Michaelangelo not only gave a phenomenal presentation, he assisted attendees with their individual issues, ensuring that all could benefit from his helpful, informative talk; God Bless him and his commitment to spreading PHP Unit testing knowledge in a captivating and engaging way
4.5 more accurately. Great class. I feel much more confident now about how to proceed with adding tests for an existing legacy application. There was some difficulty following along some of the examples when it wasn't clear we were moving on to the next step (represented by a git branch in the class repo). But Michelangelo is such an experienced speaker he kept us moving and following along just fine anyway.
This was the talk/workshop I was the most excited to come see at PNWPHP and it totally lived up to the hype I built up in my head! There was a ton of technical deep dives into some complex PHP topics and it was explained concisely. I really loved Elizabeth's passion here too - she speaks with an energy and enthusiasm for PHP without holding back on its faults and while still remaining open minded.
Most of all, Elizabeth was so encouraging of people to learn. It's one thing to say "this is how it's done" but another to say "here it is and I want you to learn it, so ask/here's more resources/come talk to us and make PHP better!"
Michelangelo gave a very insightful explanation on why and how can test our web applications. His presentation was very clearly delivered by Michelangelo with useful real world examples. He gave us some very nice code snippets to take away with us and some really powerful tools which we can all use to create more secure, more powerful applications which we can be all the more proud of not only because they work, but that they will work that much better - and not come back to haunt us or our clients later. Great workshop. Thank you to Michelangelo Van Dam.
Lorna well-versed in the topics she covered, and very enthusiastic regarding the subject of working with git. She introduced me to a new way of looking at git that transformed how I personally felt about git. She explained not only that we are telling a 'story', but why we are telling this story and how it is helpful not only to ourselves but others. I highly recommend going to any lecture or workshop she might be giving. I consider myself very lucky that my mentors encouraged me to attend this workshop. It was, as others have stated, exceptionally helpful, thoughtful and well-delivered.
Very clear session delivered by Eli with useful real world examples.
Lots of useful tips, great instructions for beginners.
Hands on, interactive, captivating.
The talk was a practical and entertaining view of understanding and using Git in the "real world". The fundamentals were clearly presented as were more advanced Git features that a developer would want to know.
Thank you! Your class proven to me that i need to build my knowledge with Test Driven Development using phpunit to make php apps more reliable and better locate problems before they happen or pin point the line immediately when there is an issue instead of stepping through debugger searching for the line. Amazing!
