Talk comments
After having missed most of the content at AmsterdamPHP some months ago because I was too busy launching a site, I was quite happy with being able to get another chance to see the site. And though I was again busy, I finally was able to follow most of the talk. The content is presented in a very good way and ReactPHP actually looks pretty cool. I need to find myself a project where I can start playing with this (and actually, we thought of one as well, so I might actually try and play with that). Thanks for your tips on how I could best implement that idea :)
ReactPHP is a tough subject to get into if you're not familiar with its mindset. Having said that, this talk takes you through all the different components involved in working with ReactPHP complimented with beautiful diagrams of what's happening and in what part of the process we are.
It would be nice to have a list of all the components with a short description, halfway through the talk I lost track of what some components were for.
Also the components are referred to with one letter, perhaps better to use a full name or a logo to make it easier to remember.
Overall a good talk, definitely a more advanced topic.
As someone with prior knowledge of React and Node.js it was really interesting to see what other people build with this asynchronous tools in a PHP landscape.
I agree with Rick that the images/diagrams could have been more clear.
