PHP UK Conference 2016
18 - 19 Feb 2016 at The Brewery

My current topic of interest and I learned some very valuable things from this talk, namely Consul and Circuit breakers! Very good talk, thanks! :):)

My talk of the conference - really informative, incredibly funny, addressing some really key points that we should all be considering - really could not fault this at all!

Certainly thought provoking! I would love to mentor, but very valid points raised regarding only do it if you have time! Thanks :)

An awesome talk, well delivered, funny and probing some really important issues that impact us all.

A great way to start the second day!

My man gandalPHP just smashed it.

Really good talk from Marco that helped confirm a lot of my thoughts and taught me a few things about overly depending on the DB to provide behaviours you should really encapsulate yourself (to keep your entities in a valid state). He detailed a number of tips to help achieve this, as well as highlighting common code smells that many will do without even thinking about.

Great little point from him: Can you build your entire application object graph and persist it to a text file? - Interesting challenge that will inevitably highlight what behaviours you're not explicitly catering for in your model layer.

I think there was definitely some assumed knowledge on this talk (chap behind me whispered "what's DDD?"), but wasn't too bad that you couldn't follow along. As for the challenge to add something to the talk; I struggled on this, but, maybe:
- covering hydration - when it makes to use it.
- when to use object references rather than (possibly) forcing a DB round trip

I think this will be one a few people re-watch when the video is released.

Bravo Marco.

Maintainers are people too, and Jordi's talk really got into the detail of what it means the be a project maintainer, what they have to put up with, and thus what we can do as project 'users' to make the whole Open Source community better. Very entertaining talk well delivered.

Excellent talk on some kinda-obvious-but-nevertheless-worth-thinking-about-more security issues delivered in a really entertaining way. I really can't think of anything bad to say about this talk; I thought it might be a little boring due to the subject matter, but it was most definitely not! Thanks for this great talk.

Thank you for trying to inspire more people, myself included, to find the time to give back to the community. Here's to doing my bit!

I agree it was a very informative talk, and I enjoyed it. However, I would agree (with other comments) that too much knowledge was assumed hence not full stars! Thank you! :)

Not two techs I use often, but really interesting to see how they are going about building the libraries and everything that goes on 'under the hood' that you wouldn't get to see often.
