PHPNW 2013
4 - 6 Oct 2013 at Manchester Conference Centre

Interesting insight to the wider cyber sec industry. Would like to see content more relevant to web devs e.g. pen testing rather than DDOS.

I really enjoyed this. I can't decide whether more detail would have been helpful or just mind-bending (first thing Sunday morning). I'm also not sure whether it would have benefitted from some overview of how the js/css is structured (I know it's a php conf!) to get the full picture.

Funny, loads of content, and I will be looking at this with my devs next week, so a result I'd say!

Good talk, if a little short. Maybe a little bit of technical content wouldn't have hurt. Having said that, I wouldn't have considered Cilex before, but I will in future!

Well delivered talk on some of the ideas around mutability and functional structures, with plenty of examples in PHP. I enjoyed it a lot!

As an Ansible beginner I found the talk really useful. The live demo was worked flawlessly and clearly conveyed the lower entry barrier compared to Chef/Puppet.

Great talk, great to think about some alternative to the way we've always done things, even if a little heavy for my fuzzy Sunday head!

Good talk, but ran just a bit too short. While Silex and Cilex are in the title, that didn't really feel like the prime message of the talk - it was to start small with the problems you have, and expand where it makes sense. Silex and Cilex just happen to be tools which fit that model (and this particular use case) well.

I think there is probably a richer version of this talk that combines two or three different stories about building and evolving applications using small adaptable components. Having just one case study meant that it was easy to be distracted by interesting technical details (I ended up skimming the codem docs during the talk!) that were mentioned, but that actually distracted slightly from the central point. Combining multiple stories could illuminate the core principle more.
