WebDAV has been around for quite some time, and is at this point integrated in
every popular operating system. Since it's an extension to HTTP, this makes it
perfect to implement using PHP. Allowing the user to mount your application, drag and drop and use native
desktop applications beats a textarea and html file upload for things like
content and asset management. WebDAV will allow you to do just this without
having to resort to writing desktop clients.
This talk will use the SabreDAV library as it abstracts away many of the
client incompatibities and complexities.

Interesting overview of the webDAV technology. I haven't yet used the technology so it was completely new for me, but it did give me some inspiration of situations in which this could definitely be applied. Evert is also a very good natural speaker, making it pleasant to listen to him.
And of course, Evert added some live entertainment with his phone beeping at every Twitter mention ;)
Enjoyed this talk that covered the basics of webDAV. The small examples on the actual usage were ok but there was some time left for even some more (advanced) examples like using webdav as a meta-filesystem like procFS (very interessting possibilities).
WebDAV is yet another cool component to place onto my todo-list :)
Good informative talk.
I was completely new to the topic and this gave me some clear information so I know what can be done with it.
Nice simple examples that at times even went to important details.
I'm not expecting to use it soon, but knowing what is possible is very important.

Nice talk, ofcourse the information about such an extensive topic is hard to put into an hour, but this was a nice overview of WebDAV and SabreDAV.
