PHP UK Conference 2019
20 - 22 Feb 2019 at The Brewery

Interesting talk, especially about the lifecycle :-)

I love it! I got to talk to talented and nice people. It was easy to get to know new people in Nexmo Hackathon Lounge, without the loud music and overcrowded rooms:-)

Thanks for sharing you journey, it was interesting and in my case work-relevant :-)

Michael gave a confident and engaging talk (also stepping in at the last minute, so thanks for that!) - delivering some great information on building APIs with Symfony.

I followed most of his advice as we're doing exactly that, though some of the examples (DTOs in particular) differed from how we do things, but that's likely to be miseducation on our part, so if nothing else it's given me something to go and research!

Also interesting that there was a roundup at the end of 'if you want to do all of this, API platform will handle it for you!' - which was great as we've used API platform in the past, so if there's another talk I'd be very interested to see it's diving into that tool specifically and working around some of the quirks it has.

Overall a great talk, thanks!

Good topic and nice examples. There were some good nuggets of advice throughout though I felt once or twice the slides disappeared a bit quickly.

Michael is a confident and knowledgeable speaker and delivered a good overall talk - thanks!

Adam is a fantastic speaker, I would have sat and listened to him talk on any topic for an hour!

Analysing and measuring code is important and Adam wasted no time in explaining why and how you can practically get started in checking your code.

Great topic, great slides & resources, great delivery. Thanks!

Katerina gave a confident, solid talk (no pun intended) on how to be a better developer and gave some nice real world code examples.

It did feel as though we had launched straight into the main track rather than the keynote and I'm not sure why that is or what feedback I can give to help explain why.

Thijs is an extremely enthusiastic and natural speaker, a great choice to open the conference.

As others have hinted a little bit, this was definitely more of a motivational speech than a talk as such, but it was a nice way to ease into the conference.

Lorna lead a fantastic workshop on HTTP and the tools we have to work with it, even if the group was a little quiet. The HTTP status code card game was fun!

Learnt about some great tools that I didn't know about before and enjoyed the format, Lorna is a natural!

Gary's workshop on automated testing was hugely valuable on getting going with automated testing. Yes you needed to have a certain level of knowledge and competency, which may have been useful to mention in the description for the benefit of those who may have been expecting something a little less detailed.

Nevertheless it was satisfying to go through examples of setting up testing and get tips on how to increase coverage on existing projects.

Pleasure to sit and workshop with Gary for a couple of hours!
