Great talk that outlined Monads (abstract data type that when the methods on it are called, it returns a new instance of the same data type) and why they are useful, why they should be used in PHP, and how to use them with practical code examples. Hope the slides are posted, because there's a bit of magic to it.
Very well done and informative talk. Thank you.
I code Haskell for a day job. Until seeing this talk, I had no real solid knowledge of what a monad actually *was*. Chris was able to describe it to me in terms a programmer can understand, relating it to Abstract Data Types. The fact that it took a PHP dev to explain FP concepts to an FP dev to actually get it shows just how well Chris can teach his subject matter.
Well covered, solid presentation. Clear and concise. I think I got the concept and now would know how to explain to others! Thanks.
MIchael did a very good job walking a user through his experiences learning code bases in a narrative way. He was very knowledgeable, and Covered everything that I've gone through in my own explorations through Drupal.

Very good presentation that should be part of all programming 101 classes or given at the start of any project. Many gems hidden inside that are very valuable
Excellent content. I appreciate his focus on people and relationships. I have found it to be very true. Only thing that could be better in my view is to read his quotes or allow time to read them.
Great job. Really recommend seeing this talk. Great personal stories associated and great advice from many people in various communities on how to be a better developer and person.
Solid talk and overview of Redis. Very well covered and presented with examples. Would liked to have seen examples of pubsub but that's probably a different talk.
