PHPBenelux October meeting 2010
27 Oct 2010 at Inventis bvba

Missed the "other" options and a bit more general context for generating pdf with PHP, but still a well done talk

Very nice talk, in all aspects. Already looking forward to an update of it when the mobile (r)evolution consolidates a bit more.

Thanks Ivo!

Talk given with a lot of passion. I too would have wanted more real world examples on how to use it compared to other libraries and how solutions / workarounds might be handled when embedding text and images (jpg, tiff, ...) together in the same page.
Appreciated the personal honesty Dennis put in the presentation about shortcomings and great features of Zend_Pdf.
Overal I enjoyed it and I was happy with this revisit to Zend_Pdf.

Job well done! I enjoyed listening to this talk. Very well presented, and Ivo knows what he's talking about.

One tip: when showing the device detection code in a ZF project, you might want to look at Zend_Http_UserAgent, which is available as of ZF 1.11.0.

Excellent! Everything I wanted to know about writing mobile applications was there. Thanks for the great tips about webservices and other things.

It 's also pretty obvious that Ivo has spoked before on numerous occasions. He is very pleasant to listen to and got my attention from the very first to the very last second.

Pleasant speaker to listen to, although I didn 't learn that much. Why not skip the feature list and go straight to code examples and advanced usage? Try to talk more about things not readily available on user and API manuals. For example, I liked hearing your opinion on the whole coordinates problem. I would also have liked a comparison with other products. Choosing a library to use for PDF generation is the first problem for any developer.

Overall a good talk! Fluent speaking and presentation skills.

Very nice presentation, with Ivo you immediately feel you are dealing with a professional speaker: the content was rich and flavored with some cool jokes.
Great presentation and I can warmly advise those who are currently working or planning on working on mobile projects to attend his presentation as it really contains some valuable information.

Very good and well prepared talk, which made you think about the overall direction the web is going w.r.t. mobile and which impact it has on web developers. I loved the way how Ivo didn't start out with some code examples but instead looked at the broader picture of the mobile ecosystem. Later on, the useful pointers on various bits to consider when developing for mobile were new to me and very interesting. It's a subject that'll be more and more present when web and mobile come together, and I like to see even more of it! As always: very good speaker, well done!

Good talk about Zend_Pdf, although I would have loved to know more about advanced usage and real-world examples (with the nitty-gritty details). Comparison with tcpdf, libpdf and fpdf would also be interesting, since quite some questions boiled down to that. Clearly, there's some work left on Zend_Pdf and Dennis seemed very eager to get started on contributing some additions, in true open source spirit ;-)

nice and clear overview of the mobile future for web app developer and the role php has to play in it. Not that i agree with all of the assumptions wether native- or webapps will take over but i certainly learned a few things. this is definitely a talk i'll be looking back at when starting my next mobile project.
nice slides too :)
