While many things (Composer, PSR compliance, MVC, API layer, and test coverage) about Magento 2 will feel familiar to modern PHP developers, what better way to dig into how the framework works than by building a module? This live coding exercise demonstrates both Magento's modular architecture and its plugin system for customizing core behavior.

I had a completely different expecations of this talk, I feel abstract is misleading as this was more of a 'Intro to Magento2' and where some files are located.

My expectation was: we are going to build a plugin/module: this is how to do it. I'm not a Magento developer but was really looking forward to this talk as to get more insights how Magento built plugins/modules. Also, there was not really that much live coding, speaker was just turning on/off things in the configuration, showing how to do things in Magento using console app.
