PHPNW 2013
4 - 6 Oct 2013 at Manchester Conference Centre

Funny, engaging and thought provoking. This guys a real english @ircmaxell - apparently.

Good talk with a reasonable amount of grounding on HTTP.

Would have been nice to have gone a little further into REST than basic CRUD operations. When demostrating a POST request with n number of failures before success, it would have been a perfect opportunity to mention the OPTIONS header for retrieving basic info on what a POST actually requires before running through a number of failed scenarios.

Marked down slightly as she didn't mention the chrome postman extension.

Good session covering a lot of ground. The actual 'doing' half seemed quite compressed (by internet/number of people/trying to get things set up) and I wonder if it might be even better as two sessions: the first covering whys and wherefores and different strategies; the second doing more hands-on playing with implementing them.

Great talk. Using pre-recorded demos worked brilliantly, and meant there were no messups, but it did mean Lorna was unable to demonstrate a feature that an audience member had asked about (showing the user modified headers in Charles). Otherwise it was a great talk, some of which I knew but I did pick up some new things. She didn't turn the Charles bit into too much of a sales pitch as well :)

Thank you Derick, helpful tutorial, lots of examples and exercises. Too bad we did not have time for more.

I've seen the keynote a couple of times before, but it is still an excellent keynote and a good reminder.

Amazing concept of marrying the business rules with the code at a more visible level.

Simply brilliant :)

A phenomenal keynote. There were some brilliant comments on developers, on the community and on programming in general. I'm looking forward to reviewing the slides, when I can focus on the material as well as the delivery!

Great talk :)
