A good keynote, covering both sides of the mentor/mentee relationship from a man who understands the importance of such relationships both formally and informally from his own experience
Perhaps a shade too much about his own experience and lessons learned
I think this was my favourite talk of the conference. A very important issue, honestly discussed & mixed with some fascinating history & interesting programming! Daan is a fantastic speaker, the whole audience was engaged the entire time. A fantastic way to end the two days!
This was a fantastic introduction to, Angular JS, the Angular-UI ecosystem and Ionic. Wilk is an entertaining speaker and I came out of the talk actually understanding how Angular works!
Great intro to the future of JS!
Great talk Rachel! I enjoyed this one, and I appreciated the range of things you demoed - from the stuff that is in browsers & can be used today, right up to the coming-soon-maybe stuff!
Pratik is a great speaker, and this talk covered a ton of stuff. A few of the slides were a little out of date (React.renderComponent is now just React.render, React.createElement instead of React.DOM.div) but this was a great introduction to React & the ecosystem!
I really enjoyed this talk, lots of great info & exploration of the edge cases.
Great ending of the conference. Just the right amounts of jokes, information and personal experience. Although like others said the rhythm or flow can be a bit better I really enjoyed it!
Good speaker. I am pretty enthusiastic about improving page load speeds and especially server side. What I kinda missed in this talk were some standard pitfalls people forget about. I know finding the bottlenecks in your application is important and you have to improve your code yourself but some short examples would've been nice.
A tip for the speaker: watch out with the amount of details about how to install / configure / use tools. I think it's better to referrer to a online tutorial in your slides then to show it in your talk. In your talk it's more useful to show what value the tool adds.
Because of this you kinda lost me in the beginning. Halfway through I think the talk got a lot better and at some point when the shitstorm of tips and tricks came you saved the talk!
The focus on "The Art of Asking" seemed quite appropriate after Josh's opening keynote; and while the talk wasn't particularly focused or structured, it deserves at least four stars simply for recommending Amanda Palmer's book
