ZendCon 2010
1 - 4 Nov 2010 at Santa Clara Convention Center

This was a great session. I'm still not convinced git is for our organization, but I certainly understand it a lot better than I did.

I've had to recently try to configure a MySQL server that was just performing horribly. This was a good introduction to server tuning. The slides were packed with info, which will help with applying this in the real world.

I spent the previous night before the talk reading the DateTime documentation in preparation for the ZCE. Derick made much more sense than some of the documentation.

Showed why using Bootstrap Resources are a much better idea than modifying the bootstrap directly. Would like to see more live examples, but there was enough content to get the point across.

Best talk of the conference. I can't think of anything else to say. Great overview of the different types of technical debt and how to mitigate it. Elizabeth is a great speaker.

Felt it was way to much a sales pitch. Everything but the new Zend Server deployment and Zend's new packaging system were cast in a bad light (despite all of them having pluses and minuses on the slides). I was really hoping for some actual best practices with examples of deployment.

I get that it's ZendCon, but it really was a sales pitch. I'm generally here more for the PHP than sales. Good to see what's coming down the pipe, but nothing spectacular unless you use Zend Server paid edition.

Provided some good points, but nothing really revolutionary. Really a 30,000 foot view on getting set up for high performance. Personally I was hoping for a bit more detail, but at least it pointed people in the right directions if they've never looked at high performance before.

Chris had oodles and oodles of information which seemed to be a double edged sword, as sometimes it felt as if he raced through his presentation yet barely managed to finish on time.

The demos worked well but again I felt as if my brain was overloaded as slide after slide different concepts were introduced, I personally could not keep up.

As a PHP + OracleDB user I would love to see this presentation in a 2-3 hr format.
