Fantastic overview of how to get started with performance optimization the right way! Seeing that this talk was tagged as a beginner talk had me a bit hesitant as I've already been comfortable using xdebug's profiling and blackfire, but I picked up quite a few new tricks!

Good review of OOP best practices, covering SOLID principles in detail. Great insights on DI and tools to support it.

Really good talk at reframing what leadership might mean to you and how you might possess leadership qualities without realizing it.

Inspirational anecdotes from a fellow coder in the trenches. Encouraging us all to find motivation through a common shared need.

Great talk! Interesting point that a lot of people display leadership skills and don't really realize it / focus in on it. Oh, and I agree, Canada > US. :-P

A good talk about the Sodium library with examples of the common and recommended use cases typically in today's computing environment.

He notes that Sodium is different from OpenSSL in that you don't get to choose your algorithms. He also gave a high-level primer on ECC and why it is important in modern cryptography.

I think Chris's most important take-away is that many of us who have been around awhile may have been leaders in small ways. Recognizing that fact and acknowledging you may have under-utilized skills are the first steps to taking control of your career and becoming a purposefull leader in other ways
