Amazing talk on the history and future of PHP.
Great talk, well researched but lacking the depth of real world experience. Still, I learned a lot and enjoyed it.
Good introduction to Symfony 2 and the different things that can be done with it.
Both Keith and Amit did great intros to get attendees up to speed, and I had a lot of fun hacking some stuff together!
This presentation was very smooth. Rowan has a great sense of how to present a new highly technical set of tools to an audience.
I missed the beginning but the generator information was quite interesting and Davey did an excellent job of explaining the nuances of how it acts.
The historical background was enjoyable to hear about, but I think the audience would have preferred more practical application of the concepts. Examples given were simple enough to introduce concepts, but not really enough to show how they might be applied in a real world setting or how they might affect readability or maintainability of code. That said, Larry is very versed in the subject matter and delivered it in a way that was understandable to the average developer, which is difficult to do for the concepts that were reviewed in this presentation. For that, I give him props.
Very fun despite the technical hiccups, though more rounds and maybe a playoff between the individual round winners might have made for more extended fun.
really good walkthrough.
Great talk with lots of depth from real world experience.
