Talk comments

This was very interesting. You clearly explained some different approaches to unit testing (testing only results versus testing messages). I really liked the way in which smelly tests were actually turned into evidence that one of the SOLID principles was being violated.

I'm moderately familiar with the subject, which helped a lot. You did a great job discussing so many theoretical subjects in 45 minutes.

I don't think that live coding was such a big problem (it went quite well ;). However, I would have liked to see more. It's a great idea to only take very little steps, which is particularly helpful when you don't have tests (and you don't intend to write them). It's just nice to see all the little steps that are part of a true refactoring process. But many times I wished you would take somewhat bigger steps, in order to get to the next point.

Enjoyed the presentation! Well presented :)

This was more of a long lecture than an actual tutorial ;) You had some nice examples about the way you applied DDD in your project, but I would have liked the tutorial to be much more practical (about half of the time I want to actually do something, whether it's writing code, discussing something, or figuring something out).

One other thing: the use of a Vagrant box wasn't really necessary, I downloaded the project with the code samples and that was sufficient to follow along (no need to do a vagrant up).

on DDD IRL

Found it to be an interesting talk. Just knowing about the existence of the WASP and ASVS, learning that ASVS 2013 is ready/acceptable for real-life use, and the lesson about automated tools always falling short made it worth going. I agree with some of the comments here that a few more practical examples would have been nice.

One sidenote: we trust in the conference organisation to put people on stage who know what they're talking about, no need to convince us further during the talk :)
