Dutch PHP Conference 2010
10 - 12 Jun 2010 at Amsterdam

Great talk! The part about the QA tools could've been a talk all by itself. The part about unit testing isn't all that new and fancy, but really triggered me to make some necessary steps in that part. The part about the QA tools and how they relate to each other and can be used together really got me motivated to find some free time to play with this, should be great!

Enjoyable and informative. Would of exchanged topic count for more advanced usage but you have to please the masses :)

Same as my comment on: http://joind.in/talk/view/1523 just had to knock a star off as it did become harder to concentrate later on. Not sure if there was any way around that though, pretty intense subject.

Melanie knows her stuff, so there was a lot of great technical content in here. She's also good at answering questions on the fly while keeping the flow of the presentation. This was particularly useful, as I don't think (as an audience) we quite had the C skills she was initially expecting.

Learned a lot, definitely made the right choice of workshop to attend.

First time a saw the 'in-IDE-debugging' thing ran, and I'm quite impressed about the smooth integration with NetBeans.
And it's always nice to work with the latest release, hope we were good beta testers.

Enjoyed this talk very much. I read a lot about all the tools and have some installed at work, but now I can really pass the knowledge on to my colleagues. Thanks!

Awesome tutorial! Still learned stuff. You both do a good session, thanks

The second part showed me a lot of things I haven't seen before. Especially the part about unit testing controllers was total awesomeness. And exactly what I needed to do next week.

The live code demo was a great sub-session, I love these real life examples.

A very large thanks for Matthew and Rob, they have shown me how to become a better ZF user, now all I need to do is apply this information.

Great tutorial! Melanie covered everything, from the most basic 'hello world' PHP extension to actually explaining how to deal with stuff like ZVALs, hash tables, classes and objects. The learning curve is a bit steep if you've never actually written a PHP extension (like myself) but Melanie explained everything in a very clear way.

Now I've done the tutorial I don't have the feeling that I can write an extension without having an example next to it quite yet, but at least I now know what's going on when I look at the sourcecode of existing extensions, and I know where I can find the building blocks to create my own extension :). Great tutorial overall, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to write PHP extensions.
