Don't reboot, debug!
Very entertaining, some new tools, and a good reminder of things I'd forgotten!
(06.Oct.2012)
Developer Experience, API Design and craft skills
Best keynote I think I've ever seen! Great points, very entertaining.
(06.Oct.2012)
React: Event-Driven PHP
Pretty good, very funny, but could have done with more 'real world' examples and applications.
(06.Oct.2012)
Symfony components in the wild
Yes Jakub was nervous, but he delivered well and there was good, useful content.
(06.Oct.2012)
Varnish In Action
About as close to a perfect session as you can get. Massively useful, great speaker, just a shame it was rather warm in the room!
(06.Oct.2012)
From the ground up – Hands-on coding, deploying, and scaling with AWS
If Carlsberg did PHPNW sessions.... Rowan would still kick their ass !
(07.Oct.2012)
Lithium – The framework that contains the best of all worlds
Lots of detail and code examples, but had to miss out a chunk due to time. Did convince me to check out Lithium though.
(07.Oct.2012)
PhpDocumentor : your source matters
Not the most exciting of talks, but informative, I learnt some new things, so worth going to.
(07.Oct.2012)
Community works for business too!
Really great food for thought. Made some brilliant points, a great way to wrap up the conference.
(05.Oct.2013)
Easy HTTP Clients with Guzzle
Good content, but speaker seemed a little unsure/nervous.
(06.Oct.2013)
Making PHP go fast
Really interesting talk, some good (if not contentious) ideas, will be implementing some on my own projects.
(06.Oct.2013)
Unbreakable Domain Models
Great talk, great to think about some alternative to the way we've always done things, even if a little heavy for my fuzzy Sunday head!
(06.Oct.2013)
How Silex and Cilex became the glue for a media transcoding application
Good talk, if a little short. Maybe a little bit of technical content wouldn't have hurt. Having said that, I wouldn't have considered Cilex before, but I will in future!
(06.Oct.2013)
Your (coding) standards matter
Funny, loads of content, and I will be looking at this with my devs next week, so a result I'd say!
(19.Feb.2015)
Everything That I Really Needed to Know, I Learned in Rabbinical School
Truly inspirational keynote, great points.
(19.Feb.2015)
What's new in PHP
Awesome talk, some really great features, time to start a crusade against 5.3!
(19.Feb.2015)
Composer Best Practices
Some really important messages to take away from this, certainly about lock files! Did 'meander' a little, but we'll worth checking out.
(19.Feb.2015)
Accessibility done right
Really interesting, has inspired me to go back and take another look at sites I've built. Was a little short, but good nevertheless.
(19.Feb.2015)
Continuously delivering PHP projects
Really interesting to see how those guys do CI/CD. Some bits I already knew, but few new wrinkles that are interesting to know.
(20.Feb.2015)
Integrating Communities
Hands down the most passionate, inspiring keynote I've seen in a long time!
(20.Feb.2015)
The NoSQL Store everyone ignores: PostgreSQL
Really useful talk, would have been useful to get some idea of performance of the data types, but not a big deal!
(20.Feb.2015)
Hexagonal Architecture in DDD
Great talk, good level of detail, covered a number of ideas quite new to me!
(20.Feb.2015)
Debugging: past, present and future
Very entertaining and informative, interesting to see where debugging is going!
(20.Feb.2015)
Why Your Test Suite Sucks
Made some really good points - plenty of food for thought there.
(21.Feb.2015)
PHP's biggest bottleneck - MySQL
Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback - really appreciate it, all valid comments, and I will take them into account when I am thinking about talks in the future! With this talk I was trying to make it useful and accessible for as many people as possible - certainly there is another level to look at here for more advanced optimisations / performance improvements, and hopefully that's another talk that I can submit for next year!
(03.Oct.2015)
Opening Keynote: Stealing People Lessons from Artificial Intelligence
Awesome talk, as someone on the 'management' side of the fence there was a huge amount for me to take on board.
(03.Oct.2015)
Docker at the Home Office
Really interesting points on using docker, something I really need to look into!
(03.Oct.2015)
Are you a good Code Scout
Some stretched metaphors, but some really good points on what we should be doing to leave code better then we found it! Great first talk!
