Thanks for the insight Brad.

It was very informative, and for someone who has handled/thought about design patterns before, the examples and metaphors allowed remembering unused design principles really easy to relate to.

Your passion and immense knowledge of the subject can easily be experienced during the talk.

I think going forward you could add the word "advanced" to your name, since there were a few people who were expecting the touch-base lecture thus-far experienced at the conference - and received a badass lecture instead.

Thanks for your reference to the book and all your resource materials to make it easier to follow up.

Consider convincing someone to do an OOP talk preceding yours ;-)

Exactly as it says on the tin; good look at what the state of the JS world, was useful for me who doesn't tend to dabble with JS but occasionally needs to. Good to know what other stacks look like and what's popular/not etc. Thanks!

Mr Pitt you delivered another 6 out of 5 talk here. The camera setup was great and helpful, a perfect mix of theoretical, practical demonstrations, and as always very inspiring. I just ordered an Arduino starter kit which I'll get my daughter involved :) thanks again.

Thanks Ben for the round ;)

Really improved since I last saw this talk at PHPNW16, bit more of a positive vibe and eye opening :) Nice!

Great discussion, really gives one something to think about ... a world without PHP or in my case a world without a JOB! Thanks to PHP we employ 25 people.

I like the fact that the various components are broken out and actually re-usable, like jsonlint (which I used in a real project recently). Thanks, great talk.

This was a really interesting talk, and reminded me of my childhood when I played with technic and circuit boards. It was really interesting to see how one can easily connect a circuit board and program some things in PHP.

The only reason I didn't give this a 5/5 is because I would have liked to have seen more examplesof using the PHP libraries to get some results. Obviously the time constraints didn't help, but maybe this could work well in a workshop setting?

But overall, it was a fun talk and nice to have something a bit "different" at a PHP conference that isn't about typical day to day coding.
