PHPBenelux Conference 2016

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated!

Though I might not have learned anything brand new during this session (except for some minor tidbits), it was a good refresh to keep some db best practices in mind. You gave clear examples, sprinkled in a bit of humor, and showed a clear passion for the subject.

The content could was a little bit light imho, but you did a great job as a speaker.

Very good explenation about how to refactor or create SOLID OOP code, that is reuseble / maintaineble and nice coded.

Thank you for this great presentation which will be very helpful for me programming the right way.
This is a far better way of programming then the MVC methode. Programming with interfaces will definitly be the future.

Very good talk if you want to know about security.

Inspiring talk! A bit "WeCamp"-ish ;-)

Sorry to say that I found this not tutorial-worthy. Half way I walked out because the pace, for me, was way too low. I can't say anything about the second half, maybe it picked up.

The build up was ok but seemed to come right off of Symfony's documentation. I might have high standards but in tutorials I'd like to get some deep insights, real life experiences steering us away from the bad stuff and pointing us to the sweet nectar the instructor already discovered. There was none of this in my opinion (as said, in the first half) so it was basically following the Symfony Book.

I'm really not trying to bash Joshua, he's undoubtably a fine speaker but this gave me very little value in terms of new knowledge. Glad that the organisers let me into another tutorial that pleasantly surprised me.

Ways to improve this would be to go off the beaten path: don't do username + password authorization but put up an LDAP server somewhere and let us try to do something with that. Try to create insane Voter rules that contradict each other and let us see how to resolve that. Just don't follow the basic scenarios, we know them.

I also expected more theory about DDD and migrations, felt a bit disappointed.

The talk was not so exciting, you kept with basics and didn't bring a nice and renewing experience. I suggest you to find something about devops that you really find interesting and focus on it, maybe you'll save some time on showing things which are already there for a few years.

The idea of combining modules from different frameworks seems quite interesting in theory. However, no one will buy into a framework because it solves theoretical problems.

In my eyes, this talk completely lacked actual usecases and/or real-world examples. That was a bit frustrating since my curiosity towards the practical implication of a theoretically interesting concept was sparked but not satisfied.

I would come see your talk again if you would invest in making your audience feel the pain of not being able to use (eg.) Laravel components in the context of (eg.) a Symphony app by *showing* what that's like. Your talk should probably start with that!

If you would then also manage to make a nice case of how PPI could take the previously introduced pain away, I would give you a five star rating on joind.in without any doubt ;-)
