Talk comments
Slightly preachy with the "don't use the builtin webserver in production" thing, but a decent introduction to *some* of the new bits in PHP 5.4
My only criticism would be that the upgrade process from 5.3 to 5.4 was over-trivialised.
It might also have been nice to mention which - if any - of the big PHP projects out there (ZF2 etc) are using any of these new bits and bobs
Speech clear and confident.
I feel that "what it is" needs to be explained more and also when (and when not!) to use it. Who is using it? Why? What are the benefits?
The pace was also a tad too fast.
Excellent! Helped remind me, that I pretty much owe everything "I" do to the open source community. It was a little more reflective than rousing, but nevertheless, inspiring.
Well presented, informative and great live examples made it one of my favourite talks of the weekend. I was already looking into logstash and this made me want to use it even more, awesome presentation!
I feel that this is something that all developers should understand but I have to confess until now I had not bothered to pay attention to it much myself.
A very well delivered and entertaining talk with an important message.
I gained a lot from this and will pa more attention to the underlying system in the future. We can all reboot a server but a server should not really need rebooting!
Good talk, good talker, but some of the slides were a bit unreadable.
Good talk, and might try some of those tests at our next raspberry jam.
Enjoyed it: informative and well presented, also took a lot from it to look at our rwd practices. Got me stoked for the day, and blew my cobwebs off.
A fantastic keynote all round.
Good Subject
Excellent Delivery & handling of the early technical issues.
I will try to improve api designs from this moment onward.
Not his fault, but the code snippet slides were 70% illegible! Rob Allen's code snippet slides, for example, were beautiful.
Far, far too much material for a 50 minute talk. Consider chopping it up into two separate talks. For example "Advanced data structures in SPL" and "How (not) to use PHP arrays".
It would also have been nice to have more real-world examples of common end user - or even developer - problems that the data types can solve.
