Talk comments
Nice to hear 'from the horses mouth' on how to use composer and appreciated the emphasis on semver.
Although I didn't learn anything new with this talk, it provided some nice clarification of PHP's current status and why we should be upgrading at our earliest opportunity. This was the first time I had got to hear Lorna speak, and really liked her enthusiastic and entertaining delivery.
A good, solid keynote delivered with clarity and at a good pace.
A very good useful talk with some useful information. One tip Liam gave me will likely save the company I'm currently working for thousands of pounds, and their users many millions of valuable microseconds.
This was in my opinion the most entertaining talk of the conference, points well articulated, often humorously, with good opportunities for audience participation. Although Anne-Julia was actually advocated against doing so, it has inspired me to investigate using unicode in PHP, so I can use animal emoticons as variable names on not-so-serious projects.
Nailed it! We can and we should change the world for the better!
Great talk; good points well made, explained and delivered in a lively and engaging way.

A great deep dive into how the linux kernel handles and allocates memory. Found the breakdown of a number things extremely useful. For example:
- How processes are allocated virtual memory
- How swap works
- Buffers, Cache
- Overflow
- Forking and the copy on write implementation in the kernel.
A real eye-opener on just how efficient memory management is at the lower levels. Joshua delivered this one very well, and kept the audience engaged throughout.
Bravo sir.
Michelle seemed quite nervous, but needn't have been as the content was good and her delivery was enthusiastic and fun.
