Talk comments
This talk had me in stitches from the start. I've been interested in using amazon AWS for a while. I liked how Rowan also showed when he encountered problems and how he managed to get around them. Most talks i've been to show the solution not the process.
Great delivery the talk showed from the very basics of getting started to caching. Will definitely look into silex and symphony2 from which major parts of silex were developed from.
The talk was really informative make me regret not getting involved with the open source community earlier. The back and forth between the two speakers became a little tedious to the end but the actual content of the talk was top rate.
The talk was very fast paced due to time constraints. Did pique my interest in the latest developments in php unit. The talk did motivate me to start testing my projects more.
Great talk really informed me on how to go about debugging a server and find out whats really happening. I'm guilty of rebooting the server no longer.
Great start to the conference a good mix of humor and really thought provoking statements.
For me this felt like a talk that could have been given in 50% of the time alotted. The content was good, but some of it was repetitive and could have been a lot tighter.
Nicely paced and presented. Good content. It's a fine balance to present to those that do code reviews and would like more in depth information/examples and people new to them and need a good introduction. I think this talk was on the latter line but, for that type of talk, provided a good amount of useful information. I'd recommend this talk to people new to code reviews or people who have started doing them and need some more ideas about making them effective.
Although I could have personally done with a little more technical information, this is actually one of the few talks that did exactly what it said it would in the abstract, so I don't think that is a fair criticism.
A good overview of what approach to use in different situations that will help inform what I should use next time I'm starting a new project.
Cool idea for the slides being all on the terminal. And as usual, good delivery etc etc. Bit of a shame that the last bits were rushed through to finish on time - but still a great talk.
