Madison PHP Conference
16 Nov 2013 at Warner Park Community Recreation Center

Great talk! Time to start "hate-driven development" first thing Monday morning!

Great talk, though I got lost a few times. Overall well presented and had a lot of enthusiasm.

Unfortunately didn't seem to know the material or practice a head of time. Consider having your code demos in multiple locations and be prepared in case you don't have your own laptop or no internet. Good start for your first talk but work on practicing in front of a mirror.

Awesome talk!

Seemed very unprepared and disorganized. Disappointed.

Obviously, having the right adapter for the projector is critical. Another option for a workaround, when you need your machine for its local DB, etc., is that you could use another machine with the right adapter to remote control (VNC, RDC, TeamViewr, join.me, 2X, etc.) the presenter's machine.

The talk seemed frenetic. You mentioned a few concepts and then quickly bounced into various demos, (which weren't even demos because of the tech issues), and scrolled quickly through code. You didn't have a lot of context or scaffolding for the audience to follow along and understand.

You didn't well differentiate between different types of sanitization/purification (beyond a quick mention that it does matter whether you are pushing to a DB or web output), nor, beyond the Bobby Tables comic, did you really show what was going on.

Remember, this is the foundations/beginner track. It's the time to pound out fundamentals. HTML input comes in-- what would it look like, how could it cause a problem in the database, how could it cause problems in PHP code, etc.

The hashing/salting/encryption discussion was particularly abstruse because of the handwaving.

You were enthusiastic, though, so that was positive.

Thanks for presenting!

I enjoyed this talk.

Good content. Having seen you speak before, it seemed like you were a bit less engaged and passionate than when you talk about composer.

Nicely organized, easy to follow. Very useful for n00bs like me! Thank you!

Great content, very passionate delivery. We've got to get our whole department to see this talk.
