Clear explanation, give some clarity on how and why some wierd stuff sometimes cames. Even if I know a lot on this, I still discover new stuff. it was clear. thanks
A great talk about Time and Timezones. The quiz at the start was a nice touch. The PHP Date library is great to work with and Derick explained well how it will interpreted input. Great talk and thanks for the great work Derick. A little advice. If you start drinking coffee, not minutes before the talk and no three cups at once ;)
The only real downside to this talk was the fact that I couldn’t keep up with my notes. So many knowledge bombs were shared in this great talk. The quiz was also a really nice touch.
I expected to hear nothing new, just picked the talk because Derick is a good speaker. However, I heard a lot of new things. Nothing spectacular, just a lot of gotcha's, emphasizing what we all know: don't roll your own, just use DateTime and DateInterval.
