Well prepared, proper English (native speaker), funny at times, tons of information. One thing I learned, to give an example, was that you can make comments in RegEx when using the 'e' flag.

Mr. Evans (I consider myself one of the 'Kids' he addressed his talk to) shared a lot of his experiences. I liked the 'progress' texts in his slides; e.g. 'Time to wake up your neighbor' :) You'd hear and see he's done a lot of talks. He stands there confident and makes a joke every now and then. I think his performance was good. It's just that I disagree with the contents because the talk was so money-oriented. I also don't get the 'speakers spend like $1500 on a talk'. To me it seems that people who've given talks get a LOT of exposure, which results in many tangible and untangible outcomes. In the end everybody has to decide for themselves whether it's worth a time / travel / energy investment, I think. One of his lines was to 'maximize profit' when working and that the relation between a company and an employee is like a transaction. I really missed the emotional point of view, and felt there was a big focus on profit and money, which I didn't feel comfortable about. In case I misinterpreted the gist of the talk, I'd really like to know. (and if so, I'd be happy to change this rating)

Nice end to a great conference.

Good for the younger crowd to hear.

What an interesting idea. I am still thinking of applications to try this - and will.
Thanks,

Thanks Alan,
Just moved an eCommerce site over to Magneto 2 and putting all the pieces together - well trying to anyway.
Great information.

Thank you for your comment at the end regarding other coder's work, i.e. don't poo poo someone else's work - have respect for it. I shared this with my team.
I totally agree. Like you said, you don't know the situation, or why they came to using that code, so you can't really comment negatively on it. Use it for your own knowledge, but never be negative.
We are all in this together.
Thanks man,
Mullins

Great talk.
I shared this information with my team 1st thing Monday morning.
Thanks,
Mullins

Well that cleared a lot up for me.
I can see how this is the future of hosting.
Great presentation.
Cheers,
Mullins

This was really an innovative idea.
Opens up possibilities.
I am coming from the customizes code world to frameworks (OK backwards to many, but I was around before frameworks).
This showed me how the two methods can play together.
Cheers,
Mullins
