Talk comments
Diverse and interesting subject. I like Adam, he's such an entertaining speaker. It was suppose to be intermediate sessions but I felt it was more beginner.
Fun!
A good talk marred by some tech issues and maybe a little too much meandering. I absolutely loved the fractal demos and the discussion of performance toward the end, though! I would have loved it if there was more content like that in the talk. Still very inspiring!
A great emotional and intellectual track through the life of software engineering.
I came away with some things that I definitely want to harden on my infrastructure and learned about a range of new threats and mitigations. My only criticism is that the speaker spent too much time covering things I think everyone already knew (e.g. "this is what Apache is"), which took up time that could have been spent elsewhere. In particular, I would have been more interested in hearing specifics about his tips for hardening PHP and Apache. Still a really good talk, though!
Sammy's a great speaker! He presented a very use case oriented way to look at building your applications. The hidden gem of this talk is that it showed a way to learn about how frameworks that you're less familiar with solve similar problems.
Christian Valera clearly demonstrates expertise in this area. His session was engaging. I only wish I had been more prepared to follow along with the steps he took - a lot of it was live (which was fantastic) - too bad those parts aren't included in the slides as videos, or several screenshots.
A really interesting talk that made me think both about the tools I was using and the approach I have to building APIs. There's definitely a lot to take away from this, my only criticism is that it seemed like there was almost too much content to cover in the allotted time.
One of my favorite talks so far. The teacher was very organized and engaging, had excellent slides, and pointed us to some great resources. I went in rather skeptical of the premise of the talk but came out convinced of its merits. The speaker said repeatedly that he wanted us to feel empowered and I certainly do, particularly with regard to modernizing legacy apps with new components from Packagist/Composer.
Geek only allowed. This session was great. Different then every usual session we are use to. The speaker clearly was a passionate and he successfully triggered interest with the crowd. The content was precise and delivered in a perfect pace.
