Some great stuff in this tutorial, but things seem ill-prepared and there was too much material for the time allotted. Glad I went!

Always wanted to do "official" debugging with something like xdebug, but never took the time to install and use it. After attending sees easy enough to do.

Tons of great info! I learned a lot about software development process, something that's often overlooked in formal education, and implemented ad hoc at organizations. The php-specific tools and resources he gave were very valuable. I agree with others that more focus on technical details of clean code would be nice.

Good overview of important aspects and gotchas, but would have liked to see the material covered in more depth/detail considering the 6 hours available.

Great talk - tons of info! I wanted a little more time with the exercises though. As others said, maybe focusing on fewer design patterns on a more in-depth level would be better. I also recommend decreasing the amount of words used in the slides -- short bullet points are better than paragraphs. Overall very interesting talk though.

I really enjoyed this talk! Easily digestable, lots of great advice. Not rushed, lots of time for Q&A.

Having already started working on converting my applications from ZF1 to ZF2, I was hoping for more information about the nitty gritty details that I encountered that caused things to fail. These were barely mentioned. But I did learn about some other interesting things as to why certain changes were made between ZF1 and ZF2. So, thank you.

Very informative. I have xdebug installed but have never tried to take advantage of the additional features. Now I can.
