Really enjoyed this talk. Unit testing is an area I need to get into (as I normally just tack on new code to a legacy codebase at the moment). This was a very clear introduction into the subject, with some useful examples and ways to avoid gotchas.

Well delivered talk. I'd like to think I'm fairly good at writing tests, but still was plenty I could take away from this talk.

A really good presentation showing how easy it is to set up a project using Symfony. It was nice to be able to follow the code examples on github during the presentation.

Really fascinating talk by an engaging speaker. The Strangler Pattern in particular sounds really useful for legacy apps.

Definitely worth hearing and a positive way to start the conference. It was good to hear some information on internals and the fig.

Eli was really positive about building bridges and being a part of the community - beyond joining a user group, I feel he could have given more some advice on ways we could go about achieving this task.

I'll keep an eye out for more talks from Eli because he has a great speaking style.

I'm gonna use feature toggle, thanks for a good presentation!

Nice insight into how cheap and easy it is to create IoT devices, and how using the SIM card data can be transferred bi-directionally from almost anywhere in the world. Very interesting. However I don't think the 'to simplify your life' aspect was covered in enough detail; lots of large scale use cases but less in the way of personal use-cases.

Shame about the display problems but speaker coped well with it; not your fault, no need to apologise. :)

Nice uplifting talk to start the day. Felt quite proud of us. :)

A superb case study talk delivered in a comprehensive and confident manner. An interesting topic with lots to take away and think about.

The content of this talk was very good, and Derick's knowledge is top notch, but it felt like it lacked structure toward the start, and was difficult to get into.

Slides changed very quickly despite containing a lot of information, which made it tough to take notes.
