jsDay 2013

I love your talks! You should give two talks a year!

Good talk. Learned a lot. Still not sure if all these changes in the language are really needed, but at least now I know what to expect ;)

Taken the title of the presentation "The anatomy of an infographic" I was expecting somewhat of a more high-level talk on how one chooses the right type of diagram convention for the right kind of data.

This being said, reading the abstract would have helped with my expectations. The talk started off pretty well and I learned a trick or two. Unfortunately, I got lost in my thoughts once the pace of live coding went down a bit.

All in all, this could have been a very interesting topic. I mean, rewriting IE in Java is a crazy idea that I'd love to hear about more.

But unfortunately the talk was kind of underwhelming. The conversational talks with questions and answers between two presentators get annoying really quickly.

The first 10 minutes of JavaScript WTF are certainly entertaining to non-JS devs, but not to JS devs. We've been there too and stopped thinking that it's fun a long time ago ;)

Towards the end, there were some things that I didn't know, taken that I never do such things, e.g. scoping of usage of eval in a setTimout and some of the purely HTML related problems.

This being said: I hope to hear that talk about that crazy idea of rewriting a browser in Java.

Nice presentation. I was expecting more of "So you've never written a jQuery plugin" kind of talk, but that's just my expectations ;)

I learned s.th. and remained interested for most of the talk.

Maybe 45 minutes might have been better than an hour.

I was kind of looking forward to this talk. Yet I wasn't too overwhelmed. Generally speaking, I liked the approach of the live coding, but I would have loved to learn a bit more about the general picture of writing components.

Questions like the following ones remain pretty much unanswered:

* When is it a good idea to write a component?
* When is it a bad idea?
* How do I need to reason about the component?
* How do I bundle a component to make it reusable (CSS + JS)
* ...

I loved your talk and learned a lot. To me, this was the most interesting talk of the entire conference. I've always wondered how these JIT compilers function.

It remains magic, but the fear is gone ;)

Thank you for this talk.
