Talk comments

Good talk. I've been slowing coming around to ZF2 over the last year, from the position that it would be impossible to port our ZF1 application to beginning to see how it might actually be done.

He made a good case for his architecture, and we'll be looking at how to best implement it (as well as how practical it would be for our team).

Some aspects of the talk were quite interesting. I didn't know about the code patterns that complement agile development.

I liked the board approach taken. I hadn't heard of Foundation before, but I learned that it might be a good fit for my next project. I had also looked at Bootstrap before, but was lost trying to figure out how I could use / adapt it to my site.

Interesting topic, but I feel like it is something that we've all heard before (but aren't doing).

I loved the ideas presented in the talk. I felt like I knew how to take the knowledge and apply it right away. I liked the focus on setting a metric and testing your optimizations to know what is actually helpful and worth your time.

I liked getting the whole run down on what Jenkins could do, as well as learning about a large variety of tools that would be useful to run on my code. I felt like there wasn't quite enough depth on the production portion. It wasn't until the end of the talk that I realized why they were fussing about with RPMs.

It was an interesting talk which made me more aware of the shortcomings of PHP. I think people get frustrated with PHP when it doesn't behave the way they would expect it to. Hopefully knowing that certain number types behave bizarrely will help me when I'm desperately debugging strange behavior.

I had a hard time connecting to the talk. Everything seemed so abstract, like he didn't want to give away exactly what you could do with this technology, or that it isn't quite ready yet and was hoping to inspire us to take the next step.

This keynote was the most interesting and engaging (and most fun) of the week. Thank you for telling it.
