All and all a good workshop. Had a few bumps in the beginning but they were not the presenters fault. I really enjoyed hacking around a bit with node.io.
I actually really enjoyed this talk. IMO, Mike did an awesome job and while it would have been awesome if the talk was framework-agnostic, the title and description of the talk specified that it would be specific to Zend, so I knew that going in. The talk was interesting, on-point, and Mike had the right amount of humor. Also, Andrew actually provided the "framework-agnostic" talk on REST APIs.
Meghan did a great job and had me laughing! I'm a UX professional and decided to sit in on this talk because I feel it's always good to get refreshers. She did an excellent job explaining the fundamentals of UX and why it's important. Sometimes we're so busy developing that we don't take the time to think about who's actually "interfacing" aka "using" the application. She's a very polished speaker and did a good job with answering questions at the end. - Mary

Great talk to end the day. Nice to see in detail how a large operation Etsy runs. "so what happened on memorial day weekend"
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.
I enjoyed this talk - XMLHTTPRequest is what makes Ajax work. It is a hard topic, and presented well. As Larry mentioned - for specific examples you can go to his website and download his GREAT examples.

I have been reading Larry's books and following Larry Ullman's web sites for 10 years. To hear him, in person, explaining his story, was great.
After you have read a book a year from someone - you think you know him, and in person he does not disappoint! His presentations are as clear and organized as his books.
It was not clear what level this talk was going to be, so I that it was going to be more advanced...but it was a very well given talk and I am sure that it gave a lot of folks a lot of really great foundation in regular expressions!!
