Thoroughly enjoyed this. Now I have a better idea how to start going about doing this, and what the practical uses might be.

Added a link to the slides in the description. Thank you for your feedback!

I've used payment gateways before, with a limited knowledge of what was actually happening behind the scenes. I left this talk with a much better understanding of all of the processes and types of companies involved during a credit card transaction.

Matthew's presentation covered a lot of ground without feeling rushed. I left with a much better understanding of the various data structures available through Ardent and SPL, as well as how and when to use them.

I feel your pain of stage fright, but when you let go, you are quite funny. With you wiie's and yay's, you just need to keep that type of energy. Half way through you seemed to get more nervous instead of less. :-(

Deep breaths next time. :)

Thank you for pushing yourself through it and providing the knowledge.

Absolutely loved the energy of the talk. I wanted more in depth about git. The description includes the phrase "what's going on in the .git folder?" so I was expecting an advanced talk. I guess I should read the schedule a little more in depth. ;-)

If you are ever in the Souther California area and want to present at SDPHP, please let me know. ;-)

on Navigating Your Git Repository

While some of the presentation was already covered in the key note, this presentation had much more depth. I am excited to test my codebases in php7, but based on the age of our codebase, that may be a little tricky.

Thank you for taking the time to present.

Overall great presentation. I am not sure what I was expecting from the presentation, but it really seemed to center around the semver stuff and making sure you were understanding what package version you would get.

This has been a huge issue for me at work because we have limited tests currently (but improving), so we hardcode exact versions of packages to make sure that we don't accidentally break our systems.

I am trying to get the management team to understand that we should at least allow all the bugfixes to auto update via composer.
