Talk comments
Interesting subject and good presentation.
Light and eatable. Althought I probably would never use php for this, I treat this presentation as an encouragement to seek for solutions of problems that interest us, you can learn sth usefull by the way.
Perfectly balanced take-home messages with cautionary tales and a healthy dose of humour and wit, spot on.
A great overview of Docker in regards to PHP especially now that the technology is a little more mature but could have done with clearer "getting up and running" introduction.
A wealth of excellent content that was expertly paced and enthusiastically delivered.
A huge amount of really useful information crammed into this talk - appreciated, and I learned a lot, however it was hard to keep up with in places and could have done with being better paced, or maybe focussing on fewer areas.
A lot of really useful information that I will definitely be able to put into practice within my projects - delivered really well with good slides and examples.
Really great insight into a topic I'd never seen covered before but is nevertheless very interesting. Obviously only covered the 'basics' but this was enough to pique an interest.
Chris is a really good speaker, I think his acting helps - well paced and charismatic.
In terms of the presentation, a really good first talk. Clearly delivered and decent slides. Good speed and a decent amount of content.
However, most of the audience are using Git and I do appreciate your answers regarding my question about your preference for SVN, but the talk could benefit from discussing the problems solved by using different VCS-es - since you are aiming at an audience that has little prior experience or a dislike for VCS, it would be wise to present current best practice to ensure that people are armed with the best information on which to base their decisions.
Diversity is important topic, but I encountered, that you sometimes are too sensitive. I don't think, that comments like "You write a pretty code, because you are a girl" can be sexist - it can comes from fact, that we treats female as "the gentle sex" and - in men opinion - you are more exact. But - once again - your talk was about really, really important topic :)