(03.Oct.2015)
Better Late Than Never: Scalar Type Hints in PHP 7
A bit 'ranty' to start, but really good information, and great features to be using in PHP. Very entertaining talk.
(03.Oct.2015)
Dotting your i's and crossing your t's - How to Make Good Code Great
Really useful and entertaining talk. Some great points that should apply everywhere.
(04.Oct.2015)
Secure your web application with two-factor authentication
Great talk, I don't use 2FA as much as I should right now, but will be rolling it out thanks to Rob's talk!
(04.Oct.2015)
Ways To Measure Your ORM's Cost
Really useful information - shame that we (the audience) dragged the first part out so the rest was a little rushed, but some really strong points on why/how to measure ORM performance.
(17.Dec.2015)
Building an API with Slim 3
Completely sold - not used Slim much in the past, but will be using it for all my APIs in future!
(18.Feb.2016)
The Code Manifesto
A really important topic, the tech industry has been broken far too long. Well presented, and I hope something everyone will take to heart.
(18.Feb.2016)
What To Expect From PHP7
We know we should be using PHP7, but it can be difficult to quantify the reasons - Lorna's talk was great at giving solid reasons for migrating, and explaining how some of the new features work.
(18.Feb.2016)
Every Millisecond Counts: Performance & UX
A really great talk, lots of valuable information and very well presented. Alot of practical examples helped me visualise how I could be including these things into projects I am working on today!
(18.Feb.2016)
Large-scale websites performance optimisation tricks
Struggled to hear the speaker in the second room - perhaps down to capacity issues. Was a very dry talk (understandably), and while there was plenty of information it really didn't grab my attention in the way I'd hope.
(19.Feb.2016)
Magento Done Right
Plenty of nice little 'take-aways' and tools to check out - would have been nice if it was a little longer, but still makes me want to start using Magento 2 for all our production sites now!!
(19.Feb.2016)
HHVM and MongoDB — the perfect combination
Not two techs I use often, but really interesting to see how they are going about building the libraries and everything that goes on 'under the hood' that you wouldn't get to see often.
(19.Feb.2016)
Behind the Scenes of Maintaining an Open Source Project
Maintainers are people too, and Jordi's talk really got into the detail of what it means the be a project maintainer, what they have to put up with, and thus what we can do as project 'users' to make the whole Open Source community better. Very entertaining talk well delivered.
(19.Feb.2016)
Imposter Syndrome and Individual Competence
An awesome talk, well delivered, funny and probing some really important issues that impact us all.
A great way to start the second day!
(19.Feb.2016)
Security Theatre
My talk of the conference - really informative, incredibly funny, addressing some really key points that we should all be considering - really could not fault this at all!
(19.Feb.2016)
Real-Time Data Pipelines
Granted AOL are working on a whole other level from the stuff I am dealing with, but some really great ideas about how to handle the problem of huge volumes of real time data in an effective way, with some things I am certainly going to be checking out!
(19.Feb.2016)
Introducing Zend Framework 3
Not really had a chance to look at ZF 3 yet, so really interesting to see how they are going about changing the fundamental architecture.
Certainly alot of things I want to be checking out, and looking forward to getting to grips with some of the ZF3 components,
(19.Feb.2016)
Dip Your Toes in the Sea of Security
Really good talk, well paced and addressed some important issues. Yes there was some overlap with Thomas' talk, but I think it's good that two different speakers are saying similar things, as it really re-enforces what we should (and often are not) doing as developers.
(19.Feb.2016)
Automation Automation Automation
Part of me was glad that some of the ideas Michael was presenting we are already doing where I am, but still plenty of things we are not doing, and things we should be looking at certainly.
The 'money shot' was of course the demo, which I think amazed the entire room.
Great content, well presented, can't say much more than that!
(08.Sep.2016)
Queues with RabbitMQ
A really interesting talk, haven't used RabbitMQ before, but have a project to write tomorrow that I will be using it for now! The routing chart could be tidied up - maybe showing the workeright putting the message back in the exchange to make it clear it's multi-step?
(16.Feb.2017)
State of the PHP Community
Too often we see and hear the negative side of the community. Eli gave a much needed message of hope in a very well delivered keynote.
