PHPBenelux Conference 2012
27 - 28 Jan 2012 at Best Western Ter Elst

This was the first presentation of Rowan I saw, but man, this guy can present! He's calm, he's clear in what he has to say, but he also speaks very clearly. Add some experience and an interesting subject to that and you get an excellent mix for a talk.
I hope his pointers help me improve my estimates :-)

Interesting topic. But the presentation could have been better.

First of all: one can cover traits, without having examples from Zend, or from a very specific case in a very specific environment. Use some basic class that you explain at the beginning, and then toy around with that - keeps the differences far easier to understand.

Also it would give you as a speaker the chance to know what slide you're actually on, and quickly see what the point of the code is you are showing to your audience - some notes on your own screen would also come in handy. It would certainly help with the wondering about for example a slide on abstract classes, even when it's completely understandable what the slide was trying to say.

The talk however was good, as Nick certainly knows what he's talking about. Even in the Alice-in-wonderland situation.

Cant wait to use it!

Yep, the intro on HTTP could be skipped (as we SHOULD all know about this) but the story was very clear. The examples were clear and I quite liked the topic. A workshop would be awesome!

Great, fun to watch presentation. All must-know tricks about writing console apps and daemonizing processes were covered and I believe most attendees regret the talk not being a workshop! Jeroen, thanks and keep on going!

I would've liked to see more examples of deploy scripts or some complex examples.

Patrick, thank you for your feedback.

To bad my talk does not match your opinion. Just want to make sure you understand the main focus of the talk.. that sr - jr should not be enforced and that experience can not be a measurement of knowledge.

See you around in other conferences, i hope we'll get to talk and share opinions, for the M-A-P setup has worked in my past years of work.

Nice indeed! Covered enough for an hour.
