Time to stop leaking implementation details and type a lot less by using the latest PHP properties. Great talk!
No two projects are exactly the same, and the size and past experiences of teams will often dictate how we feel about monoliths v microservices v something else entirely. I really appreciated Sarah's approach to finding that happy middle-ground where teams can get the benefits of a monolith with the flexibility of microservices. She was also really great about explaining when monolithic microservices might make sense (based on app size/complexity, team size, application maturity, etc.)—and when they don't.
Chris knocked this talk out of the park! Great API talk with loads of real-world experience shining through.
Great REST talk, going through lots of good points and concepts. Lots of great information in this talk. Went a bit long, but talk was well worth the time.
Great talk, the battle snake was an engaging example. Confident speaker, high energy, clearly knew his content. The navigation was a bit clunky at times but I suspect that will improve with repetition. Going from events first was a good way to approach the topic. A good introduction that showed the potential of event sourcing but left you wanting to learn more.
Great crash course on event sourcing and a couple of its use cases. Would have loved to see the demo dominate in battlesnake due to the sourced event data. ^_^. Event, Project, Win!
So many good tips about using xdebug effectively
Very excited about the new features in 3.5 and beyond!
Thank you for sponsoring the conference. I love to see this as someone who has been forced to maintain a Cordova app truely against my will. I would have liked more technical details about how the solution works and less of it's history. Things like "hello world" file size and how the solution is architected would have been nice.
Overall it seems like a great solution for the community.
Another morning, another great talk from Tim! It was also great having Battlesnakes used as the basis for the example application, as it's an uncommon use for Event Sourcing, but one with a well-defined problem space that is both competitive and non-serious—do you want to worry about financial transactions or DESTROYING YOUR RIVALS IN THE ARENA OF BATTLESNAKE?
