Jason, you clearly know your material, and you're a very energetic person when you present. My one recommendation to you when you present this topic again is ......slow down the pace at which you speak. There's no need to rush.
A very dynamic speaker. While I found the GitHub repo a bit tricky to install locally in order to follow along, I was able to watch, listen, and follow along as Jason demonstrated testing on the screen. It helped that I had some prior familiarity with PHP unit testing (although only on code written in procedural). Watching testing being done on a object-oriented codebase was new for me. Jason moved through the material very quickly. I suppose that was appropriate given the skill level of the rest of his audience. While I don't feel ready yet to implement unit testing on an OO-based codebase, I got a lot of value in attending a workshop where I could just listen and follow along with an experienced developer talking at length about this topic. Bonus: learning about Jason's recently published book, 'BaseCode'. Something I intend to purchase to learn from his experience as a developer.
Great talk!
Nice perspective on waiting for application architecture decision, only experience teaches things like that. Looking forward to attend more talks like this.
Brandon organized and delivered an outstanding talk on a highly technical subject. What's even more commendable is that he was able present on the topic for 3 hours! [Not an easy thing to do.] He broke down the topic into a set of understandable components organized around the SOLID principles. He infused his talk with useful insight from his experience as a developer writing object oriented PHP.
A lot of great information!
One of the best talks in the conference. So enjoyable and so F'ing awesome as Terry would say.
Very well done with lots of useful info
Great talk! Enjoyed and got a good high level idea on recommendation engines.
Worth the F* price of admission. :)
