Great intro into some of the new features in PHP 7 and definitely whet everyones appetite to upgrade.

Lorna is a confident and informative speaker, as always, and the talk was a definitely a way of getting everyone excited about the new hotness in PHP7 and why we should be upgrading.

The code examples were short but perfect for getting across the points Lorna was making.

This talk left me wanting to just upgrade all the things!

This was interesting. A lot of talk about things I don't really know anything about; MongoDB, HHVM, PHP extensions.
I'm not sure you really made it clear why you decided to make the HHVM extension totally separate from the PHP ones.

Really interesting to see what you used to help you get through these issues. I think unless you have been there, you cant really understand how it feels. I am glad you are bringing attention to it!

Thanks Mike!

If the first draft I've seen was great - I'm sure this one was brilliant! Can't want for iteration #3!

People who left 4* reviews, is there anything I could do to make this a 5* talk?

Really interesting and brave to talk about your personal experiences in this area. I agree that you cant always be the one asking, you need to be prepared to be asked too. You have inspired me to buy Amanda's book too!

Also, he handled the heckling very well!

Thanks Skoop
