Jason did an excellent job in providing insight into Agile development, reinforcing my personal beliefs in the effectiveness of its implementation.

With all the folks using "Agile" to mean "what I'm doing", it's good to see an actual functional definition, and talk about steps to get there. Thanks for this talk. Very helpful.
I'd liked to have seen lithium in action. I think the concepts are certainly interesting and from speaking with joël offline I can see the benefits. I'd liked to have seen more of that in the talk though.
I'm pretty sure that the first thing that we said in the talk was that Lithium Sucks. If asserting the fact that our own framework sucks is arrogant, then I'm fine with that.
(P.S. I can't seem to leave a comment without giving it a rating)
Definitely knew his stuff! Great explanations of several of the SPL features, with speed comparison charts which was great for illustrating they should be utilized. Would have liked to have seen some practical applications of problems they solve, when you use them, etc, but excellent presentation nonetheless!
Great job. Nice to see real structure making it's way to php.
Excellent introduction to MongoDB. The PHP extension for MongoDB seems well thought out and I will definitely be investigating Mongo out. Interesting to see discussion of using multiple instances even for small systems.
Really looking forward to using some of the new SPL features in PHP 5.3. This presentation was a great overview of these data structures for someone without a computer science background.
Excellent info and analysis!
