Windows Azure looks nice - from the brief looks we had of it - but I wasn't sure what this presentation was trying to achieve.
There was a blur between development + lifecycle best practices and demonstrating Azure. As others have said, if the live demo had any chance of failing or going wrong - don't do it! It was cringe-worthy watching them trying to recover and get back on track.
Unfortunately the number of people getting up and leaving before the end summed up this keynote.
The information on Task Queues was in-depth, however I think some more information about what App Engine offers as a whole and why you would choose it over other Cloud solutions would've been helpful.
Presentation style was fantastic. A really good session with lots of concepts and ideas that make perfect sense.
Great presentation covering all the main topics of why and how you should be using Twig.
The discussions were good but not sure if it covered the intended topic of the future of PHP in Enterprise Environments, especially when PHP was referred to as the "Visual Basic of the web"... ;)
Having used manual VMs in the past, this talk provided some really useful information on automating the process and ensuring consistent environments. It was a speedy presentation, but there was a lot of good information to pack in to a short time.
A nice starter tutorial that covered what Symfony is and how best to work with it. As another who has commented has said, I would have liked to have gone into more detail about the features and capabilities of Symfony.
