Great talk touching on the human side of the dev community.
Great talk with great case studies/stories/example. Freaking out never gets you very far :)
Good talk.
Good talk.
Super important stuff for developers and dev shops. Documentation continues to be something that doesn't get near enough time spent on it, but when done properly it can really have a positive impact on adoption and many other aspects of the project.
Great talk for contractors and anyone estimating projects.
Good talk. Over the years I've come to work similarly to how Tim described his billing and negotiation and work practices, so it was great to hear I've got the best practices down!
Good fundamentals / foundation but I feel like execution of the presentation was lacking and fell apart significantly after lunch. It was clear some presenters didn't write the code examples they were presenting, and that it hadn't been rehearsed/practiced, especially when time started getting short.
When we got to the full journal class section where we were supposed to "put it all together," there was too much of a jump between the previous beginning fundamentals and that which, along with being rush really hurt the flow and ability to follow.
Overall I think the goal was too lofty for the extremely limited time we had - it would have been better to focus on a few more smaller examples of putting code together for pieces of the project instead of going from some basic form validation to a full "app" in ~7 hours.
Great intro to Behat. Drove home the idea that we need to focus on how the user experiences what we create.
Great concept and I think the problem many have is the time it took to "catch on". Perhaps a bit more of a primer and then a little trimming of "fluff" content so you can slow it down a notch and I think it would be a very cool talk.
