Midwest PHP 2015
14 - 15 Mar 2015 at University of St Thomas

Good story. Interesting to see how the idea evolved.

Really interesting memoir, starts a little slow but an inspiring climax and overall well presented.

Nice to be in a talk where code was discussed but there wasn't a huge block of code on the page. Beau does a nice job of telling the story of how a developer can go, over time, from being a consumer of open source software to building a piece of open source which people actually use. He goes into the challenges of dealing with imperfect prior art, rejections, and finally meeting people who actually use his software.

Very cool talk.

I think this talk was interesting from a kind of mad scientist perspective. It probably has more potential at Javascript conferences but needs some work. Overwhelming, at the current time, most PHP devs probably know very little about the basics of ES6 except that it is the next rev of Javascript. If the talk was reorganized and the concepts were more flushed out then it would probably help. I think it would be beneficial to discuss, at the beginning of the talk, what you're trying to teach or discuss with the audience. I'd leave the demo for the end.

FWIW, I've worked with Angular 2 a bit and am familiar with ES6 concepts but still had trouble finding what the talk was attempting to teach the audience. I think the app looks really cool and am excited to see the ObjectRegistry open sourced.

Great presentation. I enjoyed the laughs, and definitely appreciated the viewpoint. This is something I think business needs to adopt whole heartedly. One of my favorite talks so far!

Great presentation skills. No deep dives, but enough of a survey to get people to look deeper on their own if interested.

Good intro by Beth to highlight some of the problems. Great discussions.

Thanks! Good overview of the tools and files to organize.

This talk got a little deep a little fast for me - some less complex examples would have helped get my head around the concepts.
