It was nice one, though it was a bit unclear how exactly it was related to frameworks besides that the atendee's were related to the frameworks.
I really liked the intro keynote - helped to understand more where PHP is coming from and why it is moving forward they way it doing it.
Really appriciated the examples based on real life usage. Cleared couple things up that I was wondering about.
It was a nice and energetic way to conclude the conference.
I loved the concept of the talk, but after about 20 minutes or so, I just felt overwhelmed. Part of that could have been the timing of the talk, which was later in the day, and my brain wasn't firing on all cylinders. I don't think I really grasped an overarching thesis of the talk, and therefor during the talk wasn't really sure what it was building towards.
First of all it is always in your best interest if you are a programmer and have a chance to hear anything Taylor Otwell has to say. Ryan seemed very passionate as did Fatima, but I was unable to take anything she said seriously because every 4th or 5th word out her mouth was "like". That said Beth's responses kept me wanting to hear more from her. I would have been nice had they passed the mike around like the previous days panel discussion.
Although this talk was targetted at beginners, it still cleared up some misconceptions I'd had about PHPCS as well as teaching me about functionality/toolsets that I did not even know existed.
Well done through and through. Easily accessible concepts for beginners, tips and secrets for seasoned pros.
Very much looking forward the improvements 2.8 and 3.x will bring to my team!
Derick is (as always) very mindful, aware, and in ownership of all of Xdebug's inadequacies and faults as he is of its strong points and usefulness.
Running through the history of Xdebug to see where it came from and how it got to where it is and where it is going in the future also fit the overarching theme of the conference as a whole. Understanding the past helps us be aware of the future.
October themed tools for use all year long! This may well have been one of the single most useful talks I attended!
((And I don't just mean at this conference, either.))
Very nice with practical examples.
