Great first talk reminding us that we need to strive to be understanding rather than to be right ;-P Well done
Ross is a talented speaker, experienced developer and a very friendly person.
His workshop was very well prepared: He sent a survey about what we expect from the workshop a few weeks before, and I was very happy to see that he worked hard to meet these expectations.
The demo project Ross choose, "Laracats", was funny but seriously approached to every detail, which was a perfect combination.
One think I would like to see is more subjects covered, by using the time from some not so relevant conversations started by some attendees. Also a personal preference would be not to have the "chose your adventure" question.
The workshop was one of the best experiences I had during the conference and I would definitively recommend Ross Tuck for your next workshop! (you won't regret it!)
Very practical talk that includes advices on how to write clean code on daily basis. Usually having a few slides and lot of code and demos means that talk will be hard to follow but not this time. It was clear from the beginning to the end which is really hard to achieve. Highly recommended.
Great talk, very interesting theme, useful to developers/business people/clients, very well executed. Every party involved in software development can take valuable information from this talk.
Good overview of the most important parts of git. The live demos were great!
Spark looks interesting and Taylor is a great speaker but I was expecting more from this talk. There were some missed opportunities to talk about international issues like different currencies, languages, etc. Stripe isn't that useful in Europe were most people don't use or own credit cards.
It would've also been nice if some time was spend on talking about the state of the framework itself. How is it doing, upcoming features and improvements, areas of interest, etc. I think a lot of people would've been interested in that and there seemed to be enough time for it.
I enjoyed this talk immensely. While many talks are standing on the shoulders of giants, Konstantin has a unique ability to create new insights/knowledge, seemingly out of thin air. His unique perspective and ability to transform experiences into transferable knowledge makes it such a joy to attend.
The talk was nicely broken down into increasingly more technically challenging concepts. As a speaker I have immense respect for how Hannes recovered from a somewhat slow start. In next versions of this talk I'd suggest to explore the last section a bit more, get into it deeper. This will force the ending to be a little shorter, which is ok, people should know those n00b things by now. The one things that would really need to change is the explanation of the virtual package, probably just a one time run through of the process once will give you enough knowledge to be able to remove any question surrounding this concept.
Always a pleasure and jammed full of fun, feeling and great content, many thank for a great talk
Great final talk. Agreed wholeheartedly with the message. Entertaining too! ;)
