Talk comments

I walked in a few minutes late, so I may have missed a key point or two about how elastic search works with your existing stack. That aside, this talk definitely piqued my interest in ElasticSearch and I'll be giving it a look.

While I agree that you don't *need* most of the syntactic sugar in PHP 5.4, I don't know that this necessarily makes them bad features.

Got a bit lost in the switch back and forth between slides and live demo.

Good demos and pros/cons, but the live demos kind of dragged.

Excellent talk! Really appreciated how Chris brought up several different real-world situations and gave strategies for handling each.

As someone that has done a lot of work writing IVRs for two different phone systems, I was very impressed with the stuff Keith presented, and his method of presentation was excellent as well!

Session definitely presented enough information to get you thinking "how can I use this?" Has potential to replace a time based client initiated ajax call to poll for information from the server. Instead a pub/sub or req/rep setup could be used to only send the information when available.

Currently in the process of deciding on a framework for a future version of my application. Was pretty much settled on ZF2, but this sessions has me thinking that Lithium is definitely worth consideration.

Wish I could have attended. Giving it 5 stars for what I imagine it's like.

Learned about a tool that I never knew existed that could be very helpful. Would have been nice to learn about some tools that are available in windows as well, but I know that windows users are the minority when it comes to PHP apps.
