php[tek] 2015
18 - 22 May 2015 at Sheraton Gateway Suites O’Hare

I loved your knowledge, enthusiasm, and how well you explained what you were implementing!

Fantastic talk that I wish was a bit longer.

wow this talk was chock full of useful information! I was quite hungover so I didn't quite digest everything, but I look forward to viewing the recording that PHP-Tek hopefully makes available for us later. Thanks Ben!

Really enjoyed this discussion of DI! It's always a pleasure to listen to someone who has a solid (no pun intended) grasp on these sorts of topics. As a fan of loosely coupled I knew what to expect and was not disappointed. Thanks Jeff!

Your talk had a good progression of concepts from coupling in general through the concept of dependencies specifically, the practice of dependency injection and finally dependency inversion.

I'm glad you included discussion of dependency injection containers as well. I think it would be helpful to justify use of a dependency injection container by showing the code repetition otherwise required. You talked through it but I don't think I saw it visually.

It got a little complicated at the end and I didn't follow much of the discussion of Aura's DI container and how it might be misused as a service locator. If that's an important consideration I'd suggest going through it more slowly.

I liked the recap and reminder how containers can help you identify the code smell of complex dependencies.

Thanks for putting together this presentation.

Very engaging talk. A lot of common sense that was structured well and applied to situations.

I was interested throughout the whole talk, and would listen to future talks.

in task oriented mode for too long. just thinking about who can work on a task efficiently and lower cost as much as possible. i didnt put too much on the human factor. this session is just a big bang for me and inspire me to think what kind of team I would like. Thank you.

Very nice insights. I am going to definitely steal the context switching solution. Please post slides soon. I hope to present a summary of your thoughts to the other tech leaders at our company when I get back.

Good coverage of what helps makes developers happy, suggestions to keep a positive morale on the team, and still get stuff done. Every team is different, but the topics covered can apply to any team!
