ZendCon 2017

Session was a live demo of step-by-step setup of a stack on Digital Ocean. While this is interesting, it doesn't match the advertised session description. I was interested in learning about strategies to failover among cloud platforms. That info was not to be found here.

As always I found your talk to be very intellectually stimulating! I thought you did a great job keeping us interested and moving forward without over-talking any particular aspect.

For once I thought this tech talk could have used a little LESS focus on code, as this was a more esoteric talk about coding approaches and the benefits of minimalism. The code examples of an evolution might have been better served by discussing more specific design patterns that emerged naturally. But some good design lessons in here nonetheless.

You are quite convincing, in your plea for me not to fear regular expressions. But, I still do fear them. I think I always will. Thanks for the talk.

Good talk about migrating to php 7 and tool recommendations, good advice. Misleading title though.

Great talk showing off new cross compiler with impressive demos. Thought the talk was not much about the title /description. Great talk anyways

See my comments for the morning session. I attended the full day. The material was useful to me personally. Christian's manner of presenting was both comfortable and polished.

This talk was both authoritative and useful. Great explanation of test-taking strategies for the certification test. Good overview of the PHP language in general, as expected, focused on the level of information needed for the certification exam. I found it particularly useful that Christian highlighed what is specific to PHP 7.1.

Lots of tools given (and partially demonstrated) to help automated the switch from PHP 5.x to 7.0. A lot of it was stuff I'd already known, as I'd done some research on this before arriving, but the tools given were so helpful that the talk was well worth it. Lots of expertise shown.

Good workshop and introduction to PHPUnit and setup, with a lot of hands-on tips that helped a lot. Only embarassing snafu was when he wound up getting into a long (20-minute) snarl with Mockery's syntax and had to take help from the class to fix it. But even with that, it gave some solid practices.
