Talk comments
I agree with the rest. Talk was more a list of implementation steps, not so much about real insights.
This might have been a
Good talk, good slides and examples. Hoping the slides will be on here too?
I think there should have been a brief introduction in the beginning about what exactly Async Applications are, and the subjects we're about to cover. (I have to add that I originally subscribed to another course that got cancelled last minute, so I was left a bit in the dark at first). I also agree with the other reviewers that the code snippets should have been downloadable. I can type code and I can listen, but I can't do both at the same time :)
As for the rest, it was an interesting workshop.
The talk could be better organised: provide your audience with more information on how it is structured, and where in your talk we are. There was a lot of useful information. Also, I would recommend to somehow add Varnish to the title, instead of using REST twice.
The topic and slides showed great potential. I was disappointed with the way it was presented; very monotonous.
Need some work with the slides. Zoom more in on details. To much zoomed out.
Well structured, well presented and with the right amount of relevant information. Really great talk.
interesting summary. Good examples.
Attempt 2, sorry:
This might have been a case of wrong expectations on my side. This tutorial was my first choice, but tickets for this tutorial were sold out. When the tutorial I chose got cancelled because the speaker fell ill, I was able to attent this tutorial after all.
I think that what I expected was more emphasis on the 3.4 to 4.0 change. The first part of the tutorial did cover this, but not that much more than what I already figured out by starting a blank Symfony 4 project (and boy, starting that 4.0 project was a shocker! Where's Doctrine? Where's Twig?). The second half (the hands-on part) was basically what I do all the time: creating Entities, Controllers, Twig templates and Console commands. It was interesting to see the slightly different approach with controllers, but other than that, not much new. Looking around, I saw lots of attendees using Slack, WhatsApp or checking their mailbox, so I think I wasn't the only one having the "been there, done that" feeling.
