Longhorn PHP Conference 2021
14 - 16 Oct 2021 at Holiday Inn Austin Midtown

Excellent overview and deeper dives into WCAG better practices. Loving the screen reader playbacks of all of the code samples, and the showcasing of various assistive technologies.

Also excellent job by Rachele fielding numerous questions from
the audience throughout the presentation.

Very engaging and informative session

Learned a ton of new really useful stuff about Docker / Swarm I didn't know. Security issues are one of the things PHP apps get dinged on by virtue of how they're designed. I love that this talk is putting forth a great set of bets practices for keeping our app secrets secure and users safe. Dana did an awesome job. Engaging and super knowledgeable.

I always love learning what's on the horizon and why and Sara did a phenomenal job getting us hyped. Also apropos on the call to let our voices be heard and show up.

Great talk! Loved the historical overview of PHP 7, the statistics in PHP version usage, and the overview of the new features in PHP 8.

Great talk as always! Got me excited about 8.0 and 8.1 features !!!

What an egaging, exciting, delightful fun, informative, and extremely wonky dive into the guts of PHP 8, with some excellent looks back on php5 and 7 as well. I learned about stuff in PHP 7 that I didn’t even know about! My absolute favorite in the conference so far.

live coding and great insights

The substance and the content of the presentation made a very compelling and interesting point, and overall it was a great presentation. I just have a few thoughts related to the presentation itself:
1) The "quotes" section is a little heavy to have all in one block, and it may have been more helpful to scatter the quotes throughout with commentary bridging them across relevant subject matters,
2) The discussion of mental illness and promotion of OSMH was not at all unwarranted, and I know this same struggle extremely well and advocate for the same discussion myself, but its presentation here was jarring emotionally; I wasn't prepared to jolt so abruptly from programmer quotes to discussion of suicidal ideation. It may warrant an unofficial "trigger warning" of sorts (even if that's just an interstitial slide).
3) As someone who suffers with misophonia, a very strong sensitivity to certain sounds, I would kindly point out that for me, the sounds of the can of soda being sipped were very pronounced. It may be worthwhile to consider switching to a non-carbonated drink like water when giving presentations just to avoid the tendency to smack your lips after taking a sip, as for some people, noises like that get amplified greatly mentally over their actual volume.

Very inspiring message ;-D

great as ever!
