Lone Star PHP 2015

Some really excellent and useful information here for open source package involvement - waiting for the slides to go back over for some checklists...

What I'd love to see added - how does this also apply to private packages and usage?

react from the fire hose. intense. a lot was covered in a short period of time (after lunch no less) with enough information and gotcha warnings to get you going with react

spoke way too fast. the mic was too loud. please respect your audience and refrain from using profanity. lacking details... your talking examples were fine, but support it more detailed slides.

Good info.

Absolutely amazing talk. Learned a ton about myself in an extremely short amount of time. I learned that I'm a mix of visual, logical, and audial. Thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.
It gave legitimate theory on how people learn, how to teach others, how to help retain, and how to help others implement. (wasn't logged in for the first comment)

The topic was very interesting, but the presenter was definitely showing a lot of political bias. Presenter needs to realize that New York and Texas are very different environments, and not everyone here is going to relate to that, and it was a huge turn off to keep hearing a leftist talking point about "being shot for wearing a hoodie". I suspect the same would happen if you went to New York and talked about concealed carry or religious liberty as if everyone there was on the same page as the typical conservative from Texas.
This is a tech conference, with people from all over the world. It's fine, even great, that we can all have different life experiences, and still get a lot out of the technical stuff.

Would have enjoyed hearing more about how WE could actually do something to make a difference in our own communities as well.

My team attended at least two API talks last year before starting to work on our own API in the past few months, and I was very pleased to see we have been doing it "the right way". I personally didn't get much out of this talk because it wasn't new information, but it was highly entertaining.

Phil, please slow down a little when speaking. Us Americans can't all understand you easily, and the non-americans on my team probably had an even harder time.

So motivating and inspiring. It definitely helped me change my way of looking at my coworkers and totally inspired me to get even more involved in the community.
Totally deserved the standing ovation it got :)

This talk was excellent, I got a lot out of it. My only suggestion is maybe to speed up the explanation about the different levels of logging (info, alert, etc), as it felt a little long and redundant there. That probably could have been cut in half.
Otherwise very very good :)

Great introduction to these tools, I can't wait to introduce some of these into our project!
