Ski PHP Conference 2014
17 - 18 Jan 2014 at Salt Lake Community College

Great presentation at SkiPHP! Really was an eye-opener to the importance of implementating the right security for the job.

Chris,
I'm sorry you didn't find the presentation useful. The overall purpose was to provide an introduction to, as well as how to use traits (as described in the session description).

As for the examples, I wish you would have asked questions either during the session or afterwards as I would have been happy to explain what is happening in the code.

If you have questions about traits please feel free to reach out to me and I will be glad to do my best to walk through code examples and functionality more in depth, as well as answer any specific questions you may have regarding multiple inheritance/ horizontal reuse.

I do appreciate your feedback and would really like to use this as an opportunity to work with you to make the session as beneficial as possible.

Thanks,
Mike

I've been writing rest API documentation for about a year now, and I found Samantha's talk informative. I was happy to learn what idempotent meant. Her presentation was great for resetting my baseline understanding of REST APIS.

I was surprised to see how many useful details there are to know about PHP arrays. The speaker was clearly knowledgeable and the content was practical.

A good sell on testing. Between the talk on Dependency Injection I went to and this one, I'm really starting to ask myself why I'm not unit testing my legacy code.. I thought it was just too hard, but now everyone is telling me that this really will make my life easier.

A great bout of comic relief. Funny, unexpected, and didn't go on for too long. More conferences should have something like this. My only suggestion would be to move it more towards the middle of the conference as a true 'break' instead of having it right at the end.

A good overview of the features and benefits of Wordpress. We're exploring whether or not to shift our content into a CMS, and this presentation showed off some benefits I wasn't aware of.

I had hoped the talk would have focused some more on the hacking on open source projects. It was in the description, but I don't think it came up at all in the presentation. The examples were useful, and he highlighted a lot of resources for practicing attacks.

I thought the first part on why bad code gets written and why we should focus on quality went on too long. The advice on code quality was useful, practical and important. I also was impressed by the appeal for professionalism.

This was a fantastic talk. I really enjoyed the examples of the presenter. I felt like each one was tailored to showing off the features without seeming too convoluted. It was a good demonstration of some CSS3 features that I had heard about, but hadn't looked into because they seemed difficult to use, like CSS transitions and animations.
