This was an awesome presentation and demo of deploying an app with FrankenPHP. I do echo feedback from others that more depth would've been great, but would recommend this talk to anyone who deploys PHP web applications. The live demo was quite ambitious but went smoothly, I was sincerely impressed!
Great talk! I think the only thing I'd add would be more real-world examples, but I certainly learned some things that will improve my work.
Very interesting and informative to better understand the current AI landscape, implementation projects, and uses. This was a great panel to hold during the conference.
Well presented (as always by Josh), engaging, interesting, entertaining, and educating - everything you could ask for from a tech talk!
I really enjoyed a (mostly) hype-free discussion of what ML is and what it can do for me. I really appreciated the talk of wind farms and the various outputs that ML can help operators monitor for deviations from the mean.
As an almost completely backend developer, I never really thought that some of the apps I've built could be (or should be) changed into PWAs, but now I'm starting to think that even just the read-only functionality of some of them would be useful in an offline context. Definitely going to be playing with this a bit in the future, and the game Lemon mentioned (Service Workies) is still in one of my post-conference to-do tabs.
Now I'm looking through my codebase for more things to convert to value objects. They seem like a great way to take the type safety of scalar objects one step further. The talk would certainly benefit for more non-age-related examples.
I'd love to see some examples added for what some of the attacks look like and why they're dangerous. Security is a pretty wide topic, so I know it'd be difficult to dig into anything to give the talk more depth to build on its breadth.
Solid talk about why to use event sourcing, though I think some of the different terminology used in the two different example libraries detracted a bit from the message. That being said, I'm starting to grok the *why* of event sourcing, and think I've now drank the name brand flavored sugar water that I'll want to use it on anything in the future that I build where there's even the slightest possibility of wanting a history of changes to an object in addition to the object's current state.
Probably the talk I learned the most from!
This was a brilliant talk and primer on writing reliable PHP extensions in Rust. The pacing was good for me as a C/Rust novice, and I feel like the content would be applicable to someone beginning to write extensions in C as well as Rust. Really wish I had the slides to refer to afterwards though, didn't quite note everything I wanted to. Thanks for the talk!
