Loads of great tips and ideas to integrate into our testing, got lots from this!

I only attended the second half of the talk, but it was quite packed with useful information, so much so that it ran a bit over!

I really enjoyed this presentation and learned a bit too. There was a TON of info here, probably too much for such a short presentation time (even though it was 3 hrs). Only part I spaced out on was the AppMobi/PhoneGap stuff, but I can see how that could be beneficial to some folks. Well done overall!

Very good talk. Unfortunately, I got a work call in the middle and missed a good chunk, then had trouble catching back up. Thanks for making the code available so I can go back and educate myself. Well done.

This was an excellent beginner's-level hands-on workshop on how one can use PSR-0 compatible framework components to write an application, enhanced by the (contrived) example of picking and using together components from Symfony, Lithium, Pimple, and Zend Framework.

While the workshop's content was good, execution could have been better. There was significant dead time while Ryan was assisting attendees with problems they were having, and as a result, Ryan didn't get through all of his intended material. This sort of workshop could benefit well from an assistant who can help the presenter with personalized assistance. Also, if you didn't bring a laptop (with the capability to run apache, php, etc), there wasn't a whole lot for you to do/see without peering over someone else's shoulder.

Well done presentation on the full range of things that go into building a culture and workflow dedicated to quality software.

A great tour of all the QA tools available to php developers. Quite a bit to digest but presented clearly and easy to follow.

Ryan did a good job with what he was trying to achieve. My only complaint is that I think all talks should be labeled with the level of programmer is being targeted. For the most part, this talk was aimed towards beginning level programmers. There was a little too much time spent getting things working on individuals laptops.

I did get a couple of nuggets of information which made the talk overall worth it.

I feel that Ryan just needed to make it more clear that what he was doing was for example purposes only. The fact that you could pick and choose parts of frameworks was clever, and how to intertwine them was interesting.

Previous comment represents only the morning portion of the tutorial. I was expecting a separate entry for the afternoon.

Daniel's afternoon section on JavaScript was equally informative.

Daniel was extremely in depth in his JavaScript coverage. I managed to learn new concepts to take home.

Still worth 5 thumbs, still recommend this tutorial equally enthusiastically.

Lots of good information here, I'd recommend it to all the engineers at our company.
