PHPBenelux Conference 2013
25 - 26 Jan 2013 at Ter Elst

Learned about a couple of new tools and many I already know. Very inspiring. Made me believe again that I have to concern myself even more with DevOps.

Not quite what I expected. I hoped for a closer look at Silex, but got to know Yolo instead. The part on the Symfony2 components was good (as expected), but could have dug a little deeper, too.

Great, entertaining keynote highlighting some important points.

Good introduction to the how-to and advantages of unit testing with PHPUnit for newbees as myself (and it seemed most other attendees as well). The theoretical introduction was great and very instructive. The hacking session started a bit chaotic as some people (myself included) started thinking more about how to implement the exercise, rather than the actual unit testing itself. However this was compounded by the limited time available to get up and running with the code. But overall a very positive learning experience.

Although I did not win anything I got the chance to throw stressballs at the organizers and the speakers. Geeky but a lot of fun. :)

Haven't ever worked with ZF2 and coming from the Symfony2 world the talk gave me a nice overview of some bigger components of ZF2. Very nice presented and got me interested in take a closer look at some implementations.

Took some very interesting insights from this session. In the end it seemed a bit "unorganized". Not that it disturbed. It was still a lot of fun and interesting. Just recognized it.
