PHPBenelux Conference 2013
25 - 26 Jan 2013 at Ter Elst

Great talk on a more theoretical subject. Slides were perfectly done and made it more clear to the audience. More items in the arrays would have been very nice, or if you did several iterations for each sorting method (you only did for the first one).

Sometimes you were hard to understand/hear because you were not speaking loud enough and standing in the darkest corner of the room.

I had expected this a bit more high level, there were a few good pointers that i received, but i would not call this a masterclass sql, more a profound introduction to sql. Speaker was good and enthousiastic

This talk was not what I expected when I read the summary. I expected a wider and more in depth talk on Silex.

Live coding is nice, but some slides with some code explained step-by-step would have been more clarifying. It felt that this talk was poorly preparated.

You're obviously an experienced speaker, it shows in the fluency of your talk the way the presentation builds up (and the presentation-design-team surely helped, I'm sure :)).

However, I was expecting a different kind of talk based on the title. This was a very good guideline on the tools used to scale, but it didn't really show the painpoints in scaling a developer team, what went wrong and what went right. At what point did you first start splitting teams? When did the need for self-written internal tools exceed the availability of tools out there?

Nonetheless, this was informative and funny, I'd love to see more of these kind of talks. :-)

This was a pretty detailed talk about Gearman vs. ZeroMQ. The good build-up of first explaining the key terms and then matching them together payed off. Very informative!

As was already mentioned above, more code examples would be appreciated (perhaps real-life ones from ZeroMQ as used in a project instead of the theoretical examples from the site).

I enjoyed the talk, the clear code examples showed a good reference to before/after scenarios.

I'm sure you already know this, but you speak very quickly - it may be usefull to breath once in a while in between slides. :-)

I'd love to see a follow-up talk with more code examples and perhaps some benchmarking (file_get_contents() vs. fread() in memory/CPU consumption).

Best talk of the conference! Interesting stuff, illustrated with a real world example. There might have been some more code examples in the presentation. However, Andrei made an example available on Github, which you can find here: https://gist.github.com/4642209. A big thank you for that!

The presentation itself was well structured with great slides. Well done!

Missing some real world examples here. Great speaker with a good sense of humor.

Brilliant and chaotic ending!

Perhaps you should revert to asking people to put their card in a box somewhere to avoid the raffle hassle next time ;)
