PHP UK Conference 2016
18 - 19 Feb 2016 at The Brewery

Multiple new capabilities uncovered and demoed, useful and enjoyable

Really useful hands on experience sharing. Quite a lot was covered and it will need some going back and digesting as I will definitely find this material useful at some point in the near future.

I thought I already knew about regular expressions. And, sure enough, I did. Right up until 20 minutes in when it got super complicated, and then I was lost. I'll definitely need to go away and look these up and try them in real world scenarios (which was what was missing from this presentation, imo). Sadly, I'm left feeling more worried about regular expressions than before I came in!

Very informative. Will definitely be taking a look at Expressive.

The best non-key note talk of the conference. Very good presentation style, relaxed but confident. Great technical understanding and good coverage of the important topics. Brilliant question answering, kept things light-hearted while informative

Fair amount of slide reading. Presenter tended to babble a little. Terminology was sporadically used that may or may not have been familiar to the audience (e.g. immutability) with little explanation. Some visuals were complex and not easily consumable at a glance. Presentation of the content seemed a bit dry at times. Was what it said on the tin, though I admittedly would have preferred a talk focused on CQRS/ES aspects with practical examples.

Really informative, excellent presentation.

This talk looked like it was going to be advise on how to be a good mentor, providing tips and techniques on what makes a good mentor. This was very different from what this talk was actually about. The talk itself was not that bad although I felt like a couple of minutes on google and I could have found most of the information in the talk such as the tools and platforms.

This was the talk I was waiting for when I first saw the schedule, and it didn't disappoint.
Rob's calm and well paced speaking style means that all information he puts across is absorbed.
The content of the talk was great, and I can't wait to start moving our applications over to ZF3 components.

I also agree that the future of our community is to start depending on abstractions (psr-7, container-interop) rather than concrete libraries, meaning we can switch frameworks at will, awesome!

Very insightful, excellent coverage of new features with good examples of usage. Very enthusiastic speaker, clearly enjoys what she does. Brilliant and shameless plugs about her consultancy work. Thoroughly enjoyed.
