Talk comments
This was an awesome talk. It got me very interested in the algorithms that drive the social web, which I always thought were completely nebulous and intangible before. Well. They are still nebulous and intangible, but at least I know why now.
The talk was exactly what I expected. Joseph explained the why and how of Continuous Delivery in a startup environment. How to convince skeptics, the benefits and challenges of such an implementation (apparently, all in all, this took one year). Great slides and very good rythm. Answered questions in detail. Just wished he would provide more details on the implementation. I didn't get the names of all the tools/technologies.
Good job Martin!
Very great talk. I use git a lot for work, but did not really understand how it worked. And thanks for the extra help afterward also!
This closing keynote was very enjoyable and impressive! The website has to deal with so many huge amounts of hits (+100M HTTP requests) and data (8 to 15Gb of logs per hour!) a day. It was very interesting to discover the architecture behind the scene with HA Proxy, Varnish, PHP & Symfony, Redis, MySQL... softwares. It also showed that choosing a web framework like Symfony2 doesn't mean killing performances as long as you use a solid architecture in front of it.
The talk was really good but I expected a bit more technical and business details. By chance, we had time to know more at the speakers dinner.
I'm currently a PHP developer but I look forward to learn Objective-C programming language and Cocoa Touch framework to build Apple mobile devices applications. Thank your for this quick overview of the different view controllers and the quick demonstrations.
I think you may improve your presentations with some more real live coding to make it more enjoyable.
I really liked this presentation and was impressed by the huge amount of data you have to process every single day. Very instructive use case that gives us another look at we can do with a PHP environment for a non web application.
Great talk. Tons of content. I have enough reference to browse for weeks. Really motivating way to describe all the upcoming changes and technologies.
