Lone Star PHP Conference
29 - 30 Jun 2012 at Addison Conference Center

Very helpful. Please post the slides here so I can get the detailed instructions.

Pre-rated as AWESOME.

Awesome speech! Very helpful.

Forget PHP, every web developer needs to listen to this talk.

This talk wasn't very helpful as an intro. Most of the topics that came up felt like they were just named and described very briefly, without any connection to practical use. Didn't actually even get me interested investigating them any more, except maybe for academic reasons. I think it would have been more useful to dive into 1 or 2 of them more briefly, showing what they would actually accomplish.

So good that I SOILD myself.

Love it, very useful.

The web is a scary place, and everyone's out to get you.

I agree with Allen—if the point of the talk was that the new features are bad, that should have been reflected in the title of the talk, so we knew what we were getting into.

Personally, I think it's at least a coding style preference thing. These features are coming from newer dynamic languages and are very popular, so clearly someone thinks they can have value.

It was nice having some non-mainstream beer there.
