SunshinePHP 2019
7 - 9 Feb 2019 at Embassy Suites Miami International

Amrita, I commend you on a well organized and delivered presentation on a leading edge topic. I'm too new in PHP development to provide any more feedback than that. As a beginning level developer, the talk was useful to give me a sense of the type of challenges experienced PHP developers and their teams are working to solve. Thanks for traveling all the way across the country to share your knowledge.

This was a very interesting talk about a subject that was well beyond my experience and familiarity. Glad I attended, as it opened up my eyes (and mind) to what people are doing with PHP and open-source tools. The talk was well organized and well paced. Thank you for sharing your experience on this topic with the community Rob, and letting us know that this is something to pay attention to in our development work.

Yes, I agree with the other commenters; please post your slides.

This is a complex and challenging topic to present, especially within a 1 hour period. Brandon was the right subject matter expert to call on to deliver the talk, especially since he's written an entire book on the subject and trains developers to implement OOP in PHP. This talk was a shortened version of the 3-hour tutorial that he delivered a day earlier. As someone new to OOP and PHP in general, I appreciated the clear and in depth explanations that Brandon provided on the SOLID principles and their relationship to OOP. I look forward to purchasing Brandon's book and listening to the talk again to deepen my understanding of his presentation. [ I use an audio recording app in which I can type notes, so I can go back and review the talk at a later time.]

I'm not gonna lie, moments like this is why I love attending conferences! An honest demonstration of camaraderie in the PHP community.

Wow, I can't think of a better way to send everyone home feeling motivated and inspired than PJ's closing keynote! He's a charismatic speaker who managed to put an ideal mix of seriousness & humour in this talk. I liked the message, I liked the story and the analogy to playing instruments was very relatable. I found the music in the background to be both an interesting way of delivering a talk and an unnecessary distraction, and I think I'm leaning more towards distraction so I took one star off (would've been 5/5 otherwise). I often caught myself thinking "oh, this is a good tune!" but also quite often just wished the music was off so I could hear and focus on the talk better. Maybe turning it down a bit would be a good compromise? Either way I really enjoyed this talk, thought it had a great structure with lots of plot twists and important messages.

A fun speaker to listen to. Thank you Chris for sharing your journey and your thoughts on serving as a leader in both the community and at work. This was entertaining and inspiring way to start off the conference.

This was definitely one of my favourite talks at the conference! I liked how Terry told us about all sorts of things, from explaining how recommendation systems work to Clarke's three laws by incorporating it all into a very compelling story (with a hefty dose of humour and the occasional F bomb). His slides were a demonstration of some top-notch Keynote-fu. An excellent, well-delivered and entertaining talk which gave a lot of insight into the programming community and the history of dating apps among many other things :)

This talk resonated with me, I could tell a very similar story of how I got into computers and speaking! It was well prepared and well delivered, with a clear structure which was easy to follow. I liked the retro style on slides too. Nara made some important points and gave plenty of advice and encouragement to all members of the PHP community with an occasional humorous remark which kept me engaged. My only bit of advice would be to smile more when delivering the talk :)

Powerful and important message. I think I am getting old as I found the music volume distracting at times. I really liked the imagery and the stories.
