Meep.
This was awesome!
Great way of presenting the importance of testing.
One of the things that I really wanted to get more information on in this conference was using Dependency Injection with decoupled classes and testing with something like PHPUnit. This talk was a crucial part of that. I understand the desire to retire this presentation but it was very helpful for me. I think a lot of people are starting to use unit testing now so I think something that might be helpful would be a presentation on how to convince your supervisors of the need for unit testing.
Very good presentation! I wish that more of my fellow programmers could have seen it. I am not sure that I agree with emphasis that he put on using a framework. They have their place but he made it sound like you should always use a framework and I think with good coding standards and good architecture, you can accomplish the same thing with a lot less bloat. I also would have liked to see a little less overlap from the Refactoring presentation in order to have more time to get more information in. That being said, this was still a very good presentation!
Very useful presentation! It was obvious that the presenter had a great passion for and understanding of authentication and authorization and gave some great information. It could have been timed a little better. The slides from the latter part of the presentation looked like something I would have liked to hear in more detail.
As always Elizabeth shines as a speaker, and was very engaging and entertaining. Lots of good information, but some slides seemed to be added as space fillers with some redundancy to add length to the talk. I was very interested in hearing of great ways to use Github for more than just source control, but would have liked to see more of "how" to go along with the great ideas. While I was nervous it would be a marketing talk on why Github is great, it was actually a nice talk covering how a company found uses for Github. (The company just happened to be Github.) Glad to see Github eating their own dog food.
