ConFoo 2013

Great overview of the integration of testing in PHP applications and a nice look at how the SOLID principles could be used to make things a bit more testable, but a "real world" kind of refactored example might have been helpful to drive the point home. The sample code was good, but seemed disconnected.

The talk and speaker were good, but due to the equipment, it was very difficult to see some of what was going on unless you were in the first few rows. Not much the presenter could do with that, but the smallish JMeter UI didn't help.

It was an interesting introductory level talk, but I was hoping for something a bit more about encouraging team members and tactics for motivating good software development in an agile group. Felt like a lot of time was spent talking about the processes they follow to do their job and not as much on the tips side.

The audience participation was interesting, but it tended to drag on a bit too long a few times and stall out the momentum of the session.

I loved the focus on automating everything.

Nice presentation. Very clear.

Words like "fuck" and "shit" are not necessary to engage an audience.

Very informative, useful and knowledgeable presentation. Best of the conference at this point.

Really great overview. Favourite talk so far.

Good description of some of the problems with building applications that run in legacy browsers. I would have liked more details on the solutions and greater depth into the user impacts. Overall though, this was an engaging and informative talk.

Good talk overall.

A bit too deep and technical - would have helped with bit of intro e.g. with coffeescript, backbone.js code (basic syntax).
