Dutch PHP Conference 2009
12 - 13 Jun 2009 at Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Great stuff on the nested interval model and the sql standard way of using trees, neither of which I'd used before.

At the beginning you where a bit hard to understand, try to articulate better.

I liked the whole explanation about what a tree actually is, and the examples about solutions on how to handle inner node deletions was very nice.

Wow, good thing I knew a bit about adjacency list and the nested set, because it got rather complex with the nested interval model.

Great talk, loads of extra material to look at on the slides too!

I don't use the ZF app framework myself, but checked this presentation to see if there are some nice ideas to use. And there were. Amongst which the auto generated CSRF token in the form generator.

Actually a small question/side discussion gave me a good idea for auto-encoding strings in my own front-end framework.

So this was a nice update and pretty inspirational.

A good solid talk. Interesting stuff.

A very practical talk that gave a lot of nice ideas for the next uber high traffic project.

I don't want to speak badly of the presenter because he did a genuine attempt, but I felt the talk did not really give the necessary insight on the thoughts behind why working with the SPL is "the right way", nor were the examples or benchmarks very good. Seeing that there was a lot of time left at the end, I would suggest for a next presentation to add more examples, for example traversing a directory tree using the RecursiveIteratorIterator in a oneliner, using the interfaces ArrayAccess and Iterator in your own class (so few people know this), building some data structures, and doing real benchmarks (e.g. 100,000 iterations).

Great introduction of the principles behind this pattern. REST seems to be one of those things that you've heard of, but don't really feel until someone sits you down and talks about it. Well that happened RESTfully.

Excellent overview of deployment basics and the different strategies to do release management. Each with their advantages and problems. All sprinkled with real-world experience and examples. A great talk for for both beginners and experienced attendees.

Good talk!
