Based on the title and description, I expected more in-depth discussion of the CI part of the CI stack, rather than an overview of code standards, build tools, etc. Otherwise, the presentation was very clear and detailed.
Nice guy. Great site. Covered the basics. Well done.
A lot of good information presented in a really good way. The demo was very impressive. The only thing I would add would be a quick comparison with other NoSQL systems to explain when to use Redis and when not to.
Great examples of real world practicality.
Very underrated complimentary tool for your testing tools
Great talk by Ian. Some really straightforward ways of adjusting your desktop-based site to work better on mobile, as well as the various tools available to assist in testing etc.
Overall a good amount of detail about the various offerings out there, and the considerations required in shifting to cloud-based solutions. I would have perhaps liked to see some more detail/tips on how this can be retrospectively applied to legacy applications that weren't originally designed to scale (but now suddenly need to).
Loved the brutally honest approach by Ed here - really engaging and entertaining. Refreshing to hear advocacy for the micro-PHP side of things as opposed to "what you can accomplish with large framework X".
Excellent presentation. Paul gets his message across with a high level of knowledge and enthusiasm. His code examples were concise, and he spent just the right amount of time on them for the audience to 'get it' before moving on.
Interesting how much can be done with just codesniffer, particularly the sections about sniffs run on the unit tests. LB balanced covering the practical, organisational problems well against describing what can be done and the benefits of doing so.
