SunshinePHP 2014
6 - 8 Feb 2014 at Embassy Suites Miami International

I caught the end of this talk after another had finished early, but I can tell the rest of it was excellent based on the part I did catch. Even somebody already experienced with ZF2 modules would have something to gain by attending.

There was plenty of good material covered, and I found Michelangelo very easy to understand. I think this workshop would benefit from more interactive examples in the future, though, whether it's him demonstrating these tools running on different sets of example code or having attendees install the tools themselves and try things out. The talk finished early, so there would have been plenty of time for this.

One of the best talks I attended at this conference. Anthony was a very clear and focused speaker, and his presentation was very hands-on. The code snippets and real-life open-source projects he selected for examples demonstrated a lot of the topics he covered. I learned quite a lot!

FYI, the slides linked are slightly rearranged from the presentation. Essentially I moved the slides on interfaces to the end. So now there is a first part that is entirely PHP agnostic and then a final part that applies the concepts to PHP.

Gave me a good idea how I have reinvented the wheel a couple of times :)

Even tough I was somewhat prepared what to expect from the lecture (a colleague of mine did a review of Ilia's talk at zendcon 2014), it still pleased me a lot to hear some new things.

Good talk, well structured, good examples. Very good explanations to the questions from the audience.

Very interesting way to do acceptance testing - definitely hooked me up to try it.

I liked the way Ricard approached redis and how you can scale with it, I wish we'd seen more concrete php examples, but besides that it was an interesting talk and I feel I haven't used the whole potential of redis, so I'm motivated to put in practice some of the tips and best practices Ricard Mentioned.

I was expecting this talk to go into more details maybe taking a concrete example like the CMF project and phpcr. However, I liked the talk at a high level view, I wish we'd have more time to go into more details.
