Talk comments
Great talk that takes the students from having a mess of a legacy codebase, and how to step by step modernize it, without ever breaking it along the way.
This talk is awesome.
Paul has taken the pain of converting bad code into good code and turned it into an inspirational presentation.
If you're not motivated to make your codebase better after this, you might want to check your pulse.
Great talk! Good, practical advice. Excellent choice for a keynote.
Most of the points we already knew, but it's energizing and important to be reminded in such a thoughtful, entertaining way. Great way to start the day.

Nice keynote. It was a nice start to the second day of the conference. Very well formatted talk. The stories really helped reinforce the points.
I've been using Git at a very basic level for just over a year now, and our organization is starting to grow. Soon, I'll need to be working on a team with others and figuring out a work flow that allows us to integrate changes into a codebase via a formal review process. Jeff's presentation introduced some commands that I have been aware of, but wasn't necessarily certain how they work and in which situations they should be used.
The command terminology overview was especially helpful in shedding light on some of these not-really-that-obscure commands, and I'm excited to go back to the office and start fetching changes instead of pulling them, then merging branches only when I'm ready. I'm equally thrilled about understanding the difference between a merge and a rebase, and I'm hoping to start using these more advanced techniques in the future.
Great, great talk.
Great open to Midwest PHP
Fabulous speaker. Great overview with excellent examples.
