Talk comments
An excellent talk on encryption and how to properly implement it by a speaker who clearly knows his subject inside and out.
Not only is Ed clearly an expert on the subject, but he has the gift of making a very technical topic light and enjoyable to learn about. There were many laughs from myself and others along the way.
Thanks!
Ilia did a great job explaining a very broad subject of web security. Not only was it in-depth yet easy to understand (a very difficult balance to achieve), but it was honestly entertaining.
I left with a ton of great notes and more prepared to protect my clients.
My only disappointment was that I didn't get to see Ilia hack a site! ;-)
I really enjoyed the talk. As someone who has never used Magento, I feel that I now have a leg up on beginning to learn Magento 2.
The live code technical difficulties (which will inevitably happen to any speaker doing them!) were actually useful in showing how to debug a Mage installation and some of the things to look for when encountering them. The technical issues were handled with the grace and patience of someone who clearly understands the library.
Thanks!
If Samantha wanted to do a 3 hour presentation on the History of computing, I would be just as enthralled and engaged with the content as I was in her 60 minute talk!
She did a phenomenal job of engaging the audience, and gave really great insight into the history of computing and programming languages.
I wish it was a longer talk!
It was a good beginner level overview of what APIs are and how they are called, however, I wish there were some applicable examples from a PHP perspective. I didn't mind that it was a plug for cisco's API service, I just wish the examples, even the slides, had showed what to do with the returned JSON and/or XML in php.
Using Postman to test API calls was a valuable nugget from this talk!
Stephanie is ultra funny and engaging. She has a wonderful story to share and connects it to a topic central to any workplace. Great keynote speaker!
Tessa's presentation was a great overview of REST APIs. I was hoping for something more advanced, but I think that was more on my end for assuming target audience than hers.
The talk was enjoyable and presented some interesting stats and figures about recent breaches. Would have liked to learned a bit more about intrusion detection.
The talk sampled well the xdebug functions.
Elliott was able to clearly share his knowledge on session and password security in a fun and light-hearted way complete with examples and his own live demo on his website for the audience to play with (learn from) later on.
Not only informative but entertaining, it certainly seems like Elliott enjoys speaking as much as he is skilled at it.
Thanks!
