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

Really enjoyed the talk, Marcello's delivery is so warm and enthusiastic. I look forward to the opportunity to see him talk again.

Truly professional - the benchmark of conference speaking

Great talk, Jeremy seemed a little nervous but still delivered the subject matter really well. I got the impression that the talk had been squeezed into too short a time slot as it came across as a little rushed. would definitely attend one of Jeremy's talks again.

Thanks for the great feedback. I'm absolutely amazed (in a good way) that so many people find this topic interesting.

Anonymous: "This should've covered how PHP deals with memory allocation, it wasn't a Linux conference."
I absolutely understand why you think this, but i must respectfully disagree. Granted: this was an advanced & in-depth talk about a subject that is out of everybody's (and partially including my) comfort-zone. This however is a "good thing"(tm). One of the major shifts at PHP conferences I have seen since a few years, is that PHP developers are broaden their horizon in every direction possible, because quite frankly: we aren't PHP developers, we are developers who happen to use PHP a lot.

Even if these kind of talks do not have directly a practical use on your next working day (although, I think it actually might), they are also there to give you more insight in the things we take for granted each and every day (take a look at https://github.com/alex/what-happens-when, which shows you what's going on when you type google in a browser. You'll be amazed). Having more knowledge - inside or outside your comfort zone), will help you make better calls on problems you are facing every day, and will help you grow in area's you aren't even expecting or focussing on.





@Miguel I actually have prepared those slides! I've not added them to the final presentation, because it took almost 20 minutes to explain the concepts of memory, zvals, memory allocs in the php core and it would help to answer the question "how much memory (and how) is my system using". But i'm happy to talk about that in another talk :-)

A combination of common sense, lessons learned and considered opinion. With with Chris' humour this lead to an enjoyable, informative and throught provoking talk.

Unfortunately the delivery of this session was a very nervous one. It was a shame because the presenter was obviously passionate about what she was presenting.

The slides were incredibly vague, had Michelle not been so nervous she may have been able to elaborate on the content. As there was no elaboration the talk was a very short one.

In terms of content, there could have been some mention as to how a PHP developer should reconsider some aspects of their workflow to improve accessibility.

I would love to give this talk more than one thumb but unfortunately the combination of all factors discussed it was a one thumb talk!

Very dry talk from a contentious speaker. Seemed to sneer at the fact that not many of the crowd had read semver.org - I looked at it during the talk, and it turned out to be exactly the version number scheme that every software company has used forever.

The rest of the talk was essentially a slow reading of the Composer documentation.

I'm grateful to Jordi for writing Composer, but as echoed by many on the way out of this talk, very rarely is the person who wrote a piece of software the right person to give a talk on it.

Probably my favourite talk of the conference. The speaker was very engaging, and presented the concepts very clearly.

I understand this talk may have been frustrating if you already have knowledge of DDD, but in credit to the speaker he stated this at the beginning to give people an opportunity to change track.

Great talk, enjoyed the slides about agile and devops issues.

There have been a few mentions of the delivery, I think it was quite good, definitely not worth losing a thumbs up for!!

Solid talk with good code examples and explaining diagrams. It was a basic talk but as someone about to consider using messages it was enough.

As others have mentioned, a few slides about why rabbitmq and some use cases would be appreciated.
