Great talk. Excellent examples. Clear presentation and takeaways that can be useful in improving code right away.
A reminder of a lot of small things that all developers should do while refactoring code.
The live demonstration of TDD was awesome. I was following along on my own laptop. I'm familiar with TDD but that was probably the first ever hands on experience. Due to the nature of TDD though, at one point I was getting a syntax error with my Doctrine docblock. This made it impossible to follow along, but it was still extremely valuable to watch Chris work through the process. My number one piece of advice is to be more conscious about switching to presenter mode!
Another great JMac talk!
I really enjoyed Jordi's session. It was very insightful to see the challenges that a project team faced as the project experienced explosive growth, especially for a project (Composer) that we use regularly.
Samantha's keynote was really good, and inspirational. Fun trip down memory lane as she went over the history of how ARAPNET was invented and grew into the internet we know and love/hate today.
I enjoyed Derick's talk. Even though I don't anticipate a need for writing our own extensions anytime in the near future, it was still cool to see how it was done.
It was also a fun trip down memory lane trying to remember how C works :)
As someone who has struggled with managing multiple docker containers (while not being a docker expert by any means), it was eye-opening to see docker-compose in action. Definitely going to look into that more.
Also, I concur with what Eric says. It was refreshing to see Jessica not get tripped up when a part of her demo didn't work the way it had before. Some speakers would have stopped things in their tracks, killing the flow of the talk and losing the audience, so it was a nice change to see her be able to shrug, explain the issue, and move on.
Great talk!
Great talk! Also, thanks for the copy of "The Phoenix Project"! Sitting up front because I'm half deaf pays off sometimes :)
Great presentation, content was very informative.
