PHPBenelux Conference 2011
28 - 30 Jan 2011 at Hotel Ter Elst, Antwerp

Although I don't think the learning curve is as steep as you said, it's certainly nice to hear that apart from pure performance documentation and the 'hidden magic' are considered important enough to be improved.

I'm guessing that all components, modules, plugins etc will also need to be updated to work with ZF2. Will this be structured in some way or will we just have to wait and see?

Although I had no knowledge on couchDB, this talk gave me a good introduction on the subject. Judging by the title I was afraid it might be a bit too advanced, but that was not the case.
As said before, the code examples were a bit difficult to read.

Great presentation. I found the speaker's presentation on RESTful interfaces even more interesting. I do think he was one of the best speakers at the conference. I'm sure he can make any topic interesting.

This talk made me realise how diverse the php world is. The problems Facebook face are things a lof php developers never have to worry about. Really cool to see the solutions they came up with. Scott managed to deliver the content with great passion.

Great talk. The speaker really knows how to talk to a large audience and he knows what he's talking about. Some great insights on the do's and don'ts of benchmarking.

Great to see a talk combine both technical insights and funny stuff. And I always thought ze germans had no sense of humour ;-)

A nice introduction to Solr. The speaker used the available time well. Gave me enough information to get started on my own.

Nice to see a talk that points people to other stuff (openstreetmap and openlayers) than google maps. Well done introduction on geographical coordinates. But pretty strange to ignore postgresql+postgis, since it is by far the most advanced database for geographical information.

aaawwww we got all mushy! What a very cute but also informational talk about what a community is.
I also learned that I never ever want to go to jail, had some very disturbing images passing by through my head at that point!

But it was a great way to put our minds at rest and leave the conference with a "feel good"-attitude :)

After seeing Stephan's first talk I was very curious what more he could teach me. And again I was amazed by his creativity on this subject. I had a pretty hard time following because of being worn out myself. But I got the good parts I bet, I do not always agree with the given solutions but they sure gave me something to think out and refine, if possible at all.