(16.Feb.2017)
How the real-time communication between things can simplify our everyday life
Really interesting to hear about some of the possibilities with IoT. Unfortunate that the display kept failing, but the speaker coped well. Delivery could do with more practice, possibly partly down to the language barrier? Some good thoughts to take away however.
(16.Feb.2017)
Serving 30,000,000 Requests an Hour in the Cloud
Totally not what I was expecting! Some really good demos - always brave to do live demos, but they were effective and worked well! Some great insights and things to take back to my apps.
(16.Feb.2017)
Unit Testing by Example
Well delivered talk. I'd like to think I'm fairly good at writing tests, but still was plenty I could take away from this talk.
(16.Feb.2017)
Don’t Lose Sleep - Secure Your REST
A strong talk, a lot of really useful information that I need to look into. Quite a lot of information being thrown around if you've had no prior experience, but a well delivered talk.
(16.Feb.2017)
Progressive Web Apps in the wild
A very well delivered talk - good humour in appropriate places, and lots of information but still accessible.
(16.Feb.2017)
Using Open Source for Fun and Profit
As always an excellent talk! Thoroughly entertaining, really important messages throughout, can't fault it in any way!
(17.Feb.2017)
I Think I Know What You’re Talking About, But I’m Not Sure
A very entertaining talk, well presented. Perhaps the balance of the talk could shift slightly to have a little more time on the 'moral of the story', maybe look at how we can better share this knowledge around, but a minor point on a really strong talk.
(17.Feb.2017)
Taking care of backups with Laravel
A solid talk, a good introduction into a package that I think I'll be using very soon!
(17.Feb.2017)
Code review beyond code style
This is a strong, well delivered talk. Pleased that we already do a lot of these things, but still some things to work on! The only thing that might improve this would be some examples of real life PRs and reviews that do or don't do these things.
(24.May.2017)
Got Breached? PCI Compliance and Payment Security
Some really good advise and insight into PCI DSS compliance. Well delivered for what is a very dry subject. Perhaps could go into more detail with the upcoming things (SAQ A-EP etc), as some of the given advice I believe will not be valid in the near future.
(25.May.2017)
Composer at Scale, Release and Dependency Management
Really interesting and insightful talk. We're hitting a similar problem currently (although at a much smaller size!), so certainly things I can take back and think about.
(25.May.2017)
Building for Utopia: A Tragedy in One Act
A very interesting talk. Really good introduction using an IRL scenario, and then really provided some interesting thoughts and takeaways that we will look at in our own organisation.
(25.May.2017)
Pieces of Auth
Quite a dry topic, but well presented - certainly valuable pointers and thoughts to take on board.
(25.May.2017)
Design for Non-Designers
Really good talk - awesome to have some of the things I thought I knew validated, and discovered new tools and ideas. Only small comment - I found that the delivery sometimes dropped in volume towards the ends of sections, and I lost some of what was being said - perhaps more my hearing than anything else!
(25.May.2017)
How PHP got its Semicolons
What can I say. After 8 conferences, over 100 talks, this was the most touching, genuine and generally brilliant talk I've been fortunate enough to see.
(26.May.2017)
The Debug Dance –An Intro to Step Debugging
As always a well delivered talk from Sammy! Some of the detail was hard to see, maybe more a problem with the room size. Lots of good information for anyone new to step debugging.
(09.Jun.2017)
The New Revolution
A great way to kick off the conference. Interesting to see where we've come from, and the ways we can shape the future.
(09.Jun.2017)
Introduction to functional programming with Phunkie
Not your usual introduction to functional programming! Not something I have much experience in, but something I'm certainly going to look into more.
(09.Jun.2017)
Long running PHP processes
Well presented, lots of info. Perhaps not taught me anything new, but good to validate what we are already doing.
(09.Jun.2017)
From Hamfist to Hamcrest: more expressive tests in PHP
A good talk - I've been a PHPUnit user forever, but certainly going to check out Hamcrest now. One point - some of the slide colours were not readable, but content wise very good!
(09.Jun.2017)
Driving Design through Examples
I've been to a number of talks on BDD, DDD, TDD, etc before, and it's never really 'clicked' for me - until today. Totally got where Ciaran was coming from, a huge number of concepts have suddenly fallen into place!
