ZendCon 2011
17 - 20 Oct 2011 at Santa Clara Convention Center

Good talk, but I think you could improve one thing. Don't bring up the php pcntl extensions, without in the same sentence mentioning in the same breath: "Process Control should not be enabled within a web server environment and unexpected results may happen if any Process Control functions are used within a web server environment."

I know you are aware of this yourself, but it is a good thing to mention to a group who may now know this themselves.

I filed three issues against projects based solely on what I learned in the first hour of the tutorial. I can't ask for much more than that. It was fast paced, but there is a lot of material to cover and I think you did a great job throttling the material. Use cases were a brilliant way to demonstrate the concepts covered. Well done, Liz.

Great overview of profiling concepts and tools to get the job done. The demos and explanations were incredibly helpful. The only criticism I can offer is having your laptop named whisky made me thirsty.

Good talk, covering unfamiliar territory for most PHP devs, and even though it was advertised as having no code in it at the beginning, it would have been nice to have code/pseudoclasses to explain the differences in the event-driven patterns.

A little unpolished; presenter upgraded to the latest beta and was a little lost in the program, and built everything live, waiting for build times on each step.

This was a great presentation! As a symfony 1 user, it was a perfect intro in to Symfony2 for me. I was sitting in the front, so perhaps am not the best judge of the text size, but it seemed adequate. I know there was an issue with some code lines being cut off on the projected image, but I always assume I will be able to view it post-conference anyway for review. I appreciated the comparisons between version 1 and version 2, and am extremely excited to try out what appears to be a lighter-weight framework.

I think twig and use of Doctrine are great changes in Symfony2, and was glad they got significant coverage as both are a major departure from the previous version. I think discussion of these also aided in explaining the framework architecture.

ONLY negative was that it felt a little rushed - most of the ZendCon talks do. Almost need an extra day - talks extended to 90 minutes would make a big difference.

Thanks for a great presentation, Skoop!

Thanks Ilia, super informative and interesting.

Great presentation! I loved the coverage of all of the different options.

Great!

Great talk. I am now convinced I need to look at xhprof.
