Introduction to Laravel

I wish Jon had more time to show us more code. He said he did a bad job but I think otherwise. He needed more time. Thank you...

Hey guys. I sincerely apologize for what happened. I was trying to make sure that nobody came out of the talk confused, but it had a different effect. I practiced this talk at several local user groups and I was able to complete it in 65 minutes or less. Anyway, I'm sorry ... I feel extremely terrible.

Jon is a personable guys with a great future in programming - but this talk didn't deliver on the promise from poor prep to a somewhat rambling delivery - it all needs honing. I look forward to seeing him at a future conference with the experience from this informing his future efforts.

Interesting Talk. Started a little late with projector problems. The talk got bogged down a little with all the Laravell config settings, but excellent overview of the Laravell file structure. Good clean examples of MVC at the end. Wanted more but time ran out. Hopefully the example files will be posted somewhere.

Interesting talk. I think the problems have already been highlighted however I wanted to say that you do come across as being very knowledgeable. I would definitely want to attend a talk at the next NEPHP.

I wouldn't mind watching a video presentation of what you wanted to talk about. It would let you cover what you need in the time needed to do it.

This was one of the ones I was looking forward to, due to some projector issues the time was cut short - towards the end it became so interesting specially your route and view examples. Jonathan, if you're willing to do this talk again - I would like to attend.

Keep doing this talk and refining. You should spend 5 minutes in the beginning on what Laravel is, who is team, what's different about it vs. other frameworks, etc. Then instead of going through the directory structure, demo 2 or 3 specific tasks and show how to do them in Laravel.

Thanks man!
