Talk comments

Talk a little louder, be more certain of what you're talking about.
You have the expertise, show it!!

great talk, although i had hoped to get a more into deep view of symfony. We just scratched the surface but that does not mean it was not good. just for myself not what i had hoped for.

We got some technical issues, but the subject is great and covered in a passionate way.
Maybe you should put all the files on GitHub for your next talk so we can more easily interact when some files are missing !

Great Tutorial, I was a bit afraid by the subject, and now I feel like a pro (and it was helpful for my afternoon session about Continuous Delivery) !

We ran out of time, but I still enjoyed typing, getting errors and fixing them with the help of Daniel, maybe next time you should reduce the files though (no mysql and no composer for example).

Thanks

It was a good talk with a very clear english ... good point for french people who doesn't speak fluently ;)
I wish we could go a little further and introduce more complex stuffs.

Congrats guys, that was a very good talk !
I wish we could have the time to practice a little more during the session, but obviously 3 hours was not enough to cover the whole subject.
Sometimes it was hard to follow (i don't speak fluently english), because Evan speaks very fast, and Rob a little softly ;)
But that's ok, I catched the most important things.

Interesting topic and very prepared speaker that was able to manage probably too many problems during the presentation: alone vs more than 20 attendees with different OS issues to solve only in the setup process.

I can only suggest to have always a very up to date box to distribute and be sure it works with latests versions of tools that most probably a lot of attendees don't know at all.

Mike was very attentive and available to look and solve issue encountered by attendees.

All in all a good overview to understand the advantages of using such tools to automate creation and provisioning of virtual machines.

I'd have spent more time in the beginning explaining some cases and problems that would push a team to adopt Vagrant/Puppet (beginners most probably had hard times to understand why to do that).

I agree with previous comment: maybe preparing an incremental configuration using tags in git (so you can always proceed by steps) would have let you more time to talk and explain what was going on.

Despite of the big number of attendees (for this kind of workshop) Daniel were able to assist everyone in the process of setting up the environment. Maybe organiser should limit at some point the available tickets for the single workshop?

great talk! It was a little fast so if i encounter a problem in an exercise i had a hard time to keep up. On the other hand it was really getting into the deep of varnish and not just scratching the surface.

Some feedback:

* Too much typing - why not just copying the configuration files so we have enough time to actually test them?
* Never reached the goal of building our own development environment
* Could have been a little more targeted to beginners (e.g. explain what provisioning really means)

Otherwise it was a good workshop. Daniel also was very attentive to attendees' problems. Thanks for doing it!
