As I continue to think about how this can be used for our projects, so many questions come up. I hope that HiPHoP gets a lot more attention so that it will be a even more worthwhile project to continue working on. The speed increases that it offers will be very beneficial if it can be used to compile frameworks.
After reviewing some of the new features coming to PHP, I wish that we could just hold off on projects until they are real. Many of these features would greatly improve our quality of code and make our projects better. Guess we'll just have to wait.
This was certainly an area where I have no experience. I think that the processes shown can be directly implemented in some of our current projects.
This discussion expanded on some of the other discussions at the event. I think they went together well, where one shared the types of tools, and this one highlighted how these tools can be used to help improve quality of code.
This was an excellent discussion with plenty of real world examples. We currently implement an agile development style, but that is mostly because of our clients. I think we could definitely use some of these methods as an internal development standard.
As a Cake user now, I definitely see its short comings. I certainly don't have the technical expertise to comment on many of the design patterns mentioned in this discussion. I am still interested in trying out the framework. I can't imagine how a web consulting company could stay productive without the use of some framework, and some to better than others at different tasks. Cake may not be perfect but it certainly has its use cases. Lithium will definitely have its own cases as well, and I hope that exploring it will be fun.
Really interested in starting to use some of the tools mentioned. They seem like a quick addition to an existing workflow that will add a great deal of quality to my coding.
Enjoyed hearing about the different release strategies. We use a mismatch of it seems like all of them. I think we would definitely benefit from having just one and sticking to it.
Great concepts, even though none really fit my current needs. Good to know for the future though.
We have been trying out different types of caching recently for a project. I am not very familiar with the whole concept of caching but the concepts and information in the discussion is very helpful.
