ZendCon 2013
7 - 10 Oct 2013 at Santa Clara, CA Convention Center

Excellent talk, was a great learning experience.

Ben was the best speaker out there, enjoyed all his sessions.

Great content and presentation. I appreciated the real-world use cases shared and how multiple solutions were presented for various topics (e.g., load balancing). It seemed you were a little nervous during the beginning of the presentation, but more comfortable towards the end. I also thought it would have helped if you sounded a little more excited. Very good overall though.

This was a great presentation with valuable content. Eli has a fun and comfortable presentation style that keeps you engaged and entertained, even a 8AM. :-)

I thought this was a great talk and did a wonderful job at highlighting the general workflow of deploying to PaaS in general and highlighting the differences between them in a fairly biased why. Nice work, and thanks for the time spent researching.

Excellent content and delivery, and the interweaving of anecdotes and education was seamless.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the slides did leave adequate time at the end for questions, which can allow the audience to bring up relevant API topics not covered in the slides themselves. Re: Espen's comment above, I think those are good subjects to bring up (as talking points) even if the audience doesn't think to ask about them.

Glad I finally got a chance to see Ben deliver this in person.

Filed under "should have been a keynote".

Very informative presentation that started from the essential basics and history before wrapping up with high-level PHP APIs. I'll agree with above requests for more code examples. There were a handful in the middle of the deck, but this is a subject where folks are probably going to go back and refer to your slide deck for reference.

Also, while the entire slide deck had a consistent theme, many of the code examples looked to be images captured from an editor (with various styles). Those can probably be tidied up or changed to actual formatted text.

Very solid content and excellent delivery. Marco was able to talk through the slides fluidly and move them along without having to glance back at each new slide and read from it.

My only complaint is that my own Doctrine presentation on the next day followed nearly the same outline :)

Great session! I have already used a number of tips I have learned from it at work. I am now noticing the problematic areas I would have overlooked otherwise. Thank you!
