Talk comments
Rowan really knew his topic, and is an excellent speaker. Really enjoyed the depth into the topic - it was nice to have a practical code examples, star trek aside!
Lots of top tips, thanks Ian!
A good intro to unit testing with ZF in mind. Useful beyond ZF too as not everything was ZF specific.
Great insight in what's to come in ZF2. Nothing alarming and most improvements make a lot of sense. Rob presents clearly and with authority as always. Very enjoyable.
Some interesting ideas. Not sure all of them are possible but a select handful might work well.
Nice location and facilities if a few minutes walk from the conference centre and majority of hotels but nothing drastic. Might be nice to see informal talks/unconf as a bit of an ice breaker.
Funny and Informative as always. David's talks are always a joy to behold. URL Design really does require more thought by a lot of developers.
Some great tips. Definitely need to go over the slides again. Some really good links.
I really enjoyed this. Good intro to unit testing. Can't wait to try it on my projects... :)
Rob's enthusiastic about this topic, which kept it engaging. He's also very knowledgeable on the subject, so pushed out a lot of useful information. Criticisms would be that it felt a bit rushed at the end and didn't close that strongly. There was also a bit of a mix in of general PHP 5.3 features, but it was still relevant.
Also, loved the minimalist slides. Can be difficult to pull off, but it worked.
