Lone Star PHP 2016
7 - 9 Apr 2016 at Addison Conference Center

Informative talk, cut a little short. Lot of information packed in. Would have liked a break or change in delivery to help engagement and gather my thoughts.

Very fun and informative talk. Awesomely useful information.

Joseph's a very good speaker, and he laid out the whole concept and implementation of OAuth2 in a very understandable way. I appreciated his use of examples breaking it down into concepts that beginners to pros could understand.

I found this talk very helpful. I had heard a little bit about unit testing but this was perfect to be able to understand how it works. I appreciate it when speakers demo their code, and David showed us how to run tests and get them to fail, pass, and then how you refactor the code.

I found this talk very helpful! The use of examples and how he laid out the 4 design patterns were very helpful! Joseph is a great speaker and easy to follow.

I left this talk with great ideas on how I can implement the Design Patterns in my code.

A very important topic, and all in all I found the presentation interesting. However, I have two main suggestions. One is quite easy to fix. The code examples in the slides were very difficult to read because of the text size and color scheme. I would have prefered larger text, and (for a projector) a dark-on-light color scheme, rather than a pastel-on-dark.

The second suggestion is to have some more energy on stage. Yes, this is a bit of a fuzzy suggestion, but it makes it easier to pay attention, understand and remember what is being said.

SOLID :-) but seriously, good talk. I especially liked the discussion around working through legacy projects to bring them up to domain projects. I think that's a thing that hits most of us as we often end up in these situations as developers.

This was excellent. I appreciated the explanation of the concepts as well as the practical examples of how they would be done.

I agree with some of the previous concerns. I also felt like the talk had a little too much repetition, and it moved a little slow for my liking. Having said that, your presentation skills are great and you're a very energetic speaker, so you can certainly do this. Keep trying!!!
