Talk comments
Thanks for sharing this. I liked the unit testing bits best, because unit testing Drupal sounds intimidating, as if it could never happen, but we saw it in action. The part about the different development hosting options, there I did not see the added value of the vagrant stuff. Probably my limitation. If I would want it [Drupal] self-contained, I would just install a linux OS in Fusion (VMWare workstation on windows) and run drupal under apache... I suppose that preferences in that area are just personal and it's not easy to convince anyone they should use a particular solution, unless it's absolutely cross platform, but still, even then... I also had expected some code examples that would help developing better modules. Presentation style was really nice.
Really interesting. It's always good to see how other frameworks do things. I will stick with ZF 2, but I enjoyed your presentation. Seeing composer in action was a bonus. It has more possibilities than I thought. Another bonus was seeing the nice LadyBug project in action.
It was brave of you to take over a talk that you couldn't rehearse. Even without rehearsing you did very well and you are an enthousiastic speaker. As a bonus, I learned about supervisor. Thank you! As for gearman, I heared voices that gearman belongs to the past and that RabbitMQ is the new thing, although more complicated. I wish I had a use for either.
I gained a better understanding of PaaS and how I might benefit by using it. Thanks.
This talk covered Doctrine as well. I appreciated all the information. To make this talk fit in 45 minutes it would need to be much more of an overview, or narrow the focus to the way Symphony2 works with MongoDB.
This was a perfect intro to the conference!
Excellent talk! Came away with some great sticking points on how to promote better design and the shift to different platforms.
It would have been really useful to see a live demo to see it in action. Also, I missed some sort of comparison between dotCloud and other PaaS solutions.
