this was a great introfuction into gearman. I had wanted to look into gearman for a while now and after this presentation I have the feeling I can dive into the deep immediately

@sheeri (me) did a liveblog of what Rasmus said, complete with links to all the tools he mentioned at http://bit.ly/confooCodePerf
This talk lacked much of the underlying technical details of memcached and APC and failed to give much more than absolute beginner surface level examples of how to implement them, which even then you weren't sure on. Way too many "I think" and "I'm not sure" moments. Giving the "speed up" config options then not really being able to back them up with an adequate explanation of what exactly they do was kind of strange.
Very entertaining and well structured. Hit the highlights of HTML5 of what we can start using today.
Great examples of how to scale in different areas and how exactly to do it. Well structured and easy to follow. Gives me a very good sense of where to start with scaling a site and how to build sites the first time with scaling in mind.
Good overview of touching on tools used to solve or troubleshoot certain problems encountered in enterprise development. Good balance between overview of concepts and their technical implementations.
A little jargon-heavy, even after asking who all had used OAuth before (very few.) Very code heavy with implementing features, but kind of useless when breezing through it and the audience doesn't know the API. At the end of the presentation, I got the impression I would be stepping into a world of pain if one of my clients asked for these social features.
Demo on Console was nice and in-depth. Lots of very helpful code examples too.
interesting to see how lithium approaches common web framework problems. presented in a nice and funny way. did not convince me to switch to lithium though ;)
