Great job. My only challenge was that I wasn't familiar with all the many many techniques you covered, which made it feel like it was going a bit too fast.

Really liked this talk! Would like to see a presentation some day on Tribal management...will be purchasing that book, as I can see it applicable for my team.

Good presentation, I liked the business model. I think it would have helped at the end of your slides to give a couple of examples of a designed architecture (minus the actual product technologies used); I think that would tie the presentation to the coding world a bit more strongly.

The subject is interesting but the slides are lacking technical content/examples.

Also the talk is hard to follow when English is not your mother language because the speaker talks really fast and slides (or lack of) won't help catching up.

Great Presentation. Very useful and the slides not only are a support for the speech but are also self-explanatory.

Good intro to elastic search. I would have liked to see more ways to do queries, as I find the elasticsearch docs aren't very great around it. But there is a ton of information to cover in not much time, so I understand why you couldn't go into more depth.

I really enjoyed the talk, great amount of technical information which I wasn't expecting, but was a pleasant surprise.

I enjoyed the talk, it was insightful. Joe used a technology stack that I hadn't seen used before which included Bottle, couchDB and ElasticSearch. Joe was very well spoken and the topics flowed well. Joe also took the time to explain some of his technology choices, for example he spoke of why he chose the Bottle microframwork over Django, Flask and Tornado.

Areas to improve on:
- more code, maybe an paired down opensource version of the Edinburgh festival API that people can hack around with
- The statements XML is better than JSON for x or vice versa, are highly debated, a Google search will make this fact clear. I'm not saying I'm disagreeing with Joe's opinion, but more explanation here as to why he's of that opinion would have been helpful.
- More details into Hypermedia and how to do it the right way.
- Point out some example of how Flickr et. al. are doing REST the wrong way.

Thanks Joe!

Excelent as usual, keep up the good work

Dynamic, interesting and useful talk that covered what it promised. Thanks!
