ZendCon 2011

Great talk Juozas, I was looking forward to a more basic talk which is what I thought I was signing up for. It went into a bit more, and the Q/A throughout was nice.

Thanks!

I like the topic and you certainly know what you are talking about. I am sure the next iteration will flow more naturally.

I was surprised you didn't talk more about javascript. It is an event driven model that most PHP devs should be familiar with.

Good topic! Nice to have something a bit different too. I agree with one of the other comments that having a few more visuals to illustrate some of the differences between the patterns would be helpful.

Really great presentation! I've had Redis on my radar for a bit to look into, and this presentation was a good starting point. It was helpful by focusing in the first part on the different data types available as a distinguishing point about Redis too.

I downloaded Redis from the website (2.4.1) during the talk compiled it and tried it out just a bit. Looks pretty flexible -- the source looks pretty clean too. Looking forward to trying this out some more.

A refreshing topic, as you admitted, rather pre-mature in PHP world. I enjoyed the presentation a lot.

It was hard to follow, as you've covered a lot of topics - some diagrams explaining differences between the design patterns and lib implementations would have been useful. Everyone likes pictures, even for advanced topics :)

Good topic. Too bad there is no real examples of good php libs out there. I would not use twisted as a good example of event driven libs. I would say that it sounds like python is still a better option than PHP based upon this talk for middle tier apps.

I felt the font of the presentations was hard to read... The callout popups to zoom in on the code helped, but I think using a live text editor with large fonts which you could scroll through the code would have been better, since we could have viewed all of the code without needing an entire document visible on the screen at the same time.

The screenshots could have been bigger (there was a lot of black "whitespace" around the screenshots). Code sample popups were cut off most of the time (perhaps in future presentations keep screenshots away from the margins due to projector inconsistencies?)

I think having us install Symfony2 and run through it while you present would have made the material 'click' better. Juozas Kaziukėnas did an excellent job with this for the Doctrine2 presentation this morning.

A lot of the talk was about Doctrine2 and Twig, and I feel it took time away from the core Symfony2 coverage. (An app you build using Symfony2 doesn't need Twig or Doctrine2).

I do like that you covered an application you built using Symfony2 and how you showed us the different types of components of the framework as they were used in your application. This was beneficial as we could see both the code used to build the app and we saw the resulting interface of the app.

Lots of great ideas, but too much "has anyone ever used X? No one? A few people?" Your pacing seemed a bit off as you had to mess with your laptop.

Slideshare is so damn slow. Will post the link here ASAP

Nice presentation. I was married to Memcache but after this presentation I am now considering a divorce.
