PHPNW 2013
4 - 6 Oct 2013 at Manchester Conference Centre

Interesting material presented by someone that clearly understands the different coding paradigms... though I'm not totally certain of the justifications for using functional programming in a lot of practical applications. It still feels like an "ivory towers" theoretical paradigm that hasn't yet found a niche for itself in the real world.

Good overview of using events and event-driven development, mentioning both the pro's and the cons of using events from different points of view. It did run a bit short, but given the amount of information that was thrown at us in such a short time, that was not a bad thing at all.

good talk. Simple demo/example worked well.

Great talk and speakers. Something I'd no real intention of using going into the talk but would like to check out now.

Great talk, happy that I'm doing most of the things already (apart from maybe, you know, the keeping fit bit?).

Interesting setup having it done across two rooms... I originally thought (when I came in, and Ivo was on the screen, but not on the stage) that Ivo was doing the talk by teleconference :)

I don't think I've seen Lorna talk before, but it was obvious that she was comfortable and enthusiastic.

Thanks for all the feedback much appreciated. I do agree I must try talk a bit slower and I did cover a lot. Got any questions come find me and let's chat.

Well presented and clearly knowledgeable of the subject matter, but many of the topics James touched upon would have warranted a full-length talk in their own right... perhaps focusing on a specific element (Errors, Exceptions or Logging) would have been better rather than trying to summarise all 3 in a 20-minute talk


Don't forget, the error log is a "to do" list

Could have been better if this had been more focused (pick chef or puppet, not both) and done a bit more slowly/in detail. However a good talk from someone who clearly knows the topic.

As always a very enthusiastic talk from Ian that made me want to go and start tinkering with the app engine almost immediately. Having Mandy there was great as it provided an extra level to the talk. The example using joind.in was well delivered and came across much better than any "hello world" app ever could have as it gave a real world experience for someone who might want to migrate to app engine.

Good talk, maybe spoke a little fast. Talking about other tools other than Vagrant would make the talk more varied.
