Midwest PHP 2017
17 - 18 Mar 2017 at Radisson Blu Mall of America

Engaging and very motivational. Humorous and easy to listen.

Would have liked to have seen some installation information presented.

Interesting introduction to using Jenkins. I would have liked to see more about installing and then configuring a Jenkins deployment. But this still provided a jumping off point to learning more.

Before Nic's talk, I'd been aware of a few tools out there for increasing accessibility of your web applications, but it quickly became apparent that I'd barely scratched the surface. Excellent talk. I appreciated how he balanced detail with pointing attendees to references and resources to further their own understanding later. He has an easygoing, amiable presentation-style.

Fascinating talk, you obviously have a deep understanding of it. Had a hard time grasping how I might apply it but probably just the nature of the subject.

Lots of content, moved at a good clip. Did tend to say things like "obviously" and "simple" a lot, which may be off-putting to people who hadn't run into this paradigm before.

~Echoing Woody's comment... not sure the value we add by yielding from a promise vs. calling then.~

I asked. Terseness :)

Even as someone whose primary language isn't PHP, I walked away from this talk with solid action items and new knowledge. I appreciated her use of a real-world scenario to explain processes and pros/cons, and will be incorporating some of her lessons-learned the next time I work with legacy code.

Super interesting talk. The examples were good. I'm still not entirely sure how promises are implemented with regard to generators. A little more information to link the two concepts would be helpful. Or maybe I should just go read a promise implementation.

Good lecture. Very dense with a ton of good information. I think I understand better what promises and generators are, though I still don't know what kind of use-case generators are good for.

As a coding instructor, I was happy to see this type of talk at the conference. I was a bit late, but the slides provide a great reference.
