Talk comments
I think with a bit of work this talk could be better. From the aspect of describing what ScriptEd is and why it's important, I think it's spot on. It holds up well to this and would be a great marketing presentation for getting buy-in from a school or sponsor.
Where it falls down is on actionable items for how we can do this in our own community. While the curriculum is open source there wasn't anything on the talk about that, it actually came up from the questions being asked. I also agree with the comments on some others, as the motivations expressed work well for NYC but maybe no so much Texas.
I thought this was a really good introduction to how to structure and design a talk, as well as points for giving them. Ironically, one of the slides should have been how to manage time, as the talk sped up due to time constraints and the audience adding their own thoughts (which wasn't technically her fault).
Overall the information was spot on and should help any speaker, new or old.
Overall I think the class went well, and the concept itself fits well with the tutorial length. My only complaint is that the suggested kata might have been a bit to high-level. I think swapping out the kata would greatly help.
This was the nudge in the right direction I needed. For someone who's just begun to really concern themselves with deployments this talk was really accessible and easy to follow. If I had to offer any suggestions perhaps, as noted by Elizabeth, just a brief overview of the benefits Capistrano offers vs other services as it may not be totally apparent right away. Other than that great job and congrats on the baby!
Love it! PHPers need to learn MORE computer science history!
Great for a new guy like me.
Perhaps change the title of the talk to "Teaching Kids to Fail with ScritEd - a non-profit organization"
Great talk!
The talk was ideal for me being new to php
and next for next time, perhaps a hoot,
appear on stage with a 10-course lute.
Fun to watch. Wonder what the over/under is on it actually getting published.
