Talk comments
This talk was absolutely amazing. The structure and points made are not specific to PHP. Everything they discussed are important to the overall process that "should" be implemented in your SDLC. I like how everything tied in together with the talk of Continuous Integration.
My favorite talk so far. Tons of great info from a rational, (mostly) vcs agnostic point of view. Great information on whether or not to switch from svn to dvcs, including some great info on svn bridges (bzr-svn, git-svn). Awesome job, Lorna.
(Objective, that's the word I was looking for. Rational, sure, but objective, that's the ticket.)
Loved it!! I finally feel like I can defend sticking with SVN. I am going to play around with a bridge though and ease into git/hg/bzr locally. Can I give this 6 thumbs up? Alright, I'm done gushing.
This was a great talk. Even though I work on small scale systems, it gave me things to think about and I at least know what the options should be when things go high scale. GREAT intro.
Great talk. Well paced and objective overview of svn, hg, git and bzr.
Excellent talk with a very practical unbiased view of the popular version control systems out there today (aside from occasional humorous jabs). Outstanding objective review of when and why you'd want to use each, how they compare in terms of functionality, and how to integrate them into your workflow. Developers as much as users of these version control tools should see this talk; they'd benefit immensely from Lorna's perspective.
The best ideas brought up were dead simple things that brought on pure "duh" moments. Can't wait to implement some of the ideas.
Great talk, wish I could get the slides to show people I work with that were unable to come.
Great talk with lots of different approaches to the various problems discussed with their pros and cons. Invoked good discussion. I could probably attend it again and still glean something new. Excellent job Eli!
Very practical, informative, thorough comparison of version control systems. I learned a lot, and liked the emphasis on choosing what fits your needs the best. Thanks!
