Talk comments
This talk was great, there were some great concepts covered.
Helpful overview of a whole load of things. Not really what i expected from the title. Best bits were the overview of linux and the associated tools. I think it probably tried to take on too much and consequently felt a bit rushed.
Generally very good. Made me excited about using the framework, and pleased with the direction zf2 has taken. The modular approach really resonates with me.
The zend\form treatment on the day felt rushed, it could probably do with a whole afternoon to itself. The parts i enjoyed most were the discussions on service manager and event manager. I would have enjoyed more concrete examples of hooking into the event driven nature of zf2.
In all a good introduction, that has given me a starting point to explore further.
Very useful, learnt loads. I liked the background and explanation of the complexities behind things.
A lot of what I learnt here will be useful for my day job. In particular the best way to store timestamps from different timezones in the database. Brought to light lots of other useful features I could use but wasn't aware of. Highlighting the extras you get from createFromFormat was a nice bonus, I'd never used ! or * as format parameters before as I just assumed they were the same as the ones used for date().
Material was very dense towards the end. Found myself missing out on the start of the next slide as I was processing what had just gone before it. Not a criticism, it's clearly labeled 'Advanced', and that' s what I wanted, but just trying to add something constructive if you're looking to tweak anything.
Nice talk! I mostly enjoyed the part talking about sponsoring a community event.
Excellent talk and nice to see it presented with just the right amount of humour. Great start to the day!
Very well delivered, Rowan comes across as an excellent communicator and a funny guy to be around.
Really enjoyed the first half, I got a little bored as we went through some of the code, but then picked up again with more AWS provisioning stuff towards the end.
Like David White mentioned above, as a manage who has had to to deal with developers who were disgruntled about code reviews, I'd like to have seen more about this. Sebastien covered how they should behave, but the thing I've found most difficult is getting them to understand that.
All in all a good talk.
Great introduction to React, something I've been aware of for a while, but not taken the time to look at in any kind of detail.
Igor was also funny, which adds nicely to an informative talk.
Great talk highlighting some amazing new features of PHP 5.4. I look forward to having a play with these new features.
