php[tek] 2017
22 - 26 May 2017 at Sheraton Atlanta Airport

Solid but gentle approach to a complex topic.

My one suggestion would be to make the slides or at least code samples available before the talk, so that the audience can follow along on laptops. It was hard to make out some of the code samples at a distance.

Great perspective, thank you!

Really good talk. The speaker did a great job explaining and demoing CouchDB. Definitely sold me on giving it a try.

Excellent talk! Very personable and knowledgeable. I've looked at CouchDB in the past but have never used it. It was great to see some hands on demos along side the traditional slides to help reignite my imagination of when to use Couch.

Helpful examples, code samples, and tooling. Overall, really enjoyable presentation.

Emily took us through the "why" and then use cases that made sense for this approach. Certainly a complicated process so her explanations helped and provided much food for thought.

A great overview of PHP's performance! And other little nuggets

This was a great primer on TDD and the example used in the workshop was the best demonstration of how to think in terms of TDD I've seen yet. I'm looking forward to bringing this to my team and using that example as the foundation for our training.

Another good presentation at php[tek], with lots of content.

This was generally very good. We talked about PHP's yield keyword and generators, but I don't feel like I understand them any better than I did before the workshop. (That might be a good topic for another workshop.)

Perhaps you could create a gist with the basic composer.json file that everyone could download to get started easily. That could be included with the requirements that get sent out ahead of time so that people can figure out how to install the extension before the workshop starts.

This isn't what I thought it would be, but it was interesting and informative just the same.
