Symfony Live Berlin 2012
22 - 24 Nov 2012 at Umweltforum Auferstehungskirche

This was one of the finest talks in means of holding a speak. David Zülke has an excellent way of performing on the stage and transposing some new and partially academic stuff to an audience.

Good talk to show the power of the 2nd Version to encapsulate "silently" and laverage an application in means of bc.

Compared to all the talks given, this one fell of for me, a little bit.

Probably it is the case that the theme was nnot the most exaggerating for me, but also the style of speeking to the audience fell off just a little bit to most of the other talks.

This should not limit the information degree of the talk, that was excellent, but it was just not that "snappy" as the others.

Nice Talk from the technical aspect, as it opened most of the poeples eyes that bottlenecks often are caused by other aspects than the programmed application.

Great and very well thought talk. It really should be included in Symfony documentations as it explains so much and gives so many tips about THE RIGHT WAY of tweaking forms. I will surely make use of the things I've learned from this talk in many projects. Thanks!

Great talk! The most important thing for me was the encouragement to propose own conventions. Symfony2 avoids to rely on 'magic' elements as opposed to Symfony1 as there is no magic can suit everyone. But that shouldn't prevent developers from inventing their own magic tricks in their own projects or bundles. Personally I don't like 'annotations magic' (it seems to me that using annotations such as @Template somehow mixes Controller and View layers), but idea of extracting ControllerUtils is something I would definitely recommed.

@Marcin: I believe you ARE doing data retrieval in view layer anyway. For example when you include render statement in your Twig template that should display info about the user that is logged in and the template engine calls some controller that fetches the related data from the session. So there is realy no conceptual difference between this approach and adding some Twig filters or functions that would do the same. And it is in most cases better than preparing in the main controller data that may event not be displayed sometimes.

Interesting talk on an important subject. Quite difficult to absorb so I look forward to the moment when the slides will be available online.

Good and well delivered talk. I would like it even more if it were more technical. Nonetheless it was interesting and I will surely look into the Theodo bundle that was mentioned.

Not much of leveraging in my opinion. Some useful feature weren't mentioned (eg. SerializerAwareInterface) and most of the talk was going through different methods to configure JMSSerializer. Showing annotations would be enough, no need to show the same options in YAML or showing serialized data in all formats. I was looking forward to this talk and I am sorry to say that I am dissapointed.

Great talk, lots of new features I personally wasn't aware of. Maybe it would be good to include such short code snippets as were on your slides in blog entries posted when new versions are released? It should be enough for at least part of developers and they would spread the word among others.
