The Power of Refactoring slides
Here's my slides for today's presentation at the International PHP Conference on refactoring.
The presentation went well, though I talked a bit fast. I did get the message across. I had hardly any questions (but that may also be due to the early time and the OctoberFest party yesterday
). I will be changing it a bit again for PHP NorthWest, but most of it will stay relatively the same.

Hodicska Gergely: Thank you for sharing your slides. Could you be so nice to allow downloading on SlideShare which would useful for offline browsing? TIA

Albert, Pablo: Sincerelly,
You can't say there wasn't questions because of the Oktoberfest or that because it was to early. The presentation was simply desapponting.
We moved from Spain and I can say it wasn't worth it. A complete waste of time and money.
Regarding the presentation, a _bit_ fast was like 15 minutes... ?? No techniques, patterns, code comparison with real examples were explained. It would have been interesting to show HOW TO refactor a specific code and see the differences first and after refactoring. Efficiency, scalability.... and big etc...
Although the comment may sound rude, I hope it's constructive enough to improve the presentation.
We expected a lot more from the presentation.
left: Hi Albert,
Well, I sincerely hope you didn't come all the way from Spain just for my presentation?
It was 25 minutes which definitely is short. I was not too happy with that either.
It is not good though that you're disappointed. The presentation was a starter level presentation, so only an introduction into refactoring. After an earlier experience I had I decided to for now stop doing actual code examples. Based on my experience at IPC though, I already decided that I would alter my presentation for phpNW to indeed do actual coding examples again.
Thanks for your comment, though it is indeed a bit harsh. I will work on refactoring my presentation quite a bit.

Albert & Pablo: No Stefan,
we didn't come only for your presentation, but two of us assisted the whole thursday.
Your presentation was not by far the worst one (that was achieved in the "Googol Records with Mysql"), although we were expecting something more
We know that uou have background enough to do quite an excellent job next time, we encourage you to do so.
As inspirtaion, the CouchDb, SQLite3 and Mysql performance were the best of all presentations and made the trip worth it.
Good luck.
