Very interesting stuff. Very well presented. I'll be on the lookout for the slides.

I only caught part of this talk, but I really liked the slide with the 21 usability maxims from 1997. Thanks!

I only caught the tail end of this talk, but I enjoyed the bit on saying "no" vs saying "yes, but".

Well structured talk. I liked the example code that showed the wrong way to write PHP. We can all relate. I liked that you focused on a few very practical (and simple) steps to start refactoring.
I also liked how you shared reasons for not rewriting the whole thing.

I wanted to hear some spy stories though :)

Good, fun, informative talk. I liked the command line stuff you showed, and info on wireshark. thanks!

Evan did a good show. He's really good with words and gets the message throught. I put on a 3 star because this session was flaged as "Advanced" and I had hoped for more. This was more beginner oriented, pitfalls to advoid when starting a new app.

Superb explanation of MVC (the best I've ever been exposed to). I especially like the presentation of breaking the model into distinct pieces. This session alone was worth the trip.

I realize I may have been in the minority in catching and/or appreciating the humor, but it was AWESOME.

I recall a series of 6...somethings that I don't remember what they are, but I do recall thinking that their implementations seemed very similar, so the intricacies about when to use which method have been lost on me.

Also, there was a typo in one of the slides that made me wonder if the code presented was accurate in all of the other slides.

Overall, though, lots of good DI information and how/why to use it.

Lots of great information. We ordered the book and are fully planning to follow this process for our app.
