Fantastic start to the day and the conference as a whole.

Good talk, and good tips on how to mitigate differences between database engines when supporting more than one.

The talk had a lot of good “under the hood” information. It seemed to me though that the only place that abstractions leak is when you are trying to write database codes for many different types of databases and that didn’t seem too relevant.

Good testing explanations.

Excellent overview and overview of other resources too.

Good talk Matt! Very technical talk diving into the many nuances of regular expressions. Good way to describe what each character does. Even though I've used regular expressions, I still learned a few new things.

Immensely helpful for a regex newbie. I have very little experience with using regex and have wanted to learn more, so this gave me a lot of tools and also an idea of where to go to learn more.

This was an excellent choice for a talk for the PHP Community's premier event. Very Zen.

Excellent presentation engaging enough that the audience asked good questions, which got answered adroitly because Keith knows his stuff.
