Talk comments
Good talk. My one feedback would be add some syntax highlighting to the code samples, it would make them easier to quickly read as you go through the slides.
I like seeing the things that azure can do
It would be GREAT to see some comparisons between doing things on AWS and Azure and some examples and templates for getting started with scripting deployments on Azure.
Would also be really cool to see a live setup of a demo application :)
Great talk. As a new user of Eloquent, I got a lot out of this.
Good insight on what impact some otherwise simple actions/decisions on the developer's end have on the underlying architecture. Nice reference/talk-theme based on physics. The speaker is energetic and full of positive energy, as always. Stay that way, Elizabeth!
I'm a huge fan of Adam's willingness to tackle live coding ... in an app built from scratch, in front of an audience with standing-room only.
Adam has clearly invested a lot of energy in the TDD process and communicates its concepts effectively. I heard several people talking afterward about how much simpler TDD is than they had initially thought.
While I already practice many of the concepts Adam presented, I grabbed a few specific tips that will make my next project easier to get started. (I love the phpunit.xml use of environment vars to set up the in-memory sqlite db connection, instead of setting those in .env and database.php.)
Jeremy is awesome.
This talk was not what I expected, though it was still extremely valuable. It was more about what to be "afraid of" rather than getting deep into how to solve those problems. A great checklist for security issues you might not always think of.
Fun app demos, unfortunately I couldn't get mine to work, though that was no fault of anyone but me.
Great live-coding demo of how to do both acceptance and unit tests in Laravel by someone who clearly knows this stuff inside and out.
Colin presented solutions to real world challenges, in a practical and lighthearted way. It was helpful to see how he used Eloquent to solve specific use-case problems.
