Talk comments
Nice talk...food for thoughts...
Superb talk. Fast-paced, but not too. I think I remember I heard you saying that this was the first time you did the talk and I was really amazed at this. Also I think that the entire room was very impressed with XHprof. I think this tool will become more widely adapted thanks to this talk!
I find the topic very interesting, and I'm very convinced you know a lot about this subject but it was hard to follow at times. I would suggest less scrolling and more isolated examples.
Nice talk, informative, funny and neat introduction of the RMM levels.
Not reaLly a workshop so therfore i vote 3/5 but nevertheless I've leaned some new things, so tnx!
I think this presentation gave some really good pointers, but the talk was so cluttered that as a listener you really had to work as well to distill the information that you wanted.
I feel this is due to the approach being from a rather academic viewpoint of wishing to discuss all aspects of a good API. The true art in a 45 minute presentation for me is the presenter being able to distill the main lines.
The slides looked very nice and it was clear that time was invested in creating them. However if you tend to utter more than three to four sentences about a bullet point, I would suggest to change the style so that only the bullet points that you have discussed are shown and the bullet point you're currently discussing is shown in some special layout (bold, other color). This makes it easier for the audience to concentrate on that specific point and see how it relates to the subject you're discussing at that specific moment.
I can somewhat relate to the request for more code examples, but I personally would suggest in a bit more general fashion for more examples, not necessarily code. For instance the 'common terms' pointer: you can talk about this, or show examples of APIs which are not consequent and suggest improvements.
Next time I'm in the process of designing an API, i'll be sure to have a look at this presentation again!
David: you can probably get away with a single 'bad example', though I'd love to see a 'good example' so I'm not sure the trade out is going to save any time.
Beyond that it was a really fun, humours talk with some excellent examples and a great speaker.
Cryptography is a hard subject! This talk isn't for starters if you add some more cryptography in depth concepts to the talk.
It was good to hear about the decisions made for the new Zend\Crypt component.
Great talk dynamics, excellent topic. Too bad it lasted only 45mins
Nice to see various possiblities, examples worked well and the presenting style was nice.
