PHP Quebec Recap

PHP Quebec was an educational and entertaining conference as expected. The PHP Quebec User Group does a great job organizing the conference each year.

My talk, Agile PHP Testing, was very well received. I think KISS might be the missing ingredient that we need to ignite a testing revolution in the PHP community. Most people who approached me after the talk appreciated the simplicity of using test-more.php with no testing framework at all. I think they also appreciated knowing that using TAP allows them to "upgrade" later.

Although the slides are much less valuable without commentary, a PDF is available:

Here are the other slides that have been posted (to my knowledge):

I've also posted my pictures from the conference. If you look closely, you'll see a t-shirt of Wezzy Wezbourne that was quite popular (and funny).

Au revoir et merci!

Thanks for sharing your slides. I read them, but it's not clear to me. Is the testing system ready to be used, or is there still more to do -- how much more?

Thanks,

Chris
