PHPBenelux Conference 2013
25 - 26 Jan 2013 at Ter Elst

Nice talk, starting from scratch and going to expert in 1 hour.

I knew how to write some basic regexes, but after this talk, I knew a lot of features i didn't know about, and learned to to improve efficiency.

The only feedback point is, give some quick samples and explenation in the introduction. A friend of mine, sitting next to me, didn't knew about regexes, and then the introduction is vague. He got it by the end of the talk though :)

This was the best talk of the conference for me! thanks a lot

Good overview again, *a lot* of information (almost overwhelming). I already reviewed your other talk and only now find the word I was looking for to describe how I experience your style of presentation: clinical. As an attendee, I personally would like to see more humour in your otherwise excellent talks.

Very inspirational keynote! I was all ears :)

The scale Facebook is working on is almost unimaginable to me. Thanks for sharing some of your insights, experiences and troubles. You're a good, confident and witty speaker and the talk was good. At times, due to the questions, it was a bit tough to follow, but that's to be expected with so many people curious about Facebook's inner workings.

I have no idea what I should do with React*, and I don't care. This talk was awesome! It was well structured, the speaker was funny and engaging, confident and composed (telephone goes off, "silence!" and speaker continues, hilarious!)

* The talk made everything clear, I just have no business case for it :)

This talk was my favourite of all this weekend. Content and structure and presentation were all in line. I have used the pomodoro technique in pair programming but found it difficult to keep it up alone. Your example sheet was inspiring and I will start using that idea. To me, this is the reason to go to conferences over reading blogs; the personal experience of the speaker is what really adds value to a talk.

Good talk, covered a lot of points, good examples too. I do think that criticising the Facebook and Google pages was not valid; even if you were right in theory, they have proven their efficacy in practise (as we heard from Scott :) )

Good overview, good speaker. Nothing to remark!

As a speaker you are still fantastic. The subject was great and the examples were really cool. The only thing I would remark, is that I think it's a disservice to the audience to present something you say you don't really understand. Maybe I misunderstood, because it certainly didn't seem like you don't understand heapsort, but I think it's a bit weird to say: "I'm going to present you with this information, a quarter of which works but don't ask me why". Maybe you could add a picture of the tree structure of a heap and show what happens when the heap has to be rebalanced?
