Great talk on the subject.

Interacting with the audience, perfect knowledge of the material,...

Very practical, the way I like it.

Tnx Mike!

Great idea to use real-world code from GitHub. Engaging speaker. Thanks for covering the PHP 5.3 additions to SPL. Suggestion: if possible, given time constraints, give a bit more "dwell time" on the code examples. We should look at them on our own time, yes, but it may help people get a better handle on a concept/usage while in the room. Excellent answers to questions raised by attendees.

Belgium is tiny, but there are 3 languages spoken there: Dutch, French and German. So almost all web applications we build, are multi-lingual (3 above + English). So character sets are important.

I loved the way Raymond brought the presentation (easy going, humor,...) and interacted with the people. Good content, learnt a couple of new tricks.

Would have liked to see IMPORT/EXPORT in there, but got the information afterwards. -- Tnx!

Matthew knows what he talks about and is able to bring it in a way it all looks so simple.

I loved how he zoomed in into one topic (EventManager) so he could drill into it instead of staying very high level.

I love to hear David speak. The content provided was excellent and was brought in a great way.

Minus was the demo that didn't work straight away, but we got the idea.

Content wise it was interesting, but the speaker completely lost my attention.

Try to work on the way you present, so you can grab and keep my attention.

Zend Studio 9 looks cool though ;)

Good overview of Zend Framework 2. Looking forward to playing around with it.

Great job - clear concise explanations of how it works, supported by code and references. And totally agree on the increasing irrelevance of Blackberry as a dev platform.

Very engaging speaker. Good overview of the topic, beginning with a review of what basic RESTful APIs actually look like, and going through an intro to Hypermedia. Successfully corrected slides on the fly, without eating time from the presentation.
