Talk comments
Great talk, excellently presented, but the room was way too hot and crowded...
I was interested by by most of the content in this talk, and would have liked even more components discussed, but understand the time constraints. Jakub was clearly nervous, but i think he still got the information over clearly enough.
I was not sure what to expect as I have been playing with ZF2 for a few weeks and felt like ZF2 in a day was never going to happen.
How wrong I was... Rob and Evan gave a well delivered tutorial and covered a massive amount in a short space of time. I followed 80% of it first time but did get lost and confused in the last exercise. I think this was due to it being late in the day and possibly too much at once. I would have liked more small exercises but due to time limitations it was understandable.
Overall I feel that it was more than I expected and I would/will definitely go to another of their tutorials.
Entertaining talk, had me laughing, and also informed me about php's retort to node.js.
As usual, really enjoyed this presentation, and wasn't aware of all the complexities surrounding time zones. I do now!
Way over my head but I'm pleased that writing a brand new language is humanly achieavable (kinda).
Great keynote, really enjoyed it:entertaining and engaging, and will try to take some of those practices on board.
Very well presented with a good mix of humour and serious content. 'Treat developers like real people' should be a programming mantra.
Michelangelo is an advocate and spokes person for open source, there is no doubt; but I felt that he was at times preaching to the choir. He is obviously passionate about the community but perhaps some advice on how we as developers can persuade our employers to get involved would have been useful. Business obviously benefits hugely from open source but how can the community put the message across in a way that business will understand and appreciate enough to give back.
Enjoyed it, and am gonna be using it....Still a bit hot in there though, but not as bad as the when the varnish talk was on.
