A good talk to round off the day. Really interesting having Rob talk more about the formats of responses as it's something I often struggle with knowing what works well and it made sense to me.

When the talk started I was a little worried it wasn't going to go too far into customising Laravel but by the end I was very impressed that you made me think about how things can and probably should be handled with Service Providers.

A well planned and presented talk with a good narrative to it that showed the stages of improvement while explaining the reason for each step.

Would be good if we could get the slides for this or possible a recording of the talk, I could see it being a good guide to teach others quickly.

Having read up on 12 factor before the talk I was a little bit disappointed that I came away feeling that maybe the content didn't fit with the title and the expectations I had. The talk overall felt pretty polished though and while I didn't agree with some of the points like keeping the vendor folder in source control I did like that you backed it up with a good explanation for it.

I would suggest maybe breaking down quickly the different steps and where people can read about it further and then talk about the separate parts that relate more to Laravel as it felt a bit packed in as a talk.

While I agree with others the content was a beginner level, I know that other members of my team sat through not knowing about notifications and found the talk really good. You were a very engaging character which made the talk easy to listen to even if the content wasn't anything new.

I will say the font uses on the slides could have been a little better. I find san serif fonts on slides a bit jarring to read.

This was my favourite talk of the day. It was reassuring to hear a story of a successful migration from one framework to Laravel. I've had to look at migrations of legacy code before and while I would have approached it in a similar way there were questions of how authentication or sessions might work so hearing your example gives me a solid basis should I need have to again.

The positives here was that it did bring new things to me and I feel I'm quite seasoned at using Laravel's IoC, although it took a bit of time to get there. I think it was hard to balance the scope of going from the most basic levels of the IoC to showing off more advance tricks. It might be better to focus on a smaller area talking only about the advanced subjects. I'm not sure if it was only useful talking about the PSR standards although they are useful to know. Overall it felt like it needed a narrative to thread it's way through the whole talk.

Also for a small note, the slides where code was shown were a black background with white text which I found harder to read personally but I'm not sure how many would be affected by that.

A really good talk and well presented. Was a shame the content didn't fit the time slot, could have easily listened for longer.

One of my favourite talks of the day! Such a calm and focussed talk - I could listen to Franz talk all day! Can you come and teach me everything you know for a week? That would be AWESOME

A lot of this was quite complex for my understanding, but that is just because of my skill level. Interchanging describing closures vs anonymous functions created unnecessary complexity. However I will go through the slides again to refresh my mind on the subject and will also watch Matt Stauffers talk again, which will hopefully get me going with this subject. Thank you for the insight! Keep up the good work! ??

Good sense of humour! Clear, well set out talk, made me realise that with API’s the basics are so important! Totally agree with the handling of errors and messages is super important. Thanks for enlightening me!
