As the leader of a small team (3), I have been toying with adopting Agile/SCRUM techniques off and on for the past few years. I read a book on it and then adjusted how we do things.. some.. but I have to say your recommendation to go in full force, and change how we do things.. and then make small tweaks *if* things don't work from there.. isn't something I considered.

I would have liked to have heard more about what *is* working for you and your team.. or at least as much about what does work, and less about what didn't work.. however, it was helpful to hear what didn't work for you.

You're well spoken and verbal skills are outstanding; your presentation/slides could use a little work; or maybe eliminate some of the in-between ones and focus on some of the main quotes/points more closely.

Excellent intro to Slim 3. It was cool to see how much could be done with very little code. Compared to some of the things I've done and built already, it likely be very simple to build some of the apps or APIs I've built but with slim instead. I'm excited to do more with middleware and I feel like I am actually understanding how it really works. I really enjoyed this tutorial.

The speaker switched alot between a live view, repository view, and slide view. I found this hard to follow.

Excellent presentation in a choose your own adventure format where the audience got to choose what topic to cover at numerous times throughout the talk. Lorna showed how easy it is to run certain more advanced concepts like interactive rebase, bisect and others, including new flags on common git commands that make things more usable or easy to understand.

This was a very interesting talk. The sound was too quiet, but I was still able to hear/understand. I certainly enjoyed it.

Great knowledge of the content and flexibility. Speaker was well-prepared for any questions and allowed us to choose the commands we wanted to learn. I really learned a lot both from this format and from the knowledge of information presented. Even with commands I already use, I learned so much!!!

Interesting talk. It might have been nice to see some slides because it was a little difficult to understand at times (mainly due to the sound system and the size of the room).

A fantastic talk. It was great idea to write our questions on sticky notes and then for him to go through and answer them all. It was also amazing to see an array of presentations he could just open up and talk about. I thought Sebastian's ability to compare all the different packages and talk about the pros and cons, including those of PHPUnit was unbiased and great.

Magic, anyone?

I thought there were some interesting pieces of information in this talk but I think it wasn't as good as it could have been.

The git repo was an excellent idea but it could have been much better. Have clearer examples. What exactly are you expecting us to do? I didn't like the CronManager example because it wasn't clear what we were trying to implement. The slides talked about one test method and then it was "Go implement". Go implement what, exactly? Michelangelo, did his best to describe what the CronManager is, but it wasn't clear he wanted us to design new classes for the Events, Scheduler, etc., when the only example was a single test case. I initially thought the purpose was to write a new tests. It was only checking out the next branch did I understand what he was trying to get us to do. That too though was far too complex to complete for the time provided within the session.

The class is about testing, so it would have been better to have had classes that we need to write tests for so we can deep dive into writing better tests.

I did learn a few things from the class so least I got something out of the class.
