Talk comments
Ross did a great job. He explained HTTP status codes and header fields in a way that made everyone laugh. The slides were kinetic and entertaining, and he was obviously very well-prepared. A+++, would attend again!
Great presentation & energy level. You ended with plenty of time to spare, so some things I might suggest include going into a bit more detail about Evernote up front (for those who don't know as much about its features), and talking more about some of the research practices, as Chris also commented, such as personas, scenarios, and usability testing. I think the follow-up question to your talk about some of those aspects of research provided a lot of value.
Bonne intro à la cryptographie. Drole, mais je crois que les yourmama joke et alusion au porn n'étaient pas nécéssaires.
Fantastic
Great presentation, very fluent and gives great hints at how to model the domain correctly!
Great session with just the right level of detail. The presentation itself flowed well and keep my attention the whole time.
A large part of the talk is more or less a Backbone introduction, which does not really justify the 'real-time' in the title. Very little information about the real-time aspect. The demo application is not a particularly good example of a rich application. Speaker needs a lot more practice - essentially just reading from slides and going over a multitude of concepts very quickly.
To do a better job it should focus on a particular topic - either the real-time mechanisms or the caching framework or Backbone but not all of the, at once.
Modeling is kind of a dry topic, but Alex has a great delivery style. The presentation had a pragmatic focus, and I could see myself using the techniques presented. Nice work!
