PHPSW: Architecture, June 2019
12 Jun 2019 at Desklodge

Great stage presence, and nice clear slide visuals.
I liked that you engaged the audience with polls.
There were a few moments when you mumbled a little at the end of a sentence, idk if they could hear you at the back then. Excellent elocution, though! There was a bit of waffle around the TDD and Architecture slide.
I think this would be a good talk to give as a guest lecture at a bootcamp, it's very straightforward and comprehensive, and a very important subject!
I liked that you explicitly stated you're open to questions throughout.
Nice visuals.
Thank you!

Awesome talk by Sam, some great information around testing, with the pros and cons clearly defined.

In addition to the information given, I'd have like to have scene a "demo" of the code running (via a video,live coding is risky).

Good job :)

Great talk about testing our code. It has never been easy for me to really understand things about testing, but this talk has given me a new insight of what testing can be other than actually test the code! Well done!

Great talk. This stuff is really tricky when you have to make the decisions yourself. I think you ended up pretty much at the point that I'm at, which is reassuring.

I thought some of your descriptions of th DDD terminology could have been better (eg Entity vs Value Object).
Or maybe that section isn't required at all?

Fantastic talk, really good explanations.

Will be attempting DDD in future projects.

This was great. I loved the use of beer reviews.
I think some of the funny could have been a bit bigger and you spoke a bit rushed.
I loved the use of visuals. I learnt some names for DDD artifacts I've used and seen without fully realising it.
Thank you!!

Great talk by Kat. Well delivered, good tone, speed and volume. Even as a 'muggle' I understood the first part which was nice (I'm not a dev so the hex architecture got confusing - no fault of kats!). Good recap and suggestions at the end.

Thanks to Kat for journeying from London!

I'm constantly surprised with how many ways there are to approach a problem, let alone the many different ways you can structure an app.
Good stuff.

Interesting and engaging talk. Was nice to see some of the justification and reason behind application architecture in applications that, as a junior dev I have adopted in my role.

Real excellent talk, clear and concise, good examples and gave me something to think about outside of mvc :)
