php[tek] 2014
19 - 23 May 2014 at Sheraton Gateway Suites O’Hare

As a relatively new PHP dev, this was a bit over my head, but, as I found throughout php[tek], helpful neighbors showed me the ropes, for which I'm very grateful.

I came away from the session with a much better understanding of where to look for trouble spots, and a nifty hackable vm to share with my coworkers.

I wanted a jumping off point to learn how to prepare data-based estimates and Chuck delivered 100%.

This was a fantastic, to-the-point guide to using git as a collaboration tool. I got some great tips that I can't wait to implement on my own team!

Great introduction on PHPIDS and Expose. Great for those who have not implemented any form of IDS using PHP. I also loved how the demo pointed out edge cases and how they would be caught. Must see for every developer

A great presentation with concrete examples to follow.

I had used Composer prior to this talk, so I was not a complete novice going in. Beau's coverage of semantic versioning and exactly how the stability levels effect what packages get installed gave me a much better understanding on how to use Composer intelligently, both when creating new packages and when using packages from other developers.

Tim covered a good amount of ground considering the talk was only 30 min in length. The graphic design of the slides themselves and their transitions were excellent. The talk came across as very polished

Great talk. The theme of the 7 deadly sins kept things interesting.

I enjoyed the talk. I think it would benefit from a longer time slot.
