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

I found this talk to be a good introduction to RabbitMQ. James presented it well and had clear examples as well as some useful gotchas. I think this would be the prefect talk to watch if you are just starting to use RabbitMQ for the first time. In someways I think it's scope was a bit limited to a "getting started with RabbitMQ" type guide, but I did enjoy it and it's certainly put RabbitMQ on the map for a possible future technology which I might employ.

This talk started the conference beautifully. Yitz presented his talk in a confident, exciting and engaging way. The messages he was sharing are thankfully messages which are being spread more and more widely thought the development community. Using his own life learning as a reference was an fun, entertaining and engaging way to spread the messages e was sharing. Great talk and a great start to the conference.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful feedback. It seems that in general the talk was well received and for that I am grateful. For those who took an extra moment to leave specific advice or suggestions, you have my appreciation (and those of future attendees of the talk, I'm sure!).

It seems there was some mixed reaction to the inclusion of the Talmudic Maxims in their original. I sought feedback from a dozen or so people on that very point after PHPBenelux and their reaction was unanimous in that I should leave them in as it lends "authenticity". The talk at PHPBenelux, however, was a 60 minute version and therefore included some interactive segments, more examples of those who "get it" and a few more stories, so the actual Talmudic Maxim content (the number of which is the same in both versions) accounts for a smaller portion of the talk. That might have been the difference. I'm strongly considering including them only in translation in future presentations of the 30 minute version based upon your feedback.

Finally, know that the only thing better than positive feedback is to see that the talk made a difference to you. If you left at all inspired, take action! And if you're so inclined, email ([email protected]) or tweet (@coderabbi) about your experience, I'd love to hear how it's going for you!

Thanks again to all who attended!

Thanks for the great talk; content was well prepared and well delivered.
Made me want to try those NoSQL features of PostgreSQL for the next project.

The last time I looked at it; master-master replication was one area that was lacking. I wonder if the inclusion of such practical deployment aspects would be a good addition to the talk. Not directly related to NoSQL Store, but if someone is to use it in real world, these are important too. Or even better; next time, two talks on PostgreSQL :)

Thanks for the talk; great content, great delivery and was very engaging! Entertaining too!
The depth you dived into, with the topic, was just perfect.
I liked the personal-story style of the presentation!
Well done!

The content was alright and was entertaining at the same time. Such talks could easily be very opinionated, but you seem to have found the middle ground. A bit more depth and apt reasoning wouldn't go amiss.

you know this was a php conference?

Nice slides, good pace, nice feel to it all. Friendly and informative. - MK
