Laracon EU 2016
22 - 24 Aug 2016 at Sugar City

Excellent as always. Note to next Laracon: Taylor should have a two hour time slot.

I know this is a Laravel conference but as someone who doesn't use Laravel primarily, I was disappointed with this talk as the keynote, I would have expected something more along the inspirational lines. As a 2015 attendee where I know there were a lot of complaints about the talks not being technical/laravel oriented enough, I feel that this was a big overreaction to that feedback.

It also felt a bit like leftovers, considering how often the speaker mentioned he was just telling us things he didn't have time to talk about at Laracon US.

I think this talk would have had a much better place along the two tracks. I was missing the inspiring message that is usually conveyed in a keynote.

Delivered with a lot of good energy, information-packed and useful.

Good insights on how to make user stories work better. Unfortunate that it seems that bit strips, which the talker used so effectively to illustrate her user stories, is no more.

Agree with Povilas, some good points and info in the first half, although the speaker doesn't have the most engaging speaking style, but the demo was very tough to follow in the back, I could have done with more info about why and how to use TDD instead.

well-presented and insightful. Speaker was going really fast, but fortunately I had some coffee beforehand.

Very nice talk on Event Sourcing. The speaker was engaging but seemed a bit nervous which resulted in him talking very fast and his jokes falling flat because people needed a bit of time to catch up. With a bit more practice on relaxing the talking style this will be an excellent talk.

This talk really helps you understand event sourcing using examples and jokes. The speaker did speak fast and went fast through the slides, but the small slides made it good to follow.

This talk had a lot of humour which made it nice talk.

Too much of the talk was leaning towards the basic of "how to make a migration" or "how to make a seed" which seemed to be pitching at a too basic level considering the people who would attend a talk with this title. The latter half was more interesting on the scope of how you can use specific types of Seeder classes, other DB pitfalls and ways out of them. More of that would be great!

A monotonous / rushed tone of voice made it tricky to follow at times. Remember: breathe. A bit of an overuse of the term "I think" too. It's nice to hear an authoritative tone of voice, as it gives the feeling the speaker knows what they're on about.

Good talk and interesting points on the history of the TDD approach and what it means. The demo was nice to see an actual "real life" case, albeit maybe a bit too long.
