Madison PHP Conference 2018
2 - 3 Nov 2018 at Marriott Madison West

Good high-level overview of the principles of disposable and containerized deployment.

Great and informative presentation. Glad the that slide and code examples were available at the beginning to follow along with. Great presenter.

Great talk, got me excited about PHP and writing code and sharing it. I really like having a talk like this kick things off in the morning.

Since this was a hands on workshop and required running Laravel locally it would have been greatly beneficial to include either the time or instructions for setting up a working instance of Laravel using 'artisan serve' as the presenter was using. Even if you are familiar with Docker, Vagrant, Valet, or Artisan it takes some type to set up the correct config to get Laravel running. Since there was no time to set up a local instance me and many other attendees were struggling to get a local Laravel instance running as the present dove into the presentation. It would have also been nice to have the commands the presenter was running available somewhere in the presentation repo so that we didn't need to type them out from the screen.

Otherwise it was a good and informative talk on APIs using Laravel and the presenter was very knowledgeable on the subject.

The talk was a challenging look into how data is stored and manipulated at the lowest levels of computing. Using higher level languages we forget how data is stored and represented at the binary level and this talk did a good job reminded me of that.

Having never worked with bitwise operators, the initial code challenge was confusing at first. I think other attendees would have been similarly confused as well as working with data in this way is less common.

Overall I really enjoyed the talk, knowing the low level aspects of computing is important.

Awesome talk!

jeopardy was an engaging way to present the content especially towards the end of the day when attention is harder to muster.

Content was good and important, but delivery, while novel and engaging, was a little chaotic and I feel like there was a lot of concepts that may have gotten lost in the noise.

Good overview of improvements over previous version.

Engaging and informative talk.
