PHP TEK 2025
20 - 22 May 2025 at Sheraton O'Hare Suites

Caught the tail end of this one but a great talk! Having a strong background in GraphQL I tend to work in that realm, but it certainly comes with challenges itself where REST could be a compelling alternative. With that, Ben gave a great overview of what to consider when building one or more REST endpoints.

Great job! I enjoyed seeing a deeper presentation on the use of Enums. Dana has a great speaking style.

Great overview of both key metrics to consider and think around for a given codebase, as well as tooling to facilitate analysis. Left with new ideas to consider what metrics are most important, and ways to build procedures around review and improvement of key metrics.

Enjoyed the talk and found the content valuable. I think it would have even greater impact with a simple, real-world demo—something functional yet approachable, like implementing a basic toUpperCase function.

Great new talk from Tim! I appreciated the novel "testing parallelogram" as an evolution of the "testing pyramid" model, and had many takeaways to improve my thinking around value and prioritization of testing, as well as the emphasis and benefit of leaning into TDD. Also appreciated the practical Battlesnake example to give concrete examples to look at together.

It was a good talk but I wish the library presented supported more than Laravel.

This was a great talk by Chuck that went over different MFA strategies and gave quick but practical demos as to how basic setup and login flows could be implemented with each strategy. Gave a well-explained overview of some of the structure and standards that go into OTPs and WebAuthN as well as a brief look as "silent auth".

Great overview of Filament! Hit all the topics I wanted to hear about right as I was wondering about how to do them. Really energetic speaker, obviously excited and knowledgeable about Filament.

Thank you Dave for facilitating this workshop! I attended with two other colleagues and we found it very useful to look at Rector collaboratively while learning some of the basics and pitfalls. Felt enabled to bring some approaches back to implement ourselves. Shoutout to Chris as well for helping out and giving a talk earlier in the day which would prepare folks well for this workshop.

I have built dozens upon dozens of admin panels and CRUD apps in my life, and this would have made it all *so* much easier. This talk was full of great information, and Easton presented everything very well. I see a bright future for this first-time speaker!
