nice rant about wordpress. thanks for sharing.
Loved it!
Having not had any experience of Zend_Form this talwas a great introduction and has meant that I have come away thinking of how and were I can take advantage of what it offers. Really good introduction.
Very interesting talk. There should really be a version of this aimed at management. If you are a developer wanting to convince management to do something about technical debt or what is sometimes referred to as "maintenance backlog" you should probably think about ways to express the interest that your company is paying on the technical debt in terms of money.
Great content and some good advice for speeding up applications without the risk of actually changing the code. Overran by quite a lot though and would have benfitted from a longer talk slot (it became uncomfortable at the end as the organizers were pushing for the talk to end!)
This is the second of kevlins talks that I have seen and this was as good as I hoped it would be. He set the bar pretty high again for the quality of the talks at the conference and got the day off to a fantastic start!
Kevlin is a really entertaining and knowledgable speaker and I always come away from his talks feeling like I have learned something.
I always enjoy Sebastian's talks. Basicly generated code frameworks are bad. Good to see someone challaging the status quo. Many developers will disagree with what is said but I think he might be right.
Rob delivers technical content well, especially when you can see he enjoys the topic. Nice structure to the talk too. I went knowing nothing about Zend_Form but now feel I know the conceptual overview and can dive in. Possibly could have done with some visuals to illustrate the structure.
Great talk; great tips were given which not only developers should consider. The humor was good though I was under the impression that the sound in the back of the room was not great.
If a fair amount of code can be generated in a consistent way, it should be done. I did not spot any alternatives or success stories ... slides were kind of meaningless imho, standard marketing material.
