CodeWorks 2009 (Atlanta)
28 - 29 Sep 2009 at Atlanta, GA

When it comes to HTTP, this talk provides a good balance of "how it's defined", "what you should do", "what people have done", and "why you should/shouldn't do".

I could easily see this extended into a tutorial-length session that drills deeper into use cases for various status code event sequences and the rationale behind good and bad code sequences.

This session introduced me not only to new static analysis tools to consider, but highlighted features in PHPUnit that I wasn't aware of but are very relevant to the work I'm currently focused on. This content was very interesting and timely for me.

It was very interesting to see pieces of code being dissected by these guys. Seeing the points highlighted and discussed one at a time made for an easy-to-follow as the teachers tried to pull the answers and ideas out of the students.

Awesome session ... not enough time for everything as usual! Loved finding out about JSON though, that's really cool.

I think you had the same problem in this session as you had in the "Stupid Browser Tricks" ... first session after lunch is about as bad as the first session in the morning! I was a bit confused (might have been related to food induced sleepiness) but I'll do more digging as I can find time.

For me, this session was a great follow-up to Stefan Priebsch's Advanced OOP & Design Patterns tutorial. It emphasized some of what Priebsch had said, but also introduced new perspectives. Cal's examples were easy to follow as well. Would actually liked to have had more time for the session.

Good stuff. Some I had seen, some I had not. Chris is 10x the presenter I am. I wish I had his style.

A good presentation, but I think you either need a longer time slot, or might need to see about better balance between the various segments of the talk. Might help if its not the FIRST session in the morning :)

Love the concept of Security-Centered design. The videos are a great way to showcase our ability to pay attention ... or lack thereof.

Really great session, lots of good information. I now know what Memcached is and if I worked in a larger environment... I would really love to use it...
