Talk comments
Very informative on a topic that web developers should, myself included, be better familiar with.
A bit disappointed that the majority of the talk had to be a tutorial on HTTP server/browser caching just to discuss ESI.
Also, 90% of the talk was published a day or two before (if you follow @fabpot):
http://docs.symfony-reloaded.org/master/guides/cache/http.html
If you've done your research/reading, the talk didn't focus enough of ESI implementations and mostly concepts.
Agreed on long ramp up. Most developers have seen concepts of the presented modeling tips (often without know what they were called), but typically can't justify the cost-benefit trade-off.
Mentioned that Doctrine2 pretty much implements most of these patterns, but it may have been more beneficial to demo that code, since that's what top PHP devs are choosing for their ORM and comes highly-recommended over Doctrine1.2.
Overall, very knowledgeable of patterns, purposes and when to use which pattern. In the future, showing the evolution of code through improved model patterns would be most valuable.
Great delivery of an introduction to Git. Obviously knowledgeable and highly recommended to those considering Git as their SCM.
Very good talk, the most informative one of the whole conference. The code samples were well written and very helpful as a visual reference to bring the talk out of the abstract. You covered a lot of ground and you did it very well. Thank you.
Very helpful, got into some great parts of PHP 5.3. Presented well, always engaging.
A very quick walk through intro to git, Travis covered off the basic day to day requirements. His enthusiasm and passion in his talks is very refreshing and spreads virally.
I own both his books and would attend his talks again and again..very well done
It's an interesting technology, and I'll probably check it out, but in the end the talk was a sales pitch.
The product is priced based on how much data you intend to store, which I personally think is kind of rude.
It was a great talk - incredibly in depth. I'll admit that I'll probably never use 75% of the advanced cases - they're simply too complicated to manage.
Great talk from DragonBe, Awesome that I managed to put some more tricks in my PHP bag even though I use most of the tools.
Lot's of info and freat samples all with links.
Pretty good explanation of problems with existing approaches to managing objects & relations in current applications. The meat of the presentation (code) showed up in the last 5-10 slides, which ended up resembling what many developers already do, aside from UIDs for each entity.
Seeing the payoff for adopting newer patterns is huge, but most of the talk was laying the ground work which could have been shortened. Developers leaving the room still seemed unsure of what adjustments their existing code would need.
