I was pleasure to meet the "face" of tool what I'm using every day. Big respect to all you work. Thank you for polite pointing the other hand of open source world.
This talk was quite an eye opener, I had no idea that this mentoring community existed and while I don't think it is something I will be getting involved in there are a few people that I know who I think would be interested in different sides of this and I have already encouraged one of them to go and give being a mentor a go. Thank you.
If there was any room for improvement it would be to include a few more practical tips on mentoring, maybe covering how to help someone who is struggling, different coaching and teaching techniques, etc.
Great talk, many examples, few comparisons this inspiring me to start using Phake, thank you Matthew.
A great intro to PHP 7, it could have perhaps benefited from going a little faster to get one of two more new features mentioned but overall it was warmly presented and very clear. Code examples were nice, simple and big enough to read!
I wish to see more examples and a little more passion or interactivity with delegates, but in general it was very good talk, many good ideas to use not only in Sypfony projects.
Great overview of the new features, awesome presentation! Thanks!
Technical, high quality, fanny = great talk!
Maybe if Capt' Asgrim Sparrow kept his beloved Black Pearl a little more secure he wouldn't have lost it in mutiny to Hector Barbossa. Arrrghhh, me hearties. Where's your parrot James? Eh? Go hard or go home.
Ok that's enough.
Security is a really difficult topic to cover because it's so easy to dive into rabbit holes and start losing people. James did a really good job of keeping it high level, and pointing delegates in the right direction for them to venture on.
It's amazing how much he did actually touch on; from the commonly known injection, reflection attacks to threat modelling and timing attacks. Ton's of stuff to ponder on and finished nicely with a great anecdote of his own amusing blunder (we all do it). There's a huge amount of value in this talk which in my opinion developers should have fully absorbed before being allowed to touch anything that might hit production.
Really well done James (or are you James? You say you are, but...?).
I still have mixture of different feeling in my head... In general completely agree with the main subject. But a little to personal for me.
This presentation was on the higher level of knowledge about Docker what I expected, to be fair is not the criticism :) maybe more examples and even short introduction for newbies will be helpful for me. In general very good talk.
