I didn't know pcre had that many features.

Nice overview of php in its current and future state.

Anna is a competent and confident presenter, who delivered he material very well.

Unfortunately he content missed the mark for me - this seemed to be much more a talk about how to conduct benchmarking than it was one on how to improve performance with Doctrine and there was nothing particularly 'advanced' about the techniques being suggested.

It also seemed odd at a Symfony conference that all the code/examples were in 'raw' Doctrine, rather than 'the Symfony way'.

Excellent presentation from the man behind the machine - next time please give him a (much) bigger room and twice as long so that we can get right into the details and the demos.

Wow - what a roller-coaster of a session.

Kévin clearly knows his material and wanted to get as much of that knowledge across to us all. So much information delivered so fast - I'm glad I have English as my first language as I would have struggled to keep up otherwise. For the future I would suggest cutting back on the amount of information you try to fit in the session!

A truly advanced-level talk by a clearly very knowledgeable presenter.

I would suggest that there was too much content, and that it could be improved by providing fewer examples, but going into each of them in more detail.

I enjoyed your talk that wasn't a talk. I especially liked what you said about over engineering, I find myself doing that often and in the end to release I have to take shortcuts that I'm not always proud of. A bit more structure was needed, but your experience and discussion was valuable insight.

Thanks for the talk, it was a clear and easy way to help me understand how to get started mutating tests. Really sorry for the poor attendance I encourage you to present it again.

Great talk! As you said, big no no for production, but I really enjoyed both your talk and the idea itself. I would probably try to learn how to create some c extensions, but I will defo try PHX for prototyping.
