Thanks Matthew! You got me up and running with HAL. Knew only little about it and now I know quite a bit more. You made it clear that HAL+JSAON/XML is the next level in API programming.
The exercises helped a lot and I will repeat the onxe more this week when I process all the info that I have taken in these three days.
This was a truly great speaker.
Very interesting talk.
I liked the talk, but the first time that set_quote_sql_str popped up on the screen, I had to wince a little bit :-)
A pretty interesting talk, but the iterations were quite hard to follow for the later examples. I much prefer sorting visualisations like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8g-iYGHpEA
Great introduction. Really liked the way Travis setup his presentation. Will look into Django for sure!
This guy knows what he is talking about ... a part from being a great speaker!
Was really looking forward to this talk. Shame it was rushed and didn't really learn anything new. It's clear David is an expert on the subject but he didn't manage to show the audience.
Not a great opening keynote: the ones of the next day would have been a lot better for the conference as an opening keynote.
Nice and pleasant way of speaking but the message of one web was brought confusingly and with to many words. It just took too long.
If you're gonna use NLP: don't tell us.
If people don't know a line of a song doesn't mean they don't know the song or the artist. To make this conclusion is unfair and not funny. Ok, I laughed, and other people did too, but my laughs were ones of discomfort and politeness: not the greatest way to be "funny" though successful for some people (that I don't like).
I wasn't bored or even angry or anything. I just did not get inspired or learned anything and did not see how anybody else could have.
