Talk comments
I really enjoyed this talk, the content was really informative and the delivery style was great!
Continuing on the common theme, good overview but didn't really fit into the time slot.
Very enjoyable talk on what, for most of us, I suspect, is a very difficult area. While it was based on the speaker's own work requirements, I felt there were plenty of items covered that could be used in any environment.
Very interesting talk and good for a reference point, just a shame it wasn't longer!
Couldn't fault it, had a great time, food was really good, bar was free and met some really interesting and fun people :)
Good introduction to an interesting tool, more time spent on examples might have been beneficial.
Great talk, interesting content, good examples and well delivered!
A useful overview that attendees will be able to use to get more detail on the areas that particularly interested them.
Having not used Symfony I found it was a good introduction about how to get started, but I think it will be more useful once I've had time to go through the slides and the code examples.
This was a contender for my favourite talk of the weekend, especially the bit about why you're writing tests.
I can't comment on the difficulties for non-natives to follow the talk, but I was rather pleased that this was pitched at people who know how to write code - padding it out with hand-holding for people who aren't familiar with OOP would have detracted from the content. Opening with an overview or background on the speaker is unnecessary in my opinion - the talk was able to speak for itself in terms of quality and accuracy of content. Any decent developer watching should be able to see what the advice being given is good advice.
