CodeWorks 2009 (Dallas)
26 - 27 Sep 2009 at Dallas, Tx

Cal had a lot of subject matter to cover, and blew right through it without making it seem rushed. His examples for each Design Pattern were very easy to understand.

A great introductory to CouchDB and MemcacheDB, and associated software. I would like to see more real world examples or personal experience with these DBs in your next presentation.

This is a topic that you rarely find a spoke on, but it is very critical in many projects. Brian is very informed and interacted/handled many great questions. I would say make the slides content a little smaller, one time I started to read and we moved right along.

The information was very necessary for any web developer to know. The slides were clean and easy to read. You may want to trim some of the slides or really push through the slides. I felt this talk requires more than the allotted 1 hr to get everything out of it.

The presentation was great, and I enjoyed the interaction with the group. Being able to review local developers code was also great.

I enjoyed this tutorial session very much. I followed along during the live coding session and was able to write unit tests immediately for my own project. Jason demonstrated a deep level of knowledge about unit testing and was a great presenter overall.

Excellent examination of important email process characteristics that internet tutorials almost always gloss over. Lots of great details.

This was one of my favorite talks at CodeWorks; very useful info! I wish there would've more time reserved for it - an hour wasn't enough.

Good review of non-RDBMS databases; enjoyed the talk!

For me this was a good intro to unit testing. Some of the content went over my head, but enough stuck so that when I fire up SimpleTest or PHPUnit, the information I learned from the talk will certainly come handy.
