php[world] 2019

It was very easy to follow along and I loved the slides/website. The examples were understandable and I learned some things I was not aware was possible as a PHP newbie from a Java background.

Good group of varying perspectives, with an active audience to the point that very few scripted questions ended up needing to be asked.

Perfectly explained a disruptive technology to an audience with various levels of familiarity. The facilitator was also fun and I never waned in paying attention.

Just fantastic: Inspiring, relatable across the board no matter the listener, and really gets to the heart of the importance of connecting through courageous communication.

It was a lot to cover and the nature of live coding is not seamless. I appreciate the instructor pushing through and finishing the workshop.

It was cool to see the different async options available in PHP and how they’re used.

Easy to follow amazing info and review

This talk was very informative. Enjoyed the comparison between the different libraries/applications

Great explanation about what to expect in PHP 7.4. I really enjoyed having specific code examples where it was appropriate instead of only talking about the concepts in abstract.

Felt like a bit too much time was spent with tangentially related analogies (e.g. the record store). Thinking that that time, and some of the time spent talking about potential applications at a 50k foot view, would've been better spent going through the technical details of a basic blockchain implementation. Though DeFi would've been another interesting use case to bring up (which goes hand in hand with stablecoins).

Also, some of the illustrations were sized too small to see from the back of the room.

That said, I understand your focus in this presentation given its beginner billing. Hopefully I'll see an intermediate/advanced version of this at a future conference.
