Probably the best presentation of ConFoo 2012 in Montreal. Was very informative and useful for those dealing with large scale infrastructures and high traffic. I would definitely suggest for any developers to attend any of David's future sessions!

Excellent over view of the state of things. I tend to get fairly far removed from where the security problems are, and talks like your's are a pretty good refresher. Very well organized and informative. Your examples were also quite helpful.

The presentation is available here: http://prezi.com/xbuumbxaxskx/cms-20-are-we-there-yet/

I worked hard to make it stand alone and make sense when viewed by itself. I hope you like it.

Felt the user had difficulties talking or breathing, had a lot of trouble motivating the audience i think and finished early. Good but not better sadly...

A very helpful introduction to Redis. I'm interested in trying it out, even if I am never able to use it in a project.

I got a bit confused with some of the functions called; maybe a live example would have helped.

Jordi tends to mumble a bit, and his voice gets quiet at the end of sentences (I have some hearing loss, so I notice this), so it would be helpful if he worked on his presentation.

Awesome talk - very well done and speaker was very knowledgeable about the subject. Gives a good overview and basis of the useful HTML5 and related technologies to use in real world situations and on mobile devices, along with all the benefits and drawbacks of each approach.

Summary of what SOLR works and what it can do. Nice examples on how to build faceted search.
It's good to know that well-known websites are currently using SOLR in their websites.
Personally, thank you for the tip on how to make the .pdf files searchable.

So much valuable insights, this was the talk I was looking for to hammer these thoughts, so that I start to act on these. Thank you so much for sharing this.
