True North PHP 2013
7 - 9 Nov 2013 at Microsoft HQ

Heard exactly what the title led me to expect - good intro.

Good guidelines to start looking for ways to improve the performance of a website.

Good overview of how continuous integration tasks can be applied to small projects. Thanks for the very resourceful presentation.

Thank you for the entertaining presentation on the history of PHP and how colaboration keeps it alive and moving forward.

Gave good overview of what azure can do and what you can ( and cannot ) do with it

Great talk about HHVM, why and how it should be used.

Great intro to HHVM, the reasons for its development, and the cool features it supports on top of those offered by PHP.

excellent generalized talk about security, incl. practical advice and a decent overview of many attack vectors. One hour was not enough time - I got the impression that Chris could deliver an entire semester-long course on security. Clear delivery, confident presentation.

Comprehensive and very interesting survey of ways to optimize websites!

It would be great to dig deeper into a couple of the web design issues at future meetups.
