Symfony Live London
19 - 20 Sep 2013 at Glaziers Hall

Excellent talk, although I felt the theoretic background to be a bit on the long side.

All the reasoning gives a very good background why this is an awesome feature which could otherwise be seen as "why the heck would I want that?". Yay kittenz

A good talk with lots of contents squeezed in.
I'm afraid it's maybe a little too basic (I bet most people in the audience already had their hands on Silex in one way or another).

I felt a little like my day at work is being shown on the screen. I wish I'd seen this earlier. Very well done.

P.S. I still haven't seen the 'throw new PupilAlreadyInGroupException' to get moved inside foreach/if and remove all those booleans around ;)

Great topic, great presentation.
My expectations were too high though. I would have really loved to see more specific examples and what particular Symfony components were great at replacing what, and things like that - more details, essentially.
Varnish part could be extracted into a separate talk or summarized further. Event though it is a good fit here, it is somewhat of a different topic (e.g. not only those transferring from legacy should be interested in it).

Incredible how this guy is capable of squeezing half-day of a topic into 40 min talk. Bonus points for the graphs on how long "being fast" is worthwhile. And finally someone doing a real 'dead demo'. Awesome!

I second what @karolsojko said. And the timing.. well you know it already.
I'd vote this as one of the best talks in this con.

Very nice and thought provoking talk!
The only things that could be better, I think, is that the beginning was rather slow until it got up to speed; and the end was a little cliff-hanger to me - why not go all the way into the conceptual world and show how to make all the bundles independent with dependency-inversions and bridges

1. you have put the slides on slideshare but you forgot to plug them here https://speakerdeck.com/richardmiller/atm

2. I have a question regarding one slide

Request Absence Controller -> Cancel Absence Command

Request Absence Controller-> Cancel Absence Command Handler -> Absence Entity

shouldn't it be

Request Absence Controller-> Cancel Absence Command Handler -> Cancel Absence Command -> Absence Entity

please confirm, just curious what you said there. Thanks!

Nice combination of "why" and "how".
