SunshinePHP 2014
6 - 8 Feb 2014 at Embassy Suites Miami International

A good message, delivered well, and an engaging talk. I really enjoyed the stories that Rowan told, and the specific examples that he gave to make his points.

This opened my eyes to the possibilities of using GitHub for project management and discussion about more than just code. I'm a big fan of reducing the number of tools that you have to deal with, and Liz gave a compelling case for standardizing on GitHub.

Very inspiring. Really loved the pictures from Greenland. Also, lots of common sense and pragmatism.

A nice look at the history of tooling around PHP, with a good takeaway message. Well delivered and overall a great talk.

I liked this talk, and I liked the specific examples he showed, but I felt like it could have moved a bit more quickly. It would have been cool to see another example of refactoring in action with real code.

Superb demonstration of gathering application metrics. I look forward to hearing more about the service / tool that's being built to mine GitHub data. Only downside was a lack of examples for how to use metrics and some best practices about communicating metrics within an organization.

This was a great overview of dependency injection, why it matters, and how to do it effectively. Paul is a great speaker and did an excellent job with what can be a complex subject.
