Web & PHP Conference
16 - 18 Sep 2013 at San Jose McEnery Convention Center

thanks for the reminder about xdebug + webgrind, I haven't used that yet and I think I have a reason to push for it now.

As I was wanting more technical detail, I had to remind myself this was a keynote. Luckily you gave another talk on the subject which actually went in to more detail.

Great presentation, delivered well, also very useful information about different tools and methods to help.

Seemed like the information we all should know because we work with it every day. However, I don't keep up with the features of the bleeding edge let alone 2 versions newer. (At least I'm on 5.3)

Wim also provided other interesting notes about end of life and file upload extension that I had no idea about.

Glad I attended.

I appreciated the levity in the back and forth canned comedy script of the presenters. Not only was there a definition of the problems but also an approach and possible products to help solve the problems.

Good delivery, engaging and relevant to the topic overall.

It was a good story, and a nice complement to a lot of the technical sessions. It was fun to think about and be inspired to continue hacking away on crazy side projects.

I enjoyed the talk because I didn't know that there were tools to help facilitate the code review process. I think it would have been helpful to see some screenshots or demos of tools, because I couldn't quite visualize what David was talking about.

Great overview of caching technologies. I didn't have a very good idea about what the different tools were before, so this helped a lot. The talk was complemented by Marco Emrich's Fast Websites talk that focused on front end optimizations.

The talk had good structure, taking you from raw C to showing how the PHP Core provides lots of structure to extension authors. Because of the overview, I feel like I could dive into developing PHP extensions if I needed to. I know where to start, where to get help, and I can understand the gist of the c code.

It would be helpful to know under what circumstances it would be useful to write custom php extensions. Obviously a database driver would be a good candidate for an extensions, but are there other cases I would need to consider?
