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

Very ambitious tutorial. I enjoyed it a lot. The only improvement I'd suggest would be to consider pulling some of the lesser used or easily implemented patterns. Problems with the editor aside, you guys really flew through a lot of information. It would have been nice to cover fewer of the more heavily used patterns (Abstract Factory, Mapper, Decorator, and a couple of others) in more detail rather than skimming the surface of a lot of patterns.

Overall, though, it was great.

Good talk Michelangelo. You might want to amp up you mic a little. Hard to hear from the back.

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately in this case, Matthew had some unexpected circumstances and was unable to give this workshop. I did my best to prepare a quality presentation and exercises given the very short notice I was giving. Under normal circumstances, I would have had more time to put together a more concrete, structured, and rehearsed plan for the workshop.

Great info and willingness to answer questions. Many thanks.

Good talk!

- Dedicated a fair amount of time to SCL which is not yet released, probably more relevant when people can actually use it.
- Slightly clearer transition between the different caching topics at the start of the talk would be nice (when taking notes or being slightly distracted, it's good to get a pointer that we're now talking about something else)
- "Nginx generally scales better than Varnish" needs to be explained - "scales better" in what way? Req/s? Flexibility?

All in all a great talk!

Good presentation, like the presenter, would really like it though if all the presenters came better prepared. It doesn't seem like anyone even does a walk through of their presentation before it is given. It diminishes the value we should be getting out of the course.

Great talk! Michelangelo provided great information about the processes and tools that teams can use to improve the quality of their projects. I found some of the details about the tools (especially the PHPDepend metrics) to be especially helpful.

Nice job.

Good talk about improving quality of php projects. I would have expected a little more hands-on for a tutorial rather than a 2.5 hour talk, but there was a lot of good information. Thank you.

Very thorough discussion of important caching topics. I really enjoyed it. I also felt like you were very helpful in your question answering. It would've been fun to see which big sites aren't doing favicon's correctly! I look forward to hearing more from you in the future
