Talk comments
An energetic speaker, enthousiastic about the subject. But I can't get around the feeling that it was a talk about the good stuff, while there were a lot of remarks from the audience showing that there are a lot of things where PHAR actually isn't that great. Why not just start with the realistic possibilities of PHAR: where and when is it good to use it, and where should I just simple avoid using them? It would make me leave the talk more with a feeling that I know the pros and cons of PHAR, instead of letting me try things to only get disappointed that it will just not work as expected in certain circumstances.
But imho it was a great talk, and I'm really going to try using it at some point! Keep up the good work at integrating this into PHP, and spread the word!
This was good fun! Played some bowling games, met new people, and the kinect competitions were nice!
Fries, snacks and beer. Just awesome!
Sweet! Though I wish there was more on plugins and plugin managers instead of basic key bindings. I believe many people got inspired!
Interesting talk, but a little too much into numbers for me. Rather i would've been more interested into hearing about the essence of the tools that use the metrics.
The slides that compared the metrics to other languages were interesting to see though. Also, it was well presented, very knowledgeable!
Slow presentation, with strange examples. Why compare two things, and then load an extra "helper" in one of them, instead of using built-in functionality? It makes the code less easy to compare, and keeps the focus away from the interesting stuff.
There were lots of names in this presentation that I will look up, but the presentation itself was more about the why micro-frameworks were created in the first place, not about why one could/should use them. No comparison between those interesting names, no showing why and what they are doing wrong or right, and no answering the question where and when to use them, nor if it is at all a good or bad thing to use them.
I have to say that this seemed more of a philosophical talk about PHP itself, topped off with a hint of being demotivational to even try to share your own less complex code that could resolve a small problem and could be used in an easily reusable way.
As for Fabien however: great and calm speaker!
Well presented, you guys are a good speaker duo.
A few more practical would've been nice. Judging by some of the previous comments, there's still a lot of confusion about how to incorporate HTTP effectively in certain environments.
It was good, because it confirmed my current knowledge of HTTP (and REST), and i also learned some new things and got inspired.
Beer, food, scarf... what potentially could go wrong?! Big thanks for Orchestra for the after party. Shame it was so cold cause I would definitely stay longer without moaning how cold it was!
Best closing keynote I have seen so far. I LOVED the appreciation part of it! I LOVED the bond with the audience! I LOVED the freedom. It was just an awesome talk!
Great talk! Kore and Tobias are a great combination and together they make sure that you won't miss out on a single detail. The examples were good.
Although things covered in this talk was basic OO design (kinda obvious), i learned about the SOLID principle, and raised awareness on the importance of good OO software design.
