I echo the above statements....what I got out of it is "a lot of people are disagreeing about codecs, and we're still waiting for browsers to catch up." Would have been more interested in further discussion on new semantic tags, and what some people are doing with HTML5 now, as well as what we have to look forward to.
Agreed with the previous post, json is preferable for everything.
Thanks for the presentation
Interesting. thanks
Intéressant de voir une présentation "post buzz" de l'AOP
Merci, très intéressant
Nice job showing some actually working examples. It felt like the whole room finally "got it" once you showed the blog example.
It was interesting when you started a tangent about not writing web apps in node.js. The whole room kind of held their breath hinging on your next few words to see what you'd say. Many PHP devs I've talked to feel threatened by the resurgence of JavaScript because it feels so different to what they're used to with PHP. That tangent might make a nice permanent addition to your talk when tailoring it for PHP developers.
Only caught the tail-end of the talk, but I especially liked the "Be prepared to fail" aspect, and giving points on how to cut your losses when things do go wrong. You're right to turn people to the Ruby community for how to grow software with TDD.
Nice talk and great slides
great talk. Thought it was a good balance between code and concept. Mostly I am just excited about Backbone so I appreciate the intro. Finally I feel like web is moving to true MVC with javascript frontends
Fabulous talk, laid a nice groundwork for how to really advance as a PHP developer (and how to not to be so stuck on a single language). Loved the statement that being a web developer is more about passion than it is about doing a job.
