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

Thanks to those involved in making this second session happen. I attended both of these knowing Apigility was _the_ product to come out of this year's Zendcon.

Hey, wow! The presenter hilighted many third-tier solutions and gave real life the front seat in this been-there-done-that retrospective.

Tight. All the concepts were solid and well presented and correct. Apart from making half the room look like idiots for not knowing you can compile PHP without session support (is Ilia a PHP-GTK coder?) this php-focused talk was waterproof.

I imagine this was like CES if it was held on one presenters desk. More electronics were tossed around in this presentation than an Asiana flight.

I didn't really get it. I guess I'm not that kind of developer.

Talk bullet points:

* What the hell is nginx? Oh, it's a web server.
* Here's how to configure it
* Here's more configuration
* Here's more configuration
* And you can see how Evan's stuff _just works_

What I learned:
* Oh, my host is probably using this since my .htaccess doesn't work

I attended this talk because I wanted to watch Marco present. Everywhere I go in php-land Marco has already been there and is probably a team-member-and-commiter.

The material was presented clearly, Marco took his time to make sure his audience was following along, and showed enterprise-ready examples.

This speaker announced how he didn't like presenting (three times previously) before his presentation. It's too bad this wasn't baseball.

YIELD it's a new keyword and it's trickery and a cool way to handle large iterations. This was what I learned from this talk.

This opening talk was a great way to whet our appetite for the many talks about Apigility.

A very helpful talk on composer. Thanks for making time for this talk with all the other projects you're ... composing :)
