Talk comments
What is quite a technical topic was made simple to understand through effective presentation. It was very interesting throughout and has reinforced my urge to look more into PHP internals.
Hadn't heard of Strangler Applications before so it was a good introduction to the concept with detailed technical examples. It would have been interesting to find out more about how implementations could possibly change on a project to project basis.
I have used functional programming languages before so to see an example of how PHP, a predominantly OOP language now, can be used in this way was interesting. The array_sum example was great to show the concept, however I believe some other areas were irrelevant, which has already been mentioned.
I'm aware this was quite an impromptu talk for Rob and given that, it was still a good introduction to the topic that was delivered confidently and left me wanting to look into the topic more. I look forward to seeing a revised version in the future!
I've only recently used WordPress for the first time so this talk was very applicable. It offered useful overviews of modern tools that I am definitely going to look more into. Overall it was a clear and confident talk that prompted interesting discussions too.
With only half of the time available, a summary of all PSRs to date were covered effectively. A good refresher!
Lots of good thoughts about how to hide your passwords and configs in your software.
A good reminder about why we're writing our scenarios... I know a few of mine will be reworked at the earliest opportunity for falling into some of the traps mentioned
Really interesting talk, and a good reminder to those who've been around the block a few times to remember where we started and what we'd love to have known back then.
This talk was really good insight into how others in the industry practice agile.
After the first part, this second part was a great hands-on talk. Seeing the implementation of a basic interpreter was very effective in demonstrating the information given in the first part talk.
