This was one of the most interesting and distinct presentations I found in this 2-days conference. Though it might not be related directly to technical aspects of Symfony project, the nature of the open source project with a narrative of the struggle to transform it into a commercial success proved to be a timely topic, and every young entrepreneurs could benefit from this history. I even would like to hear this again.
The most likable parts in this presentation are Do's and don'ts are very clearly stated with a good humour. The story telling is easy (and fun) to follow, which I think most people mentioned already. The reason I didn't put 5 is that I personally felt the title is a bit misleading, since I expected this presentation would focus more on some case studies in regard to performance issues ( i.e. How actually they manage to deal with 20M users in 19 countries and where they found bottlenecks, and how they solved those problems, etc...). But generally a good presentation.
It was just an explanation what is Http Cache about. Made propably for 8 yrs old. No knowledge for programmers other than total beginners. Time was wasted.
Good talk! I will review the slides and I will try to apply your tips ;) Thanks for all this collection of tricks and tips
Good talk! Very well prepared, I will review the slides.
As a teacher myself I was really looking forward for this. I am convinced that boiling down Symfony to its minimal dimension is crucial for learning, and the MicroKernel will really help me on that. My next Symfony courses will take this talk in serious consideration. (and I also have a couple of projects that I will enjoy to "microfy" :D)
This talk alone was worth the entire ticket conference :D
I learned crazy stuff about tools that I've been using for years now (like phpunit).
I can't wait to go through all the slides again once available somewhere.
Great talk.
I liked the structure of the talk going from the history and things you'd done wrong in the past and then presenting the solutions you'd found and how you'd avoided making the same mistakes again.
