I was fairly disapointed. It was basically "Hey, I stumbled across php://memory, its kind of cool but I don't know what its good for but hey, it might be useful"

When asked for a real world example of what it was good for, he didn't know. Very shoddily thrown together presentation. Very few slides. Lots of silence as he stared at his screen.

Good stuff. You may want to consider enforcing some sort of "hold questions to the end" policy. Many of the questions people asked early into the presentation seemed to be answered later on.

Nonetheless, great talk. I really enjoyed it.

Good talk! Along with the thoroughly entertaining pics ranging from funny-fails to "uncomfortable", the talk was a good motivational talk about how failing is a good thing, and failing fast is even better. Well-presented, well-spoken. I look forward to hearing more from Keith Casey in the future!

Very monotone delivery, made it difficult to get into the speech. Very knowledgeable though.

Wasn't expecting that many similarities to be honest, but Mike did a great job of showing how many there were. The side by side stuff was great, and the honesty in what Obj-C does well and what it doesn't was really useful. Also impressed at the speed of getting a fully functioning demo up & running at the end from scratch - nice!

Really enjoyed this - fast-paced and very enthusiastic presentation. Lots of JS things *clicked* for me as a result of this talk - self-calling objects, scope stuff and the like. Good stuff.

Lots of info here - would have perhaps preferred a few more examples of the non-iterator SPL topics too, but plenty to take away, and well presented.
