Well done ! A lot of hints to useful tools I heard about but didn't found a reason to really start using !

Thank you !
Luca

Great session/slides !
I am searching a way to distribute in an easy way my application, but I fear I won't be able to use PHAR because of security... maybe I'll drop an email to undestand more !

By now, 5 stars well deserved !
Luca

Very interesting !
Thanks for github contributions... would it be possible to get the slides ? For my poor colleagues who were at the office while I was there !

Thanks again,
Luca

Being a 101 session, it was very detailed ! I needed to download slides and read them again before fully understanding how useful they really were ! Think I will print them and keep them on my desk...

Thanks Ligaya !

Sebastian, I really enjoyed your talk on PHPUnit Best Practices. This was probably the one session I was most looking forward to at ZendCon and it certainly did not disappoint. Thanks!

Wonderful talk! Ralph has certainly brought Zend_Db a long way. And his presentation was an effective way to describe the new features. My only suggestion is that code samples on slides need to be larger and more readable.

Wow, apparently I have a completely different opinion on this topic than others here. I admit I am nowhere near as good of a developer as Matther, but while I really liked the talk and the discussion, I disagree that this is how you should build PHP apps. When Matthew said something like: "If it looks like JAVA and .NET that's because this is the way good OOO looks" I think I agree. However, PHP wasn't originally built to be an OOO language, rather OOO has been bolted on. When you add typehints and layers of interfaces it no longer acts like a dynamic language. Also, while I am not saying JAVA and .NET are good languages for the web (the're not), I do think that any PHP developer than prefers to code this way should move to be .NET and Java developer because it would be more lucrative for the developer.

In addition, if this style of programming becomes more and more prevalent in PHP it will continue to bleed web market share to Python and Ruby. This is just my opinion, and likely an ignorant one at that.

Lorna is a superb presenter. Very engaging and entertaining. I can't wait to get upgraded to 5.4. A large portion of my legacy code is going to take some work though because of the use of call_time_pass_reference.

You are awesome. The bootcamp was quite helpful. You gave some great advice that was spot-on with how the actual test was structured. I passed in only 40 minutes.

Thanks so much!
