Talk comments
The talk had more information on the non-profit program than the actual abstract. While I think that the program's goal is good and respectable, it was confusing on what we were supposed to get out of the talk. Figure out the specific goal(s) for the talk.
Using detailed scenarios that you and your teachers in the program have been through with the students may be a good way to tell the story of growth.
The content of the talk was excellent and quite funny and other than a few flubs well given
I would echo other comments on asking for some slide improvements
There was WAY too much text on slides and always use white background/black text for code in super large fonts (projectors are unkind to code in general)
Good talk, alot of highlight content toward the end that can help people know what to learn next
Not much content about the actual topic
Doing a talk on iterators isn't easy since it's such a dry topic. Great way make iterators interesting.
Great talk, lively and energetic. Lots of good information. Sorry about not getting the time notice to you. I thought you saw me.
Great talk. Lots of good information on what to log, how, and, most importantly, how to best leverage the information you've collected.
Great high level introduction to a variety of caching strategies and their relative strengths and weaknesses.
If this were the only talk I'd attended, I would consider the conference worthwhile. Get out and talk to people is advice that everyone needs, and us developers perhaps a little more so. Involve yourself in a community to prove your skills, so obvious in hindsight, but tell me any way. I can take it. Get a teacher, find a buddy, teach someone. Thank you, Yitz.
Would go see again and again. Much better than Cats.
Pro: calm, orderly, tested advice, critically important message
Con: quotes in original language, distracting beard-on-mic noises
The information on composer was quite good and I did learn a few things. I'd argue that this level of talk would be better aimed at absolute composer newcomers, since there wasn't a lot of new information for more advanced or mid-level usage.
I'd also LOVE to have a slide with a table comparison of the different version constraint characters so you could see a side by side look at them, it was hard to grasp everything without that overall view.
I would second the other comment that if this is meant for a more advanced talk - some more information for application and package authors would be really useful.
