Stefan Koopmanschap (27.Feb.2009)
Talk at PHP UK Conference 2009 (English - US)
The symfony web application framework is a great framework to work with, as most symfony-experienced developers will tell you. It is very reliable and flexible, and allows for fast and structured development, yet those who haven't quite looked at the framework but only know the basics will often tell you symfony is very slow, extremely coupled, and overengineered. So who is telling the truth?
This talk will attempt to bust some myphps (pronounce: 'myths') around the symfony framework. Stefan will go into the most common prejudices against symfony, and show you that symfony is actually a bit different than what those people might think.

Delightfully amusing but still packing a clear message. This kind of simple talk structure really brought out Stefan's love of his subject while maintaining an honest and balanced view. Definately makes me want to look more into using symphony.

Good mix of fun and facts but then I'm already a big fan of Symfony :)

The pun definitely worked and the presentation flowed nicely. The real world examples were great, but I would have like to have seen more detail on them and I think there would have been time to do that. Likewise, with the Symfony platform... but maybe that's the point, I want to go and find out more now!

Stefan did a great job with his talk about Symfony. He did it with full confidence and lots of humor. Really enjoyed it and learned a bit when he showed clear code examples and inspired me to take a look at this framework.

Cool talk, a big improvement over your phpNW talk. More detail and more confidence.
Enjoyed hearing a good overview on symphony as I'm currently playing with Zend Framework.
