Brad did an awesome job with his presentation. It was both informative and funny, something that's not easy to pull off. -

I'm a Zend Framework guy and always have been. Daniel's presentation has put Symfony2 on my *must* try list.

Hate that I missed it. I made the 80 mile round trip up there but Autozone would not allow use of it's parking. I just could not leave my brand new motorcycle on the streets of Memphis so I had to bail and head back to Fayette county. Next time I'll know to drive my truck. Thanks any way for setting up things like this. -
I enjoyed it. Good presentation.
-
The consultant was nice, and the goodies were nice too. I appreciate the opportunity to network with so many like-minded people. -
very informastional, nicely presented, and the developers and security personal got netiher the blame or perfered treatment.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the talk about TDD in PHP. There's lots of information on TDD in other languages online; it was good to have a discussion about TDD focusing on PHP, and Jeremy did a great job of it.

This meeting was a small step toward open source development in Memphis, but it was a giant leap forward for Memphis technology groups. Contributing to Github projects is a new idea for Memphis. Some audience members needed more system preparation (installing a LAMP stack, installing Git, joining Github, or even, installing a more-cooperative OS) to prepare for this. Prepping a workstation can take a couple of hours by itself. I was without a workstation. The Chess Center has workstations with 1080p monitors for meeting use; next time we should put stations in the room to make activities easier to follow. The central projector is great, but it is not quite enough. All that said, some users got through the steps of cloning the project and retrieving and editing files. I think this was the primary objective of the presentation, as what someone does from there on a project is up to the individual contributor. This as a successful experiment overall. -
It got me involved more, and that's exactly what I need. I would have liked to have delved into some of the code at the meeting.
-
Great opportunity to meet some bright individuals. I did not bring my laptop which was a mistake. -
Really enjoyed talking with the attendees, but I was a little disappointed that we didn't see more of the frapi project. I think it would've been cool to get a bit more of an overview of the project in the slides, and see some examples showing how it can be used... and *then* jump into setting it up and playing with it. Seems like a number of attendees weren't quite prepared, or ready jump into the workshop. I didn't fork the project beforehand either, so shame on me! ;) Overall good experience!

I really appreciated the exposure to new tools. I heard from some members that they would like more nitty gritty details next time. It would also be good to see more ways in which each member can implement the new things we are all learning...
-
Most of the discussion was a little over my head, but I gained some insight on version control and will now start to think about it when I redevelop some of my projects. Thanks

Good meeting, new faces and old ones! __ Man Jeremy are you getting old! Even a birthday cake! Linda said she loved it too!— Greg

I really enjoyed this meetup! it was in a very nice and related place (Emerge / TN St and GE Patterson / Calhoun). There were a lot of very nice and well informed people there asking very pertinent questions. Everyone was friendly and it was enjoyable! :)

Great presentation

Paul's presentation on benchmarking was excellent. My big takeaway was his point about benchmarking results -- results should always be considered relative rather than absolute. I feel confident that I'll be much more objective when I'm reading benchmark results, either in blog posts, marketing, or when benchmarking my own hardware and applications.
-
Great meeting and very informative!
-
I'm not really a PHP developer, but I learned some interesting and useful concepts today, explained in a understandable geek tongue. -

very informative. quite helpful.

Other than the fact that I think only one guy was able to follow the speaker "hands-on" - and it wasn't me, the content was pretty good. I would like that same speaker to come back again and go over more details. We were only able to touch the surface, and the surface was pretty wide. I would also like to learn about competitor frameworks that can be compared and contrasted to Symfony2. Also, I would like to know how Symfony2 took many things from the Java Spring framework. Perhaps some of this will have to be my own research, but also it would be nice to share with the group.
-
Good intro to php frameworks, allowing me to compare with my experience in RoR.
-
Ryan knocked it out of the park last night. I learned a lot about Symfony2, and I've got tons of great sample code and "homework." We were lucky to have Ryan visit. Thanks, man!
-
I learned a few things, got to hang out with highly skilled developers, make a few new connections, and eat free pizza... what else could you want? Ryan Weaver gave an excellent presentation this week on symfony2.
