Madison PHP Conference

You flipped around the slides pretty quickly. You also tended to bounce around back and forth without warning.

The slides are somewhat dense with code, and the font is way too small. It would be nice to use a pointer or zoom-it to highlight what you are talking about.

The slides also often had content at the bottom which couldn't be seen in the back.

You used "self::$table" in your bindParam example code, introducing an unnecessary distraction when trying to explain something else, as you hand't explained how that would work and why it wouldn't just be the string literal table name.

Quite a monotonous and halting vocal tone. More enthusiasm would help engage your audience. Maybe pick a bad practice to rail against (always with examples and explanations, not just bitterness) to get your juices flowing.

Thanks for presenting!

Great talk. All of the branching and rebase information was accessible enough to understand conceptually even though I have zero experience with git. Would have a appreciated just a little bit more basic info about how git is used in place of ftp - just an overview to put things into context for a beginner.

Great talk. Touched on all of the right topics with out diving too deep into it. I think you gave a great overview and starting points for new people and covered some areas that are either a refresher or new ideas for those that have been using it for a while.

Good talk for a started overview of git. Yes more pictures would be helpful with rebase and cherry-picking.

Great talk. As a relatively new user to Silex (< 2 month) it was easy to connect the examples to our application and visualize next steps to make it better/faster/harder/stronger/minimally acceptable. Also, the contrasts between versions was helpful. Walked away with a better understanding of Silex, Providers, Pimple, and life overall.

One (very) minor criticism - there were some points (the version differences between Pimple 1 & 2) that I felt were repeated a bit much.

Looking forward to the slides. Well-organized, good pacing, good info for someone new to git like me. Introduced commands I didn't know about.

Very good talk about more intermediate git. It gave me good pointer for workflow improvement

The talk was a bit advanced for the foundations track, as it assumed significant source control system knowledge (merging and branching). The rebase and cherry picking was particularly challenging to follow. The visualizations helped, but so would real world examples (of code which might break other code, and how the git merge process would deal with that), especially in the beginning when discussing the strategy of different branches. It would help justify the extra process required.

Good general into for those new to Git. More info on specific commands would be helpful.
