PHP South Coast 2017
9 - 10 Jun 2017 at Action Stations

Great way to start the conference

A thought-provoking end to the conference delivered effectively by a natural speaker.

Loads to think about here when implementing an API - much of which seems obvious, but its so easy to fall into the habit of not doing things properly if you don't keep an eye on it!

A great introduction to both event sourcing, and some explanations of the practicalities and implementations around it using a real world example. It's good to see some of the evolution of the implementation, such as introducing the domain message wrapper.

Some of the code examples I think could be made a bit clearer - only a few lines of the files were shown at a time, and no syntax highlighting, made it just a bit harder to process than it should have done I think, but overall it was great.

This was really interesting - a complex topic made straight-forward with great explanations, some tips for supporting unicode properly in applications (and MySQL!) and more. I look forward to putting it into practice!

Really enjoyable presentation - some great ideas to think about in terms of supporting password managers (even if just the built-in browser one), managing identities across different applications and devices and more.

Great way to finish the weekend - some really interesting things to think about here. We all like to think we'd do the right thing given an ethical situation but this talk shows it's sometimes not as straight-forward as it seems!

A bit of a scattergun approach to looking at PHP Storm, but some stuff I hadn't come across before! While I knew about some of the live templates and postfix completion, I hadn't looked at them so far, so seeing them and how they work will make me take a closer look at them.

Didn't cover some of my own personal favourites, but there's so much to choose from that was bound to be the case ;)

A nice brief look at some assumptions we make as developers that don't necessarily hold (in fact, nearly always don't hold!). Shows that there's always lots to think about and ideas to challenge!

The presentation with the audience participation was really fun too, kept everyone engaged.

I enjoyed this talk - PHPCS's documentation had been a bit lacking in 2.0, so while I'd used the tool for a while, I struggled to make best use of it. It looks like the new version (3.0) has better documentation and the talk introduced some things I hadn't known about before. The only thing I think that was missing that I would have liked to have seen is a small example or guide to writing custom sniffs - something I've thought about in the past but not looked into because of the lack of documentation.
