Excellent presenter. Very entertaining while delivering the content. I wish the details on examples where a little more in depth but I came away with a nice fundamental understanding. 10/10

One issue was the most of banging coming from somewhere in the venue.

Funny, real, and down to earth guy with a message that a lot of developers need. Simple design and good UX is key to any successful application. Truth!

Really good. The right amount of humor and I liked all the samples. I liked the recorded sessions for examples. Thanks for providing some really good information.

The only bobble was a video that didn't start quite as well as expected, but that's the only real criticism I have.

Mike did an awesome job with a REST overview, and really drove home the importance of building stable, clean and impactful APIs, very impressed. The book is going to come in handy when digging into the principles and concepts presented, and while the Mulesoft angle felt a bit forced, it's clear there's value in using it. Great training!

Very thorough talk of all changes and guidance to provide backwards & forwards compatibility

Entertaining at times and informative.

As someone with a large legacy code base, I was expecting in-depth examples on how to go through the motions when converting/refactoring legacy code, what to watch out for, common pitfalls, all backed up by code and walk-throughs. Instead, things were just mentioned and not inspected too in-depth. Sean admitted he wasn't as prepared as he could've been for this, and it showed, unfortunately. It's clear he's a great speaker and capable and knowledgeable, but for a 3.5 hr training, I didn't extract much value from this at all.

Josh explained in straightforward style how modern PHP frameworks can be constructed from middleware.

Very insightful, had a nice demo to go with the presentation with helped grasp the concepts that were included in the presentation.

This was an excellent talk with a perfect sense of humor and information about a relatively abstract concept. You can tell Andrew has been "in the trenches" with UX/UI concerns for a while and has some great experience to share. The videos in the slides and the link to the YouTube playlist of other UX/UI related videos is a nice touch too. I look forward to catching up on those.
