PHPBenelux Conference 2010
29 - 30 Jan 2010 at Best Western Hotel Ter Elst, Antwerp, Belgium

Very useful to see an example of lambdas and closures in practice. Nice intro to the essence of the 'dependency design pattern' and easy to follow, despite the complex nature of the last pieces of code.

Being able to present a difficult topic in an understandable way is a talent few possess.

Very nice presentation, with a lot of good content and a good knowledge of the product. Learned a lot and it just gave me a lot of more work, because after seeing the presentation i have to throw away our own lucene impementation and migrate to Solr, thanks a lot! :)

Very useful talk, well executed, easy to follow. I am not an active user of SOAP services, but I am convinced to give it a try.

Nice Austin Powers joke ;-) heheh

I was not very impressed to be honest. While both projects are "young" and there might not be a lot of polish, it just didn't come across as well thought out due to technical issues, missing demonstration files and language issues (and the fact that lunch was long overdue). But don't let this come across that the presenters were bad or the technology sucked, it just didn't come across like it should have.

Like others said before, ill prepared which made it difficult to follow. Also, leave the introducing of each other for the social and skip to the technical part of the presentation right away.

I am sure APM and pinba are interesting pieces of software, but the talk could not convince me and had too little usefull information in it.

I had heard about CouchDB, but not studied NoSQL databases before. So for me the introduction to CouchDB was taxing enough. Maybe two sessions would have been more appropriate for such a large topic. There is no way you can explain NoSQL database, MapReduce and how to do it all from SQL in an hour.

Nice roundup about php and the cloud. Would have likes to see more of the php glue in the ibuildings way slide but overall a very comprehensive overview

Very nice and professional presentation. Source formatting in code samples was unreadable (the purple) but otherwise no issues. Nice introduction to closures in php 5.3 and i'm very exited in Symfony 2 after seeing the code samples!

Nice talk, but i did not always agree. While i can follow the need to entice volunteer open-source developers to fix issues, i do believe that the professional ethics of a group that produces software should consider a bug in software they produce/maintain to be enough of a reason to fix it. And is there are parts that are not maintained, move then to unsupported plugins on pecl and not let them rot unsupported in the main tree.

Excellent talk, entertaining, tweetable and to the point! A big thumbs up!
