PHPBenelux Conference 2017
27 - 28 Jan 2017 at Hotel Ter Elst

Good talk! Picked up a lot of things, too bad the time ran out so fast.

I will be coming back to this talk and it's slides, it had a lot of useful information on what to do when things go wrong.

Good overview how contributing to open source can influence and improve a person's life.

Great beard, great slides and great talk! Couldn't tell it was your first time. You missed an orange dot at the "refactoring." slide btw. ;)

Loved the format of the talk - introduce and explain new concepts, let us work with those concepts by working on an assignment/example, walk through it together with Matthias, move onto new concepts and new assignment, rinse and repeat.

Covered all the basics of DDD well I think, plus had lots of useful additional information, how and when to use DDD. Had the opportunity to ask questions and get answers using the example we were working on.

Really well done, I learned a lot.

@Thijs - I agree that the abstract needs updating, sorry for misleading you. It turns out that most open source projects have excellent getting started guides, which makes delivering a talk on how to navigate open source projects much harder.

Very fun an engaging! the story that was woven around the content was well thought out and brilliantly delivered. Props for dressing up like Indiana Jones!

The talk focuses on a lot rather simple and obvious methods which most programmers already know.

The description of the talk is a bit misleading. There is no actual debugging of a real open source project. But a lot common knowledge slides. It's a beginner talk, perhaps mention this in the description.

The delivery is ok, great slides, but throughout the presentation the tone of voice is a bit monotone for me.

Great talk, might go too far / be too technical for some people but I loved it. Picked up a couple new things to try out. Next time I file a bug report it'll be better!

Interesting talk, great to see someone promoting functional programming in PHP. Thankfully a basic knowledge of Scala helped me to understand the content that was delivered from an very engaging speaker.

I got the impression from the back of the room however, that some of the points & examples discussed were not clearly understood. This may be because there was a lot of content that was delivered very very quickly under the assumption that the majority of the audience has some understanding of some basic concepts in functional programming.

I would suggest a bit more of an introduction to some of the concepts in functional programming at the start of the talk... In my opinion this would make an excellent workshop/tutorial session
