Reads like a good microservice architecture strategy guide. A lot of of info to go through in the short time of the talk, but had good list of pitfalls to look out for. Interesting to hear about microservices in a real world situation.

As someone who has had "try tdd" on my todo list for years now, this was a fantastic talk. I might actually even do it.

Great talk. I'm happy that Viraj attempted the live demo approach. I think it worked well and he was able to keep the audience engaged. I also really liked that he approached TDD from the perspective of integration tests and connected TDD techniques to a concrete and relatable example.

Good talk, with a successful live demo. A practical walkthrough, with several good tidbits to make it useful for the more experienced as well.

A fun an interesting talk with a good live demo, about how to approach TDD to create the full stack of your application.

A well paced talk with good flow from past, to present and future. I enjoyed learning about the challenges that the core team face when thinking about maintaining a large open source project, and how their choices will impact their users.

Quite an interesting talk, but it did feel like the bulk of the talk was covering the learning styles. Would have been nice to include a shout out to phpmentoring.org

I enjoyed the concept of this talk and the idea behind it, but I felt it dragged a little. Could be made a little more succinct for my liking.

I liked Cal's talk. I think he presented a bunch of great ways that people can become involved in a project without asking them to run a project. The musician analogy translated really well to the various roles in open source and made it easy to understand the opportunities/positions Cal was speaking about.

I enjoyed Heather's talk. She had great content and a great familiarity with her subject matter. I liked how she went beyond an overview of learning styles and gave useful advice on how to teach adults, and the benefits of being a mentor.
