I recently attended PHP UK 2011, this was the second PHP UK conference I’ve attended.

Key point from last year: this year was much better organised! Everything ran on time, last year we started late and talks over ran. Congrats to the PHP UK team for much improved organisation.

Several talks have been posted on vimeo.

The talks I attended this year:

• Zero MQ is the answer – Ian Barber
• Agility & Quality – Sebastian Bergmann
• Continuous Improvement in PHP Projects – Thorsten Rinne
• Beyond Frameworks – Stuart Herbert
• 99 problems, but the search ain’t one – Andrei Zmievski
