Great opening keynote, reminding us that we need to think of how people (both future developers and users) will use our work.

Great training day and very friendly presenters

Very interesting talk, and thought-provoking when talking about revitalising a project.

Good tutorial, showed some good examples and brief hands on experience with what it takes to write a quick core function, I can see this being very handy in future endeavours

Excellent tutorial, unit tests finally make sense

Big step forward for the framework, the talk was more advanced then is thought it was going to be. Really good overview was provided during the day, definately plan to stay involved.

Although the approach Zend Framework 2 takes is not always to my liking, the tutorial was definitely worth it. I got a good overview of the next generation of Zend Framework. The information was presented in a very clear way. I would've liked more exercises so I'd gotten a bit more hands-on experience with the framework

Great presenter, passionate, informed, informative, GSOH. I learned a bunch of useful stuff. The internet connection sucked but nevertheless we were saved by the fall back plan! Thanks Lorna.

Very good beginner-level unit testing session.

Sebastian walked us through various testing techniques and how to apply them via PHPUnit. It was packaged in a git repository, so that we can retrace our steps.

It covered all the basics and I enjoyed his reasoning behind the principles and the practical exercises.

Fantastic talk on xdebug helped to fill in the holes in my knowledge of using it.

Also learnt that I really like PHPStorm thanks to dericks live demo of it integrating with xdebug
