Northeast PHP 2016
3 - 5 Aug 2016 at Rodd Charlottetown

Very enjoyable talk. Nice, easy to understand examples :)

Great talk. Really enjoyed the reminder that we are a community.

Great presentation! Learned about some new tech. Will definitely check out ydn-db!

Good presentation. Maybe a few more diagrams and a deeper explainationof what a web socket is. Going into the code early had me lost. Thanks!

I really struggle with giving such a low rating to a talk vs just saying nothing, and yet I believe in the value of providing honest feedback.

I believe this talk had more potential than it delivered. The abstract was promising; but the content wasn't strong enough to support a 45-minute slot.

Some starting points for ways in which this talk could be improved include spending time expanding on:
- the various file-related PHP functions available, best practices for using them (and why use one vs another),
- explanation of why the subdirectory+manyFiles approach was selected instead of writing to a flat-file (like CSV) (the reasons may be self-evident to some, but perhaps not to all)
- as well as more in depth emphasis on discussing pertinent sanitization methods and why choose one vs the other.

One could then perhaps augment it further by discussing some of the popular filesystem composer packages with code examples to show how the same actions could be handled using those packages.

I confess that I had hoped to come away from the talk with a handful of nuggets including ways to improve what I do when coding for file manipulation as well as some important reminders about potential gotchas ... perhaps with supporting case-studies so I could wrap my head around applying the knowledge.
All I took away from this talk was being made aware of the "w+" (instead of just "w") parameter with fopen(). Good to know, but had hoped for more.

I appreciated Anthony's honesty and candor. He effectively encouraged us to choose to be a part of the PHP community and not mere consumers.

Anthony delivered a skillful balance of material relevant to first-timers (of which there were many, according to a show of hands), and to seasoned conference attenders ... and likewise also a good balance of information suitable for those new to PHP and to veterans.

We were encouraged also to be sure to actively listen for the real reason behind why a person may have and be sharing passionate opinions on a subject. This has many pertinent applications, not only inside a conference but also in our day to day experience.
Our community will continue to evolve as we ourselves individually evolve. And PHP will grow as we choose to play an active part in its future.

A great presentation to kick off the conference on a positive note.

Excellent strategies for dealing with the many types of resistance you may face on the road to change.

Very nice and deep

Was nice and learned a lot

Was ok.
