Talk comments
Good talk Jeff, thanks for the demos.
Good presentation. We had most of the problems Matthew's talked about a few months ago and I picked a couple of interesting concepts we can apply to.
Having this kind of talk in a PHP dev conference was a very good idea. Mark seems to be a good speaker also, but the talk could have had a clearer message than: Enterprises go to cloud and web developers, you, make the cloud.
Started off a little slow, but by then end became a presentation that I wish our entire organization could view.
Great talk. It's always a pleasure to listen to Alvaro.
Larry is a very enthusiastic speaker and was good for the opening keynote. I think he would also be good for the first talk after lunch to wake everyone up!
The flow of the presentation was very confusing. Seemed to jump all over the place. Needed to tie some of the early content with the remainder of the presentation (e.g., showed a diagram of application architectures you don't like ... show one toward the end that you do with some concepts presented during the talk).
Also, wasn't sure who the audience of this talk was for ... those building applications that require the features of a CMS, or those wanting to build CMS services for others to consume. I guess both.
The topic is one our team was really interested in, unfortunately.
Very interesting lecture, very useful if you have to deal with dates/times across different timezones, calculate time differences. Makes good examples and tips on modern php built-in classes and functions that solve such problems.
