Nice talk Beth. I liked the way you pull the audience into participation, it worked well. Perhaps add a brief list of each tool that fits the categories you were discussing. (It was pretty high level with little drill-in.) Other than that it was great!

Great talk, and nice coverage of the topic. Another tool added to my arsenal

Great tutorial day session by two very knowledgeable people on the subjects. I feel much less hesitant to use these new technologies than before. Thanks.

Enjoyed the talk a lot. Jake really knows his stuff and I think this was an awesome introduction into the SPL's iterators.

@JohnCongdon
I talked a bit about why iterators (or the spl in general) should be used (to separate business logic with your iterator logic). Unfortunally, my talk might have been a little bit more for the people who already used the SPL, and I totally get why iterators looks confusing and arrays seem to look like a safe haven in that case. Next time: come up to the speaker and ask the question, we would love to help you try to understand the usage if it wasn't clear enough during the talks (as said during the talks: you can always email / twitter / irc us!).

Always enjoying Ian's talks. Again he managed to take complex architecturial concepts and breaks them down into easy to understand pieces.

Even though there was practically nothing RESTful about the talk, the concepts that were discussed were done properly. I would strongly advice though to change the name of the title in order to avoid disappointments.

Brian is another one of those extremely knowledgeable people who you shouldn't miss speaking, no matter what the topic may be. This talk had just the right amount of detail.

I agree with most of the previous comments - this was a terrific dive into the subject and both these guys are great presenters.

Not to pile on, but I noticed the 'talking to the screen' factor too. I was somewhat familiar with iterators, but this was a good refresher that filled in some gaps in my knowledge. Jake is obviously knowledgeable and delivers a presentation very well.

I was happy to meet Luke at this conference. He was passionate about the subject matter, but admitted when he wasn't clear on something, or when the community as a whole couldn't agree on implementation.

Would love more examples, especially around the versioning part of the discussion. I asked the question, and Luke did a great job of verbally explaining how they handle versioning. But there is nothing like seeing real examples.
