SunshinePHP 2015
5 - 7 Feb 2015 at Embassy Suites Miami International

Great talk comparing various design patterns, and how we should concentrate more on information flow and less on the actual patterns. Also confirmed my suspicion that Anthony's genius knows no bounds. If I were to suggest anything, I might toss in a few real-world examples that demonstrate the importance of information vs. the desire to use a particular pattern for the sake of it.

Nice introduction to the improvements coming in Drupal 8. I feel like this was a nice talk given the enormous amount of content to cover in such a short amount of time. It was a tad difficult following along with the different config, schema, and controller files. Perhaps slowing down a bit during that part would make it easier to follow. Otherwise, excellent talk. Bravo!

Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control are two of the most mis-understood topics, largely because their names are scary sounding. Matthew made both topics super easy to understand with simple explanations. Feel more confident using both after this talk.

Super informative, and really nice how Evan dispelled many "best practices" suggested online. Great content that can immediately be put into practice.

Excellent keynote. Best executed talk of the entire conference, hands down. Well done, sir.

Great informal conversation about the future of HTTP message abstraction with PHP. I feel like the first 25% of the talk about the history of HTTP could have been shortened, but it's probably important for those unfamiliar with the protocol. Great speaker, good sense of humor, and he handled Rasmus like a champ!

I largely agree with Anthony... I would focus more on implementation (i.e PSR-7) and less on history. But all in all it was a great talk.

This was probably my favorite presentation. I appreciated that he assumed a fundamental understanding of VMs, and this let him jump straight to the benefits of Docker and how containers can be separated and linked together to form a customizable, isolated, and FAST development/production environments. I looked at Docker when it was brand new, and this talk helped me realize how much has changed since then.

Chris was a great speaker. His pacing was excellent. His slides were informative. And I left feeling excited about the future possibilities with Docker.

I thoroughly enjoyed Jeremy's talk. He is an excellent speaker and his pacing was spot on. I feel like this was the perfect talk given the short amount of time available and the large amount of content to cover. There was a nice amount of detail but not enough to overwhelm. I learned that there was more to Guzzle than just the HTTP client and stream abstraction, and I can't wait to dig in and learn more.
