Simple but good. Just speak a little louder.
Working with Zend_Form
Rob Allen (Jun 11, 2010 at 11:45)
Talk at Dutch PHP Conference 2010 (English - UK)
Zend_Form is a powerful component than can simplify form handling within your web application. Find out in this session how to make Zend_Form render and validate your form elements and ease the pain of forms on web pages.
We will look at configuration, data filters & validation and error handling. One particularly tricky area is the use of the decorator pattern to control the generated HTML when rendering the form. This session will therefore also take a detailed look at this especially powerful functionality and show how to ensure that your forms are rendered as desired.

Rob delivers technical content well, especially when you can see he enjoys the topic. Nice structure to the talk too. I went knowing nothing about Zend_Form but now feel I know the conceptual overview and can dive in. Possibly could have done with some visuals to illustrate the structure.

Having not had any experience of Zend_Form this talwas a great introduction and has meant that I have come away thinking of how and were I can take advantage of what it offers. Really good introduction.

Good presentation, clear and easy to follow as an introduction. Maybe a bit too basic, 45 minutes with the manual / quickguide gives about the same knowledge.

There could have been a bit more covered, but basically it did what it said on the tin.

very good presentation for a first time user of Zend Framework.
Would like to see more complete examples, from making the form to processing the form.

Good presentation, would like to have more advanced content at a conference but Rob was clear on the content of this talk before he commenced and delivered eloquently.

Hoped to get some real insight in Zend_Form, having never used it. Too bad it was too basic and too slow for my taste. Didn't give much more info than the manual and a decent tutorial do. Rob is a good speaker and easy to listen to.
