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

I am sorry but i did not see the lessons in this talk except a very far fetched parralel between php and knitting. Knitting still sounds very boring to me.

Great talk by someone who clearly has a lot of experience writing and interacting with APIs. Would have loved if he went a little bit more into details certain implementation choices and possibly different approaches for different cases (e.g. private APIs)

Good talk. Andrew covered a lot within a short space of time. I took away several useful things that I could try or consider. Considering the amount of things covered, I feel it's fair that they couldn't all be accompanied with a great deal of detail or examples. Andrew also gave a great deal of advice afterwards. He's very approachable and helpful. Thanks Andrew!

Very clearly explained. Excellent responses to questions from someone that is very knowledgeable. Thank you very much Rob, I pledge to write better APIs.

A nice introduction to a language I have not got around to looking into yet.

My favourite takeaway was the good habbits that Kat has picked up from writing in go and applied to PHP writing. I'm not sure I will be writing in Go but there's certainly a lot I can still learn from taking a look around at other languages and this was the theme of the talk throughout.

I thought her slides were excellent and really helped with the understanding.

Hamcrest looks like a great tool and a solution to some issues I have been having.

I was sold on it within the first 5 minutes, and it was nice to see some of the things it can do.

The talk was let down unfortunately by the slidedeck.
The size of the text was far too small, and the colours didn't help either (although I think the layout was well though out).
I recommend checking out Kat Zien 's slides from this conference as a good example.

Short but sweet lightning talk, but clearly described the considerations that are needed when using long running processes.

I think the real strength to this talk will be the examples that were linked in the slides to apply the practice to the theory discussed here.

Checking the memory to catch memory leaks was an excellent takeaway.

The talk didn't quite fill the time so I think there's space for a little more terminology explanation.

This was a comprehensive overview of frontend performance concerns - and I really enjoyed hearing a frontend focused talk at this conference.

I felt however although there were lots of suggestions on what we could do, there was missing key information about both how to implement these strategies and the pros and cons of doing so.

I'd suggest narrowing the topic down to a few of the big points so that more detail can be included.

Some of the javascript api functions mentions I hadn't considered using, so for that reason alone this was worth attending.

A really nice history lesson on the origins of computer communication. Asked some deep questions about what we build from an ethical and moral standpoint.

Great way to start the conference. Brilliant keynote.
