Talk comments
First part I was wondering where he was going with the topic. It could of been taken out, but once he started to dive into code it was really evident that the presenter was really knowledgable. I left with many new ideas of what I can use on my own project.
Good talk. You guys went through the different pieces of the puzzle pretty well. One thing that I'm not really sure that was covered very well was how to actually create an app with Zend Framework. At the end of the talk I'm not sure everyone knew how to create a module to get their new app actually working.
High energy presenter, interesting topic, well done.
Good talk, lots of high level example from which to do more research.
Cool talk in API security w/ a lot of good info. You obviously know what you're talking about. Secure JSON definitely seems to be a PITA.
Good talk on event/signal programming in PHP, but the examples were run through too quickly and it was difficult to follow how the examples were following particular patterns that you were describing.
Overall, informative and good introduction to event programming.
Rob / Evan -- I enjoyed the part 1 tutorial. While I certainly didn't walk out with a firm grasp on the framework (I did not attend part 2), it did give me a good overview in terms of where to start.
The following comment pertains to the tutorial format in general:
A few people have pointed out that it would have been helpful to know development environment requirements for tutorial completion ahead of time. I mentioned this exact thing on my evaluation card.
The current tutorial flow looked something like this:
1) Pass out thumb drives
2) Copy code to machine
3) Set up vhost
4) Set up database
5) Curse because something isn't configured correctly
How great would it be if tutorial participants were instructed to click on a link (much like the elephant-hunt-snapshot) that created a my.phpcloud snapshot for the specific tutorial? Certainly some details to work out there but I think the cloud has tremendous potential for stream-lining the ZendCon tutorial format. I'm curious to hear feedback on implementing something like this.
Thanks,
Jason
