This was my favorite talk of the conference. Pretty insightful information and techniques shared to drive a powerful datapipeline. Samantha exposed very well with examples and real life experiences. Thanks for sharing!
Loved it. What else can I say?!?
Chris did an awesome job explaining asynch and the cool tools that can make this happen in PHP. The only topic that was not covered was parallel programming in multicore boxes (a solution similar to OpenMP but in PHP)
I think Andy said it well. I went in expecting it to be a beginner level tutorial but hoped I'd learn some finer details that I might have missed.
As much as I love PHPStorm - it's the only IDE I use - I think the code hinting caused issues for the live coding portion (because of the way the project was set up) since it was offering you methods that weren't available yet.
Also, while I LOVED your enthusiasm for the topic, I felt like you kept getting ahead of yourself, which just made the first part of the presentation difficult. At that point, it came across as ad-hock rather than prepared.
I am told that the last portion was fantastic - that more advanced features of OOP were discussed and that people enjoyed pairing up to work, but unfortunately I did not return at the break because I was too frustrated with the first portion and didn't expect the style to change dramatically.
This was a really cool case study!
I had very little of what PHP could handle with regards to async. Chris did a great job talking and using excellent examples to describe async.
Lots of concise and practical information.
Ben is a great teacher
surprising, but enlightening
amazing talk!
