Needs to work on public speaking. No interaction with the audience and just read her speech word for word. Good information though.

Would have been 5 had I seen the first half of the talk. Was interested as soon as I got in though. Good Job!

I felt the description didn't match the discussion. With an obvious knowledge of APIs he was able to develop a website in the time of the discussion by combining APIs to complete tasks. I was hoping the discussion would be more general and discuss the world of APIs. How to find them, are there good sources to find them. What makes a good API. How to save time find and learning to use different APIs, a list of APIs and redundant tasks.

Developers loves to write code that work and see some result but not care much on maintainability or readability. This session provides very useful overview and introduction on the important patterns. Together with "mocking with phake" session today, I can see how code could be written in a way that is unit testable. Thanks for your great presentation.

Thank you for the worthwhile introduction to Phake. The only suggestion I have is to further underscore the specific instances in which Phake excels in comparison to PHPUnit; side-by-side examples, replete with PHP code, would be ideal.

I can't speak for others in attendance, but must assume that some portion intend to return to their jobs armed with compelling reasons for which decision-makers might consider Phake over PHPUnit. The ability to point-out PHPUnit's primary failings, and particularly those that Phake addresses, would be most helpful.

Thanks again!

Great job breaking down both the what's and the why's of OOP.
