Talk comments

Very nice points in there about transformation and Marcello is always an engaging and entertaining speaker. I thought there were a few too many concepts being introduced in parallel (deliberate practice, phpspec, TDD flow, TPP) and it could benefit from cleaner separation between these.

Very interesting topic which was delivered well.

Thank you for for an enjoyable and engaging talk.

Nice talk, a good explanation of what PHP is doing behind the scenes and how opcache can speed it up.

I have a question that i've thought of since the talk - what happens if you install opcache on a server than is running multiple websites? Is there a shared cache that will quickly get overwhelmed or will php cache each site individually?

In short - is this only for use on sites that run on their own servers? If anyone knows I would be interested to hear, thanks.

Great talk, I could relate to a lot of what she said regarding figuring out how REST APIs work, especially the 'if you do something and get a different error message you're making progress' comment!

I learnt quite a bit from this talk about the tools she covered and the general process of debugging an API. Lorna spoke clearly and with some enthusiasm that made listening along nice and easy too.

Interesting and engaging talk, well delivered.
