PHPBenelux Conference 2020
24 - 25 Jan 2020 at Ter Elst

I really liked the on point examples. I would have liked a little bit more consistency in the examples; in the first half you mentioned immutability and getters, in the second half this was omitted.

I've learned the difference between most (may be all) caching techniques. Loved the explanation and screenshots on how it works behind the scenes.

Great as always. Loved the addition of the games :-)

One request: also give veggie snacks with the fries (not just the kaaskroket).

Good talk, entertaining speaker.

Only a three because of two reasons:
1. the jokes were bad. The way the talk was described/announced raised different expectations. There really was only one good joke (the last one).
2. After about 15 mins i had difficulty keeping interested because it became a lot of the same. PHP is only as strong as the community, you're right ... but the repetition of that point felt very American to me and made it hard to keep following.

Great talk on how the various stages of testing impact time/performance.
Imho this talk could easily be converted into an api testing workshop for php benelux 2021.

Great talk on the enum data type.
Nice comparison on how the enum type is implemented in other languages and how it is used in userland solutions.

Interesting talk on an equally interesting tool.
The talk itself could benefit by explaining hexagonal architecture and how this tool enforces the separation of the layers.
Overall good talk, but needs a bit more practice.

Great talk, learned a few new tricks along the way.
Also liked the highlighting using your pointer, more speakers should use this.

Good talk on the new bits, but the part about semver and deprecations could've been left out imo.

Very good high level explanation on end-to-end distributed tracing.
