great talk, was very informative

great talk, and very informative.

wel covered

Sammy's talk on the importance of sufficiently random input to application security was insightful and entertaining. Also, it didn't hurt to have been on the receiving end of a give-a-way of one of the rare PHP Elephants by PHP Roundtable!

Jesse's talk on IBMi open source was excellent. It plainly and practically demonstrated installing and managing many popular open source packages on IBMi (e.g. Git Client, Node.js) using tools familiar to anyone having dealt with the Redhat/CentOS Linux distributions (e.g. YUM) and also provided an early look at container isolation on IBMi using chroot. I'd be interested in obtaining the slides when they're posted.

Andrew's session was a realistic, practical and useful look at securely configuring Apache Web server, particularly as it relates to the LA[M]P stack. Thanks! Hope the slides get posted soon.

Rod did a great job demonstrating the install process for MariaDB on IBMi. To add to the excitement, the author himself, Monty Widenius, was in the session providing comments and constructive criticism throughout. Being a participate in this session was a rare and enjoyable experience.

This was a great talk about using Doctrine for its database abstraction layer with DB2 on IBMi. The mention and demonstration of some of its other benefits (e.g. database schema versioning, management and deployment using "migrations") would have helped convey other powerful benefits of Doctrine, and would have helped clarify the "payoff" for the time that would be invested in adopting it.

Thanks for the great talk on DB2Sock. I'm interested in possibly contributing to the proposed PHP OOP wrapper/API for DB2Sock, also in the slides from the presentation, but the link appears to be broken.

Thanks for breaking down the middleware pattern and the demonstration using Zend Expressive.
