Talk comments
This talk gave me ideas to bring back to QA, my department.
Great talk and Steve was wonderful to talk with later that day about how to work this into my company.
The presentation was great. Entertaining, and lots of information explained well. Five thumbs up for that.
My issue with this talk was the conference organizers choosing to make it a keynote. I'm one of those people who does not volunteer, and was not inspired to volunteer in the future. To me, it felt a little too much like a hard sell pushed onto a captive audience.
This was an excellent talk on forms, and what I liked the best was the process that Bob used. Rather than having details on all forms, he only used a few and the details were all of the supporting code around forms. Importantly, he showed the process he used and how he incorporated GitHub. This was one of those talks that met at the same time as a very popular talk elsewhere in the conference, and it's a shame that more people could not attend. It was a gem of a talk with considerations for all PHP developers. I really enjoyed it.
This talk was really great. I've been a fan of Bill Sanders' work since I read his latest book 6 months ago, and his writings have pushed me toward utilizing OOP in all my projects. I thoroughly enjoyed his examples and felt they made it a more accessible topic. I had never really understood polymorphism until this talk.
When I learned OOP after years of procedural, I felt my programming skills "level up" in a sense. This talk was a good refresher on the basics of OOP for me and I think Bill really brought it down to an easy to understand level.
OOP is such an interesting and broad topic, I honestly could have stayed in that room all day.
Awesome Presentation!
@phae was an energetic speaker and very vibrant. I enjoyed here mentioning the Healthcare.gov fiasco and the "call to arms" for civil servants to write better code and design fluid govt websites
I would like to have seen some "Swag" from Code for America. The Gov.UK refactor was interesting, however I wish more information was given abou t the Code for America Brigades
Overall phenomenal presentation and I hope to see more
Thank You
Superb Presentation! I am new to PHP and extremely excited about OOP because of Bill presentation.
I would like to follow-up with Bill and see a combined OOP + Composer presentation next year.
Well done Sir!
Mike is a born-speaker. The talk was very interesting and convinced me to implement RAML into our APIs pre-production process. Thanks Mike!
