This was perfectly pitched for me - broke down the headlines and provided practical advice/real-world examples. Particularly useful to have generators explained in-context. Thanks Lorna!
Inspiring and well presented. I now want to upgrade everything ;-)
Feedback point: some of the terms of phase used, had they been said by a male, could have been considered sexist. The one that jumped to mind was "don't worry your pretty little head". It was meant in jest and I personally found it funny (not offended at all). However I feel like if I'd said that on stage, it would/could have been accepted differently by the female members of the audience. I think choice of language in future talks should be considered.
As I said, not a complaint or even a criticism. More like a consideration/food for thought.
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 refreshingly human and personal presentation style, especially following Yitz's talk. I really appreciated the enthusiasm with which the new features were described, with practical examples.
The first half of the talk made me think I had got the wrong stream as it was all stuff I already knew as we already develop on 5.6. The last part though introduced some elements which I never knew about! - EXCELLENT

Some good technical nuggets to take away about upcoming Php features.
Awesome talk, some really great features, time to start a crusade against 5.3!
Practical, useful and inspiringly.
The password explaining was excellent :-)

Very enjoyable talk and presentation
Interesting talk with useful real world examples and advice
Quite insightful and given me a good reason to upgrade, to prevent the boss using <?
Some really useful tidbits and really good explanation of why you should be upgrading PHP versions!

Thank you Lorna for this highly enjoyable and interesting talk.
I am excited about all these new features and how they can change programming paradigms into more beautiful pieces of code.
:)
Really enjoyed this talk, got a lot to think about and upgrading to do! currently using 5.4 at work that's going to change on Monday!
very good overview - would have been nice if it had included the new features of CONSTANTS (like arrays and expressions...)
