Good talk about a sensitive subject.

At some times the talk was static, too much standing behinding the laptop.

Keep up the good work on telling about Ni Mu and this subject!

It was a interesting talk. But instead of doing a live demo I would had like to see a more insight in how Coosto had realized this and why they had choosen to do so.

And why talking about a tool that only Coosto uses and at this moment is not open source.

Liked the personal touch in the slides. Could see the time it has cost to prepare.
Good talk which was a eye opener at sometime for me.

Good story, lots of energy.

Good starting point for story mapping. However, I found the presentation itself a little boring. Move a way from desk once in a while to prevent a static posture.

Really strong talk! I could recognize myself in many of the examples that were told.

Just a good talk which brought me up to speed with HTTP 2

I've missed the visual presentation, which could had give this talk more a boost. Also, if this talk was in a smaller room, it was easier to understand for me, but in the Forum it lost it's energy.

I found it absolutely refreshing as a keynote, because of the lack of an... actionable message. It was very light and funny, although highly technical when it comes to the VooDoo, and certainly worth watching. "I'm not an inspirational speaker, I'm here to demotivate you" sealed the deal for me! *grin*

This talk has potential, but needs work.
First, some suggested improvements: The slides contained too many lists and bullet points, that didn't really help my understanding of Go. The transitions between subjects seemed a little rough, and therefore hard to follow. And at some points, a lot of effort was put into an explanation (something the speaker ran into and wanted to warn the audience about) that was basically an edge-case and could just as well have been left out (they won't help a beginner because they won't remember the warning by the time they run into the same case).
That being said, this talk is as advertised: a practical introduction to Golang from the perspective of a PHP developer. Richard has experience from building his own application, which is pretty cool too. And on a more personal note: answering "I don't know" to a question takes guts. I'd like to see Richard speak again.
