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

This was my favorite talk of the conference. Phil’s energy and ability to bring levity to a seemingly mundane topic was next level.
Phil did a great job of interacting with the audience and gathering their experience with client side testing. He gave a nice explanation about the philosophy and the value of creating higher level tests.

The Test Pyramid was brilliant! I loved the commentary on nomenclature and how we tend to get wrapped up in the “right” framework and test types instead of focusing on what value the tests are bringing (or not).

As always, Tim did a fantastic job kicking things off and keeping everyone engaged. I had heard this talk once before, but he changed it enough that I felt like I was hearing it for the first time.

I really enjoyed this one. Security is one aspect of development and general computering I wish I knew much more about. It's quite scary to discover what's possible, and what some people are actually inflicting upon others. So it's great to hear Eric talk about it, and to give us all the information on how to protect our projects.

I enjoyed this, even though I didn't totally get it all. I've been tired most of the day, so I need to re-watch this one.

Awesome session with lots of hands on work. Alena demonstrated how easy the implementation of codeception can be and she gave a great overview on gherkin and how valuable it can be as a communication tool for across a full product development team. My only complaint is that we didn’t have more time. The 3 hours flew by.

Great talk. I appreciated the clear explanations and visual examples as well as the on section on normalization.

Great talk! I always enjoy talks that touch internals code. It makes me want to contribute to PHP. When I see a talk like this, where it's clearly explained, it makes me think I could.

Just a really cool presentation and hope to see everything it can do in the future!

Great talk and was easy to follow along. Easton covered a lot of information in such a short time and it was hard to believe he's a first time presenter. Was messing around with Filament right before leaving this review and it's great!
