PHPNW 2013
4 - 6 Oct 2013 at Manchester Conference Centre

Really good talk about what I should and shouldn't be doing in my Symfony projects.

A little difficult to change all of my existing 2.1 projects. But future projects will have a much better structure.

Very well presented, especially when English isn't your 1st language.

Interesting talk and it would be good to know, in more detail, how Dan builds his stats and graphs used in the presentation (I do remember a question on this, but can't remember the answer).

Well presented, useful information.
Good speaker that kept me interested.

Fantastic talk; a pragmatic and mature discussion of coding standards. Particularly liked the emphasis on things other than simple syntax matters such as where the spaces/curly brackets go! I'll definitely be checking out the PHP Mess Detector and Volker's standards generator. Best of all the talk was hilarious! :)

I enjoyed the talk and speaking style it was well delivered and the various points made really well. I found the correlating of PHP versions to Drupal releases quite interesting. The last time I used Drupal for Development was version 6 and now that version 8 is using some Symfony components it might be something to consider for future projects. Marcus is also clearly knowledgeable on Drupal so the Q and A was really good.

Anthony has an excellent way of getting across SOLID that will definitely help re-evaluate my coding practices

(Extra addition)

I think the combined social/hackathon got confusing too, ticket-wise, and there weren't enough tickets available. It seems if you didn't get into the (very limited) hackathon - or just didn't want to code on a Friday night - you had no official option for the night

Taking the speakers out for their meal for the first hour worked in theory, but in practice it meant that a lot of project leads weren't around to welcome newcomers to their project and show them what to do. Of course, there's other community members around who can help - but often there are questions you need to ask the lead

Nice food, though my own food allergy limited choice.
I'm guessing that I was the only person there with a spinach allergy as the curry was full of it despite being asked to fill in a food questionnaire before the event.

One of the best talks of the weekend. Highly entertaining :)
