Symfony Live London 2012
13 - 14 Sep 2012 at The Brewery

The delivery was okay, but the content was quite basic, for the guys new to Symfony, perhaps it was great, but for anyone else I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have worked this much out for themselves in their own usage, you're not going to get very far without using configuration.

Contained some useful tips, especially regarding Satis.

Hey Michey, Thanks for pointing that out. For some reason Keynote kept the old hyperlink we used for the first round (private repo). Even after we changed the Hyperlink text, the actual link didn't change. I am re-uploading the slides. Take care.

I have to agree with John and Peter - the best talk by far, but very hard to follow the demo. I was hoping to do as Marcello suggested and follow the commit log on Github, but the link to the repo in the slides 404s :o(

I felt honoured to hear from Fabien.

I enjoyed the delivery and subject matter, it felt like a brief glimpse into his thinking.

My only criticism would be that I had hoped for a little more enthusiasm towards the event and attendees themselves as a mark of the first big event in London and the excitement that the majority felt - especially as it was the closing keynote.

Excellent approach. Great to see a visual demonstration / reminder of the power of pure command-line operation - I wonder how many people launch chrome from a console...

It could have been even better with a compelling introduction but the time-frame was understandably tight.

You also asked halfway through whether it was too slow and you should speed up. It was easily the fastest paced talk I attended. If anything I would increase explanation rather than speed it up.

This was one of the first talks on my list due to a real interest in using it.
I left feeling informed and encouraged about giving it a go.

However I felt that it could have covered more in the time frame such as how to handle many to many definitions (not just the result on screen), custom theming and how to easily extend/integrate your own features (with a practical example).

Good fun - I was entertained.

The underlying message of being thoughtful and aware of your config was more powerful to me than the 'how'.

I felt that there could have been a few more thought out examples and complex scenarios. Also some relation to config file locations. In SF2 there can be a huge number of files all over the place, so how and where you should divide config scope is useful as well as definition.

Very enjoyable, informative and well split between the presenters.

I felt the case as to 'why' could have been more compulsive.

I also felt that the depths of the functionality were covered a little to early for an SF2 developer. I would have appreciated these more advanced features after seeing how it hangs together in a way that I will use.

Very well presented, clearly very passionate. Some fundamentals that are not necessarily revolutionary but explained in a really useful and enjoyable way. I had no problem with the time overrunning!
