PHPBenelux Conference 2014
24 - 25 Jan 2014 at Hotel Ter Elst

The slides and the speaker's accent were issues for me. Fewer words per slide (especially for those of in the back) and making them appear line-by-line would help, otherwise it's too easy to read ahead and lose track of what the speaker was saying. In addition, I also felt the speaker was being vaguely insulting to the audience at times, with remarks about freelancers, intelligence levels and other subtle (and not-so-subtle) jabs.

The topic was interesting, the speaker had some interesting graphics on labor division with different paradigms, and there was a reasonably good intro to functional programming in here. There were some good observations in here and I liked the too-short attempt to explain how modern frameworks might work in a functional paradigm, including entity manipulation. The speaker also stayed fairly calm despite losing time to technical issues and tried to adjust his talk accordingly.

I think this talk has potential but perhaps it needs a different setup and perhaps a slightly different attitude from the speaker.

Great talk, especially for an impromptu uncon session. Should definitely be reworked into an actual talk (but not a live demo as this session was. Worked very well with the small group and without preparation but could be very confusing otherwise). Speaker was a little flat but very smart, handled questions well. Looking forward to seeing more.

Good talk, perhaps a bit fluffy but delivered in an entertaining, off-the-cuff manner. The advice was (refreshingly) more practical than expected and was clearly based on a lot of experience. For a keynote, maybe a little low key. Still, enjoyable.

Very interesting mini-talk and well worth making a full fledged talk out of. A nice addition to all the technical talks and the soft skills talks concerning dealing with humans. I think I noticed you skipping over some philosophical themed slides during your other talk so I'm happy you could do this unconference talk.

I really liked the idea and the topic of the presentation.

I think the main problem with the presentation was the fact that it was already of ambitious length without losing ten minutes to technology failure.

All in all it was interesting, I would like to see this talk again when you do have enough time.

Very well given talk. He took a baseline and started applying different sorts of optimization to it. I will definitely be grabbing these slides whenever I'm trying to improve the performance of my ZF2 application.

just the way all talks should be. Smart, clear, focused. humor.

Clear and interesting talk

Title of talk was misleading. Would have loved to hear why I should choose for PostGres, when I should choose a NoSQL datastore and when a relational store. The sql syntax I can look up on the internet.
