PHPNW 2013
4 - 6 Oct 2013 at Manchester Conference Centre

I already seen this talk at WhiskyWeb and don't regret seeing it twice, you definitely pick different things up the second time around. It has all the ingredients to be amazing. I give it a 6 star rating :)

Well delivered talk. Good crowd interaction. Lots of good examples and variations of tools.

I personally didn't have an issue with demo'ing of how good New Relic is because it was the truth.

Perhaps less time on a specific product next time to satisfy more people overall.

Great talk let down by the room layout (poor sight lines).

I'd suggest looking into adjusting the code colouring (variable colour wasn't easy to see at the back).

Good tutorial, but I would have liked to see wider use of more components - I felt like the tutorial was too focused on compartmentalising the legacy code.

Good tutorial hampered by some version problems causing oddities. Having everyone on the same version would have helped (bad wifi/internet really didn't help).

Excellent talk delivery. Very good content and lots of indepth information for people to take away. Good diversity of options for people such as (vmware vs vbox) and (puppet vs chef).

Great talk (favourite of the weekend). Lost me briefly at Pokey, but I think that was due to the high pace of the talk (259 slides... wow).

Mind boggling.
Made me feel like a n00b.
I thought I knew what I was doing, before I did this quiz.

The talk did an excellent job of explaining the mis conceptions you can have as a developer and how easy it is to make silly mistakes that are almost impossible to spot when debugging a problem. And of course all the changes between PHP versions everyone should be aware of.
The quiz format was a great way of making this clear.

Good job all round from Lorna/Ivo. Well executed split screen and well paced talk.