(09.Jun.2017)
Get GOing with a new language
A good introduction to go - covered enough of the basics and some potential use cases for using go that I certainly will look into it
(10.Jun.2017)
Status Change: Now Using Event Sourcing
A good intro to event sourcing. Would have liked a little more looking into the code, but things 'clicked' more than they have in other talks I've seen.
(10.Jun.2017)
Connecting people - Identity in your platform
A brilliant talk! Really interesting figures and good examples of what we should be doing.
(10.Jun.2017)
Ethical Engineering
A talk designed to make you think, and it really did that. A fantastic way to round off the conference.
(01.Jul.2017)
Keynote: Beyond Code
Really good message, but I would question the delivery - seemed a little 'stream of consciousness -like', and I felt it could have guided the audience better towards specific takeaways.
(01.Jul.2017)
Climbing the Abstract Syntax Tree
Well delivered and interesting talk on a subject that perhaps doesn't have a huge amount of day-to-day application. Looking forward to monkey-patching production sometime soon!! :p
(01.Jul.2017)
ERD, Flowcharts, and Other Documentation
As someone who usually avoids diagrams and pre-project documention like the plague, this talk gave me a number of new ideas for doing a better job in this area.
(01.Jul.2017)
Graphs are Everywhere
Thoroughly enjoyable talk. Useful (and relevant day to day) information very well presented!
(01.Jul.2017)
Creating a realtime dashboard with PHP and websockets
An interesting talk. Never used pusher or vue before, so useful information there. Intro felt a bit 'advert-y', but didn't detract too much from what was otherwise a great talk!
(02.Jul.2017)
Learning Machine Learning
Really well delivered talk - introduced some concepts that were new to me, and a great close!
(23.Sep.2017)
Engineering a Successful Career Through Failure!
An exceptional talk. Brave choice in not using slides, but totally the right decision! Inspiring, informative and interesting.
(23.Sep.2017)
Building Unique Templates with Custom Post Types in WordPress
A solid talk with some useful information, very well presented. Slide design could use some tweaks - as a speaker you were aware that some slides were difficult to read, so that should be addressed - perhaps show the overview of the whole code, and then break it down to a few lines at a time to explain it?
On the whole however a very good talk.
(24.Sep.2017)
Thank You PHP Community, I Owe You so Much
Wow. A very deep talk, totally not what I was expecting, and yet a truly inspirational talk, and the perfect way to wrap up the conference.
(24.Sep.2017)
Dev Divas: History's Heroines of Computing
It's hard to know what to say about this talk. Brilliantly presented and an important message that we need to remember the pioneering women in the early days of tech, even if others have forgotten. Really not a bad thing to say about this talk, and Vesna is an exceptional speaker.
(24.Sep.2017)
PHP Prepared Statements and MySQL Table Design
A very good talk that I found useful and instructive. It's a shame that we ran out of time so some slides needed to be skipped , but the content that we did see was very interesting and provided a new way to look at insert performance. Well worth checking this talk out - thanks Ed!
(15.Feb.2018)
Going Backstage on Community Trends: Bug or Feature?
Important message and a great reminder of how awesome the PHP community is. Felt slightly disjointed in places, but still a great talk that provides food for thought for everyone who was there!
(15.Feb.2018)
What You'll Miss on AWS & How To Find It
A well delivered talk with a good overview of various AWS feature. While I appreciate this talk was aimed at getting up and running with AWS with your existing codebase without making changes (and it was caveat-ed as such), more detail on what *would* be the better solution if you have the time would be an improvement - e.g. sessions, rather than making users stick, move session handlers to a DB - or even better, something like Redis.
(15.Feb.2018)
Command and (e)mission Control
If Barney hadn't said, there is no way you'd know this was their first talk! Confidently delivered, technically detailed yet accessible - can't fault it at all!
(15.Feb.2018)
Zero to Jenkins: Automatic builds + deploys
Wow. Never get bored of Michael's live demos! A brilliant talk, very informative.
(15.Feb.2018)
Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Playing 'Developer'
I didn't know how Gary could top their keynote from last year.... and yet it happened! Really great message well delivered.
(16.Feb.2018)
Inversion of Control (IoC) Containers Beyond Constructor Injection
A detailed talk, we'll delivered! Perhaps ran a touch short, but not really anything else you'd want to add! Good that it looked at different specific implementations.
