PHP North West 2017
29 Sep - 1 Oct 2017 at Manchester Conference Centre

Impressive that the 45min live demo worked out *that* good.The presentation contains a lot of stuff, maybe not that easy to follow along if one is not that deep into the topic. Worked out fine for me, even though we won't migrate back to Jenkins :P

Great talk, gave me some good insights what ML really is about and how to get started.

I will definitely agree with some of the other comments, compared to what Derick got us used to, this talk was a bit under in terms of flow, hence the note. Though I do get the exercise was pretty complex, as the choice he made was to deliver a technical, example based talk, therefore accepting this back and forth between slides and terminal.
As an advanced topic, I found it quite easy to follow in terms of content, which definitely means the talk is almost ready to be as good as Derick's other talks, live demos aside, and I'd love to thank him again for that!

Very well structured presentation.

Good presentation.

Good talk, very well structured. To improve the talk I would reduce the number of datastores that were compared, maybe dropping MySQL and CouchDB as they are too similar to the other solutions mentioned and make it clearer when to use which solution.

Fantastic. Loved the live installation. One of my favourites talks.

Great talk, good balance between information and humor. Really looking forward to give PHP 7.3 a try ;)

A refreshing talk, well delivered, with hand drawn illustrations that really changed compared to all the technical presentations seen during a day and half before. I liked the parallel between personal development and communities, given the communities are made of individuals.
Bonus note for the organisation team: having a speaker from another community (even though he's from the PHP community initially) is always good, gives a wee window on the outside world, especially when standing in rooms of geeky PHP fellow for a couple of days!

I took a lot away from this.
