ZendCon 2015
19 - 22 Oct 2015 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

Lots of good info, but not sure the beginner label was quite right, might be content overload for beginners during the password hashing section. Timing was good so expanding or slowing down the password section may mean cutting other content, but it may also depend on the audience. Content was delivered well and enjoyed the meme slides to break up the sections of the talk.

This was a good talk, very engaging and informative and useful, but I was not expecting the meat of it to be strict types and scalar typehints. I was expecting either new ways to use PHP 7 to find more errors in your code (possibly writing code or building new tools). Part of it is on me, expecting more CS heavy, academic sort of talk especially after seeing other talks like Functional Programming in PHP.

All this being said, I really did enjoy the talk, it was very well done and well delivered (but the volume changes from speaking excitedly to booming/yelling were rough this early). I think you may have gotten a larger audience with a clearer description or title as well. Lots of people are interested in the new PHP 7 features and would likely have attended.

Offered nothing that searching "php debugging tools" with Google couldn't tell me in a fraction of the time. I was hoping the presentation would show me things like how to set up xDebug or Zend Debugger to work with ZF or Symfony.

One of the best talks at the conference. Really interesting subject, great examples and a good morning exercise

I likes this talk alot. No specific tools to use when debugging (those kind of talks more often than not makes me fall asleep) but higher level concepts of how to tackle a bug hunt.

Talk was OK.

Title was a bit misleading. I thought it would be about metaprogramming. Instead it was pretty much "you should typehint things (and here's why)". Pretty beginner stuff.

The jokes were appreciated (even if we didn't laugh) but the raised voice get-this-into-your-head stuff didn't jive with me first thing in the morning. The fake-surprised stuff when you "noticed" the scalar type hinting -- I guess it's cute if we hadn't seen it before, but almost insulting to someone who has.

I liked the distinction between the various meanings of "type system".

The point about sum_square always being positive is interesting, but I don't think you mentioned any static analysis tool that could take advantage of that. There's no way for us to document that the return value is non-negative.

Good talk, some topics will be usefull

Good talk, hit many topics and informative.

Can you submit the slides?

Best talk of zendcon 2015!
