This was absolutely brilliant :) You are the ultimate Archbishop of Banterbury Jeremy!
Some really far out views for coding practices, but delivered with the point that you don't have to practice all/any of them. If you want to give your code extra safety with what you write, I can not suggest this talk enough. Being an extremely defensive programmer is a great practice and he gives great examples why.
Confidently delivered with a obvious passion and knowledge of all version control systems.
Really good content for a lightning talk, although some stuff is obvious to some people it still needs pointing out to all no matter what level of developer you are.
A great talk, great content, great delivery.
A great person to have in the our community, just wish I got chance to sit and talk with him.
I think this could have benefitted from visually comparing good / bad APIs, and really drilling home the need to write the interfaces correctly
A really great introduction to profiling, and the tools available to the community
A great talk highlighting the need to keep that work-life balance in check, we're only as good as our mental health.
Sara demonstrated how to create a HHVM extension in 30 minutes (more or less).
At the end of the talk I felt that (granted that I do not know C) that I could
confidently set out to create an extension.
It was very engaging, and although at the beginning I struggled to understand
the code examples, I was quickly able to develop a basic understanding of what
was going on.
It was a pleasure to hear Sara talk.
An enjoyable experience watching Anthony. A break down of what a type is was great, especially the low level parts. Great examples and explanation.
A must if you want to understand core PHP types.
