Good to hear your view on some of the slides and what you would do differently. I'm going to have a good look at your theme. Really enjoyed the French curry, I'm still telling people about those nann breads :-) mmmmm @Peter I've found there's a balance between jobs where the tools are great (e.g symfony!) and working at a more high profile company like the BBC. It was a decision based on moving my career forward - must be a turning 30 thing! (I still do a lot of symfony dev weekends) Take it easy, John Hi Tom,

Great notes! Good to hear your view on some of the slides and what you would do differently. I’m going to have a good look at your theme.

@Peter I’ve found there’s a balance between jobs where the tools are great (e.g symfony!) and working at a more high profile company like the BBC. It was a decision based on moving my career forward – must be a turning 30 thing! (I still do a lot of symfony dev weekends)

Take it easy,
John

He got a good gig with that requirement, and it's not like they want him to write ASP (shudder) Peter: job requirement.

The most interesting thing (I think) was that he was not really addressing issues of a backend as an administration feature for websites moderators etc, but he much rather meant the admin generator as a effective means for providing organisations with customised software tools for their staff to perform their work (-flows), as an at last(!) replacement for their self-made excels and MS access solutions that those staff often have developed themselves.
