Northeast PHP 2016

Loved it! Learned a lot

Quite interesting

Andrew hit on a lot of great points and tools, but one piece he kept harping on (because it *can't* be overstated) is that data means nothing if it's not meaningful; we need to collect, store, and analyze it if we have any hopes of improving from it.

Fantastic keynote on the history, current state, and future of the PHP project. Anthony's involvement in the community makes him highly qualified to give this kind of talk, and his stage presence helped captivate the audience and get the conference started off on the right foot.

Samantha covered the broad topic of caching in a way that was somehow both high-level and with an extraordinary amount of detail. From the first hardware caches down to all the various caching layers involved with a modern web stack, Samantha has proven again why she's an extremely popular conference speaker.

The first "soft-skills" talk I've attended at this conference, Terrence presented the very real obstacles that passionate engineers must overcome to bring forth positive change in an organization. Covering everything from the archetypes of the people who need convincing to the approaches that work best for each kind, this talk is full of invaluable knowledge for any person – technologist or otherwise – hoping to influence the technical direction of his/her organization.

Maybe it's because I know Eric well, but his talks always force me to question my existing assumptions and challenge me to find better solutions. Containerized environments is clearly a subject that he's passionate about, and his passion has infected at least a few others in the room (myself included).

Great solid talk by Luis. My knowledge of this subject was limited, but I certainly feel like I understand more now.

The pace of the presentation was suitable to the audience, and he was able to answer questions efficiently and clearly. I feel like Luis is a knowledgeable resource on this subject, and look forward to future talks he gives.

Eric spoke from the perspective of applied experience, and clearly knows his subject.

My knowledge of the subject was "average" prior to this talk, but has definitely increased after listening.

Eric also helped me become aware of some big leaps that have occurred in the Docker space since I was last investigating it, and now I'm much more interested in digging in deeper and using it again.

Eric is a good presenter, and I felt like he connected well with the audience.

Definitely got a lot of value from the content and delivery of this presentation.

Thanks for the extensive overview of important concepts that contract developers need to understand, and especially the myriad of situations one will encounter along with advice on how to handle those situations.
There was a wealth of practical / applied knowledge shared in this presentation. Thanks for bringing your experience to share.
