Bastian Feder (10.Oct.2009)
Talk at PHP North West 2009 (English - UK)
The most hated thing a developer can imageine is writing documentation but on the other hand nothing can compare with a well documented source code if you want to change or extend your own or legacy code. PhpDocumentor is one of many tools enabling you to parse the inline documentation and generate well structured and referenced documents. This talk will show you how to get the most out of phpDocumentor and shall enable you to write fantastic documentation.

Very good introduction to phpDocumentor. It's a subject I've been meaning to look into but never really go around to. I'll definitely be looking further into it. On thing I would have liked to see is a live example. I'm not sure you would have had the time, or whether you think it necessary, but i thought it would have been good.
Overall a very good and clear presentation.

Nice introduction into the basics of PHPDocumentor but I feel a bit more emphasis on configuration (ini files etc) may have been more beneficial than covering a specific IDE integration method. The SVN integration would have made for a nice discussion but shame there wasn't quite enough time to fit it in.

A lot of good content but the delivery lacked enthusiasm (possibly due to the frustration with the screen saver kicking in every few minutes!) - I was left feeling like things went slowly and the talk could have been done in half the time.
Not a *bad* talk - still some very good points and a good mix of content and examples.

A good talk with some good examples to show what PHPDocumentor is capable of. A shame about the technical problems, but otherwise a very well delivered talk.

Bastian's talk was an introduction to PHPDocumentor, but he still managed to give me hints and tips on how to improve my own API documentation.
Job well done !
