I found the section about handling account login issues very interesting and it's an area that I now intend to improve in my code. More detail about detecting that what attacks are happening would be appreciated too.
Very good talk on a pretty big subject area. Excellent presentation and delivery. Like Joe said above the maths side of it went a bit to quick for me also. I think that was more to do with the fact they ran out of coffee in the foyer and I didn't get my full caffeine quota before hand.
*heads over to slideshare to recap ;-)
Same for me I'm afraid. I expected a lot more from this, given the title, and left feeling like it was really a sales pitch for Oracle's monitoring platform.
I also felt the methods suggested here for various things were a bit back to front and the suggested 'issues' of high traffic sites / apps can mostly be taken care of in the development environment by employing profiling, load testing etc. Disappointing.
Very interesting talk. I use ZF every day also and it was also reassuring to see that I am already doing (mostly) the things highlighted by Stefan here.
Was particularly interested in the CSRF examples.
Guilty as charged, must do more!! Slightly confused by some of the suggested mediums though, for example I don't consider twitter to be an effective contribution mechanism .... but, a good talk none the less. Thanks Matthew!
The twitter/picture slideshow behind the people on stage made it entertaining and fun. But it seems like the speakers & topics could have been planned a bit better. (Obviously the crowd questions can't be planned, but the topics that the speakers would be discussing/debating/etc). Instead of being focused on a topic or two, was 5 different people touching very different topics, and therefore instead of being a panel, was more like lots of separate short talks.
Good, but not perfect. As another reviewer said, the twitter/slideshow is what made it the most enjoyable :-D, and more than made up for any slow segments during the chat. I would have really liked to see a focused panel though talking between each other about hot topics in PHP however.
Well-prepared session, beautiful slides, and clear delivery. Well done Ian, hope we'll see you speaking at another event!
HTTP is pretty dry and with all the examples in it took some time. I'd rather have seen more use-cases for the different status codes but I thought it was a well-researched and thorough session
Predictably, I liked the kittens :) Some of the issues around account locking and identification were nicely done - would have liked to seen an hour of this level of content.
Wow! Pretty amazed also at the amount of API's now offered by Y! Will definitely be checking that out more in the coming weeks.
