Talk comments
Great talk. Good slides and well paced. Would have liked some more examples of the parsing in action.
After yesterdays great keynote from Douglas Crockford I had high hopes for today, especially as it was 'the man himself' center stage. Instead, we got a preachy message about how our work was pointless unless it was saving human lives followed by some general mocking of oblivious devs and end users.
The crux of the speach was actually an excellent message about how PHP really does need the help of the community to fix problems and test features. Unfortunately for me, it was hard to get back on the Rasmus-train by the time we got around to this part.
One thing that was mentioned (and then retweeted by several) was that php would rather have developers than money donated. Does money not equal developers? If it's a case of not wanting to offend the volunteers by starting to pay other people, could you not at least offer a bounty on bug fixes with the funds? I may be missing a deeper issue here, but if there is one it wasn't mentioned in the talk...
Overall, really disappointed and had some hero-worship dashed in the process.
Nice talk, nice demo. Thank you.
The bit on the dB handler could be left out imho. As you said so yourself the first version isn't all that and didn't seem to add anything real.
Maybe show some more hands-on example on handling scaling up/down a server park?
Great presentation, will definitely check XHprof. Loved the in-dept explanation about APC and Memcached, it was exactly what I needed! Will definitely visit again!
Thank you for the talk.
I liked the step by step examples of coupling and cohesion.
However I think I missed some more real life examples, instead of using the same code example again, in different ways (the examples seemed too much the same imho) more differentiation could be a nice addition.
A summary/overview at the end which shows the different forms coupling and cohesions can't hurt.
Thanks for opening our conference! Your talk was informative and highly entertaining, which is not always easy on topics as dry as programming.
Nice talk, very informative. Great comparison of today's DI implementations (from loose containers to full framework). Thank you.
Some more nerdy jokes to spice things up couldn't hurt.
I am with Kevin Leitch!
