Great talk, loved the security topics - felt like the most common security issues could have been addressed in more detail, but I understand a talk like this could have easily taken 3 days. Great job Chris!

Michelangelo certain knows what he is talking about, but the session was plagued with problems in running the required configuration. Part of this was due to the target audience - developers relatively new to testing and specifically PHPUnit. The level of prior knowledge varied significantly throughout the room.

One thing that I think might have helped is clearer instructions on changing branches...maybe a command to run that would take care of clean up, branch checkout and composer steps in a single step. Or at least the commands listed on-screen.

Also, the platforms being run varied throughout the room. There were Macs, Windows PCs, and Linux PCs. But Michelangelo had that managed pretty well as he had USB sticks that had the full setup on them. That worked pretty well.

I run PHPUnit already and have done TDD in the past (and still do when possible), so much of the information was review for me. I still learned something though, so it was a good session.

Great info, very knowledgeable speaker. I really enjoyed the talk and am very interested in learning more and/or trying out apigility now. On suggestion would be to add a little more emotion to the delivery of the presentation :P

Very thoughtfully presented. Exciting to learn about PHPUnit from the author himself! Sebastian collected questions from the audience and managed to process them all. Great tips on testing legacy code with big, mysterious functions. Nice comparison of PHPUnit and PHPSpec. I appreciate how Sebastian speaks admiringly of other testing libraries, while still defending his own philosophy. Thanks!

David went at a very manageable pace. I was a bit behind the curve and received assistance from David and the conference assistant. I got caught up quickly and the talk made a great deal of sense. I feel like this would make a great full day, or multi-day, workshop.

Enjoyed this tutorial very much. Very well done job on explaining PSR-7 and middleware and how to implement these with real world examples.

Great in-depth look at making Magento as fast as possible! I learned a ton from this tutorial and look forward to exploring these topics further.

Good intro to ZF2. Chuck is a very dynamic speaker. The only problem that occurred was some of the code in his demo was broken. But he was gracious about it and promised to update it.

Zack did an excellent job covering the concepts of TLS and secure connections. He used practical examples, and covered a great amount of material in the time that was available. I feel much more grounded in HTTPS and what it means to use it practically.

We were able to follow along for a portion of it, and it would have been great to do more, but I'm sure that will come after Let's Encrypt goes into public beta. It would be neat to run a VM and set up everything up on that. Regardless, we saw the setup in process, and it was a very good talk. I am very glad that I attended.
