Talk comments
I loved the speakers energy and interaction with the crowd. I felt like there was so much missed about the capabilities of HTML5. Seemed like HTML5 video was rushed and not well explained. Used content from Mark Pilgrims online book, Dive Into HTML 5, but really didn't elaborate. The speaker needs to give more examples and elaborate on everything.....less graphs and articles.
A truly awesome talk on web services. Focused more on strategy/planning and giving reasoning for choices. Great slides and resources.
Not a bad session, but not as in-depth as I would have liked to see. It came across as more of an introduction to jQuery and how to use it's functions to connect to services. It was pretty short and could have used a nice code-based example at the end.
Technical issues definitely slowed you down, but finished strong. I think it was a great example on how to integrate ZF libraries. I feel the talk got bogged down by having too much QA after each point.
It was an entertaining session, but was very light on the content. Most of it could have been summed up in three slides work of info but was pulled out with long examples trying to relate to an audience that already understood most of the technical concepts. Credit to the speaker though for warding off the efforts of a heckler and take it all in stride.
Ultimately I just wanted more of the content and maybe a bit less of the presenter being comedic.
It was an interesting session, but I was left hoping for less pretty graphs and more pretty examples. The presenter did an excellent job of keeping the crowd engaged, though. I was just hoping for a bit more technical detail to it.
Good presentation, would have been even better if 2.2 was released and we could see the code work on the device.
Good information, the live coding section was a bit complicated with all the CLI interaction.
Great presentation about a lot of options. Liked the info about SOAP - have had struggles with it seemingly always.
The information was great, and explanation of personal experience was great. Kept the talk humorous and well detailed. I wanted to see more examples of mysql clusters.
