+1 for Unicorn Puke.
While things like Bootstrap have helped us move out of the early 90's when developers need to design, this presentations gives a good overview of things we still need to look out when we customize or create designs from scratch.
Interesting to see how XOOPS has changed since I used it years ago. Will definitely check it out.
Loved the non-programming overview of Responsive Design, especially on how to convert fixed-width grids to fluid grids.
It was early, so perhaps I was sleeping, but it seemed like this was more a 'building prototype apps responsibility using router focused frameworks' than Silex focused.
Not that I'm complaining about that - I just haven't used Silex in the past, and don't feel I know much more about it. That said, the talk was a great example about building API focused applications and sharing the codebase between the web and the command line.
Nice system, I see lots of potential for XOOPS to supplant things like Drupal and Wordpress.
Unicorn puke is such a great term.
Awesome talk during the Cincinnati leg. Use Silex quite a bit, but still learned a better way to handle maintaining large amounts of routes.
Good talk, and very brave to try the live coding demo! I think when you reference the Micro PHP manifesto, you could add a couple of minutes explaining the specific benefits of using Silex vs a "true" micro-framework like Limonade or Slim.
Otherwise this was very informative & a surprisingly comprehensive intro to getting something stood up. I appreciate the lack of boilerplate that's necessary.
Slow typing during demo, a few too many awkward silences. The "light-weight" Symphony framework he's advocating seems way too heavy. I got away from XML sit-ups in Java just to do JSON sit-ups with Composer? Good way to show my coworkers why we developed our own MVC framework instead of using an existing one..
Interesting, real life look at how far projects should take continuous integration. Picked up a few tools that I didn't know about, like Sonar, to add to my toolbox.
