I'm not saying that these topics don't need to be discussed - and to be honest my three thumb rating probably reflects my feeling toward the fact that this type of talk has to exist at all (I really wish that everyone were decent human beings and didn't need this type of talk), rather than a reflection ont he delivery of the talk. Personally, I would've preferred a more positive opening talk to the day.

Talk was too political for my liking -- lots of references to social justice and wealth redistribution rather than practical market-based solutions which we as developers are able to implement.

Liked the content, especially discussions of how developers can help the third world, but would like to know how Davey would go about getting ahold of all the tel nos to send text messages to as I doubt there's a per-village public database.

Felt like the speaker tried to go over too much in a single talk.

It would have been nice to split this into two talks, one aimed at debugging and one at testing.

It was interesting, but very much a skim over the topics rather than an in-depth tutorial.

Looking at the programme it was the most relevant of all the sessions on at that time. However, I felt that the content was more focussed on Linux architecture than PHP itself. Learnt the odd thing but as a developer and not a systems person didn't get as much out of it as I thought I might.

Joshua delivered the talk well and im sure those more at a systems level would have gained more from it.

Both useful and engaging with many helpful pointers to tools we as developers need to install to help diagnose issues. Good practical demonstration and excellent references to advice and support

A lot of technologies discussed but none in any real detail, its a good jumping off point for further investigation but I feel that more visual display of when the tools like Jenkins and phing complete tasks and when they work together in the process.

Basically more pictures with arrows :)

Thanks

Carlos Ortega: Thanks for your comment. Will try to take that into account for next time. The talk as it was given at #phpuk15 was influenced by a lot of feedback I got in the past.
