SymfonyLive Portland 2013
19 - 24 May 2013 at Oregon Convention Center

This talk was great. I still think the title is a bit misleading/not sure what it means, but it was a great walk thru of some of the other languages and how they handle HTTP. I also liked a refresher/reminder about xinetd and sockets and pipes. Pretty cool stuff. :)

Of course I'm a bit biased, but I was excited about the Stack stuff at the end. I'm not sure it was talked about enough or described just how it can be used or why?

Great presentation style and I think you did a great job walking people all the way from pipes (and why they are important) all the way to how that applies to CGI, FastCGI, sapi, and HttpKernelInterface.

This was a great watch. Super clever, big win!

The one thing I didn't like, though, was the repetition. I think that part of the problem with the security component is that everything sorta looks alike... and the actors actually helped make that case?

"Says he is Beau, is he actually Beau?" "(Yes|No)"
"I am Beau, Can I do this?" "(Yes|No)"
"Says he is Beau, is he really Beau?" "(Yes|No)"

I think that the complexity comes from so many pieces that do more or less the same thing. Acting them out really highlighted how similar they were. What I think would have been really interesting is to have had more people so that you could show the whole chain of events... and as funny as it was, having a way to actually show who the person was (shirt/sign/whatever) would have been even more useful.

So yeah, it was an awesome presentation, but I think that by extending it a bit more and putting all of the players on the stage at the same time it might be even more useful rather than showing the interaction between just one or two pieces at a time.

All in all, I loved it!

I had no idea that there were so many German's involved in the PHP testing ecosystem. Now I'm frightened. :)

This was a lot of fun. The part I was really excited to see was how composer.json would be able to be embedded into the single file. D'oh! The stream stuff was pretty great, I hadn't really looked too much into that before. Might have to change that!

The talk was very entertaining! The speakers seemed to interact well with each other for the most part. Overall it sort of felt like two talks and touched on both some very simple and some very advanced topics.

The Silex specific stuff was so advanced it would be hard for anyone to follow who hadn't worked in it quite a bit. I'd only used about 1/2 to 3/4 of that functionality and I was still a little lost.

The EBI stuff was super interested and probably could have been a topic to itself. Also: kitten butchery.

The "framework is an implementation detail" aspects were kind of exciting and I liked the mini intro to Behat.

I think leaving out Silex entirely (or not focussed on it so much as actually the implementation part) would have maybe been a little better? The fact that the Silex implementation details were so advanced made it seem even more complicated than it needed to be.

Nice work!

An awesome discussion of design patterns and their real essence. The presentation style was awesome as well!

Good talk! It would be perfect If you get enough time to well explain the last points.

Good talk! It was clear and well explained.

Great talk! I learned valuable new tricks on both Symfony and PHP.

Interesting talk and I agree with all the other commenters here: that dark theme that looks slick on your laptop screen does not translate to a large projected screen.

I'd advise the organizers to provide that tip to future presenters.
