Talk comments
You presented well. I liked the use of Fizz Buzz in your examples.
I think what you covered might work better in a shorter (lighting) talk, or it could be improved maybe by broadening it a bit more, talking about other related design patterns, strategy pattern, service locator, etc.
I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Excellent talk on the different types of dependency injection, how to do it, and tips on managing it. Examples were clear and explained the problems and solutions clearly.
Great talk, explaining the concept of DI in a framework agnostic way.
Being really an introduction to the concept, i think some things that seem obvious for people used to DI should be explicitly explained. (Testing, delaying instantiation of objects to when they are actually needed.)
enjoyed the talk, showing how to use handy little tools to simplify developer life.
Great presentation!
Namespaces explained pretty thoroughly. I like the humor and invited interaction. I'm now a little less timid when approaching namespaces. Looking forward to using composer.
Interesting talk. Gave a nice overview of the concept. I would have liked to have heard more about why I shouldn't use a service locator, and how dependency injection would benefit unit testing.
Jeff's talk clarified a lot of questions I've had about using dependency injection within a project, and he covered some other concepts I'd heard about (dependency inversion, dependency injection container, service locator) but haven't yet had the opportunity to explore in my day-to-day work. His code examples were enlightening and very helpful in illustrating the concepts. I have a fond appreciation for presenters who take the time to walk through a refactoring example to illustrate how to get to the desired result, and this presentation handled that very well. Great talk.
I appreciated the code samples Jeremy provided early in the talk, and later when talking about code complexity. These examples helped reinforce the presented concepts and provided the attendee with something to think back on when returning to coding projects. The section on tools was most valuable for the resource provided - http://phpqatools.com, and provided an overview of what they each do. Certainly, each of those tools could be topics for their own presentation, so the primary value is knowing that they exist.
Overall, really nice job.
Very nice overview of the API tools currently available. I particularly liked the live demos - Tim was quite lucky with his internet connectivity, and pulled them off without a hiccup!