(16.Feb.2018)
Performance optimisation: how do I go about it?
A very good talk that gave a good insight into profiling and performance optimisation. Made some very interesting points. Some of the slide design could have perhaps been improved, but this is a minor observation on an otherwise excellent talk!
(16.Sep.2018)
The Science of Learning
Solid way to kick off the conference! The points made were important, and generally well delivered, although I struggled to get into it at the beginning (although they may largely be down to the technical difficulties). All in all a very good keynote!
(16.Sep.2018)
Lost in the Lobby
Wow. Just wow. Huge impact, massively emotional, a critical message that needs to be shared. Thanks so much Samantha for opening up to us all!
(16.Sep.2018)
Double Loop: TDD & BDD Done Right
Very well delivered talk full of useful information. TDD and BDD are things that can always be done better (I certainly know I could do better), and this talk certainly aims to improve that!
(16.Sep.2018)
Machine Learning on AWS (for Noobs) with PHP
Lots of information in a 30 minute package! Would certainly be interested in seeing a 'full sized' version!
(16.Sep.2018)
Code is Not Neutral: Ethics for Developers
A really important message and a great keynote. Has ready helped me to start thinking about this more critically, so for this audience member at least, it's achieved its purpose! Thanks Clarissa!
(16.Sep.2018)
Machine Learning and Trend Analysis in PHP
Really useful talk for me personally, looking at ML at a level I've not done before. Took some key points away that I now need to go and spend more time investigating - thanks Michael!
(07.Oct.2018)
Get GOing with a new language
Well delivered talk. Perfectly accessible if you've never touched Go, but still useful if you've previously dabbled with it. Thanks Kat!
(07.Oct.2018)
Composer Best Practices 2018
Even as a daily composer user, there were plenty of examples of things I wasn't aware of in this we'll delivered talk. Thanks Nils!
(07.Oct.2018)
Don't Wait, Generate!
A solid talk full of useful information. The demos were a bit 'hesitant' with the requirement to switch containers and a couple of other issues, which is the only thing stopping me from giving this 5 stars. Other than that it was a great talk.
(07.Oct.2018)
Optimizing PHP-FPM for Production
I wasn't sure how much I'd get from this talk, but I was wrong! Full of useful ideas and things I need to check out - a few things I knew already, but plenty I didn't!
(07.Oct.2018)
Developing for privacy and user protection
Talk of the conference for me. Very well delivered, discussing an important subject in a way that kept the audience engaged throughout. Thanks Heather!
(22.Feb.2019)
Controlling the Variables
A great start to the conference - really effective slide design and a positive message to start with, while being sufficiently different from other keynotes. Thanks Thijs!
(22.Feb.2019)
Storing Non-Scalar Data
Really interesting overview to storing different data types. Immediately started thinking what we could (should) be doing different, so it did its job!
(22.Feb.2019)
Everything is Awesome - The LEGOⓇ Approach to Being an Awesome Co-worker
I struggled with how to rate this talk. I actually found the 'introduction' to be the more important part, and I have huge respect to the speaker for be willing to call out some of the toxic behaviour in the industry.
On the other hand, I feel 'missold' in that the abstract suggests Lego would be a integral part of the talk, which actually I think would make the talk much more unique.
(22.Feb.2019)
From Good to SOLID - Becoming a Better PHP Developer
A strong talk. SOLID is important, and this was a good delivery with real life examples. I do wonder if the talk would have been better as a main track talk than a keynote, however that's down the scheduling, and it didn't change the fact this is a very good talk! Thanks Katerina!
(22.Feb.2019)
Microservices Gone Wrong
A very strong talk, Anthony is always very knowledgeable, and this was no exception! Certainly took away some ideas that I need to investigate more, thanks!
(22.Feb.2019)
Does Your Code Measure Up?
A valuable and useful talk that all develops should see. Clean code is important, and can be achieved much more simply than perhaps is often thought!
A good overview of some the key tools but also justifications that a developer can take back to their managers to form a business case.
(23.Feb.2019)
I deploy on Fridays (and maybe you should too)
Very good talk, an important message about not needing to be scared of deployments, and good strategy for mitigating risk.
