Talk comments

Thanks for the talk Ciaran, I found the OO examples particularly useful. I already used Behat but actually doing it like TDD - from the tests first, changed my mindset a bit. There's always one talk at a conference that I go away learning something decent from and I believe this was the one for me at PHP UK :-)

Really great talk; engaging and humorous, with concrete examples that fully explored these oftentimes abstract concepts.

Good ideas for testing your actual production environment, without completely messing that production environment up in the process.

Very detailed topic that will take a while to digest, especially for those new to testing (and complex apps), but lots of useful lessons learned and tools to make use of I feel.

Awesome talk. Heard about BDD and the Cucumber stuff before but this has really made me want to incorporate it into projects now.

Excellent talk on high availability systems. Georgianna explained the problem and the solutions with nice examples from the real world. She also explained the disadvantages too which made the talk nicely balanced.

Best of all, although quite a dry topic, she didn't need to lean on funny gifs or memes to keep the talk interesting - the slides had useful diagrams and she explained things in a clear and often amusing way.

Great talk, suggest real and approachable ways to start working towards TDD rather than the typical way of saying "just do it". Highly recommend.

An accessible and understandable overview about Json Web Tokens and their use. Putting this ahead of the alphabet-soup presentation yesterday would have been a great move.

Good presentation, I can use this knowledge at work to improve our quality and processe.

Difficult to comment on the technical aspects of the talk, as I've not really used Expressive/Middleware, but it was an interesting talk with a useful run through of code examples.
