Excellent overview of the history of HTTP and what new features are part of HTTP/2. Plenty of useful examples of how it works as well as tools to help log and work with the requests.

First of all thank you so much for getting up there and speaking. I know it's really a challenge to put yourself out there and I appreciate the effort you put into it.

Like others have stated I would have loved to see a lot more focus on explaining the microservices concept you were demonstrating. Perhaps you could talk about some of the downfalls of having your user system inside a monolithic application and how having it function as a separated microservice would work.

I also think having some diagrams and other supporting visuals would help with the docker component. As someone who is familiar with docker it wasn't difficult to follow, but I can see how it might be extremely confusing to someone who is wondering why you chose docker for your microservices deployment strategy.

Finally I would encourage you to break some of your content into multiple slides and really show the progression of your development process. The very heavy text-based slides seemed to distract you in your talk which was doubly distracting for the audience.

Keep it up, I hope you refine and present this topic again soon!

I enjoyed this talk. You obviously have a passion about HTTP ("in case you want to argue about RFCs, as you do") and you know this topic well. The only thing I was disappointed about was I feel like a little too much time was spent on the background of HTTP/1 and the HTTP/2 part was rushed to accommodate the timeslot. I would have loved to see more about HTTP/2 in the talk.

That said the content was great and I thought the examples you used showing the benefits of server push were excellent. I hope to see this talk again.

Excellent overview of what oauth(2) is and how it works from a client perspective - excellent speaker and good slides

The one suggestion I would give is to maybe dig a little deeper into oauth from a provider prospective as well as a consumer, and also discuss some of the shortcomings of oauth with things like non-web clients (phone app that consumes apis, for example) and some of the ways you can mitigate these shortcomings

Great energy and enthusiasm in the delivery as always, with some really concrete advice on how to get started.

Speaker seemed scattered in spots, and there was a point in the latter half of the talk where it seemed to drag a bit, but overall it was definitely interesting and well put-together. Retro slide deck was awesome.

Loved this talk.

Some better discussion of the purpose and interaction between the two codes that the provider gives you.

Thanks for the 100 grand!

This was perfect. Seeing not only TDD but katas really cleared up the purpose and the process of the Test Driven Development process. I hadn't really seen what Red, Green, Refactor, Repeat looks like stripped of the abstract description.

Next year, I really need to find a hand-on session with PHPUnit. Could use some time with someone who really gets installation on the Mac.

Even with difficulty understanding the speaker, I found it very informative and got some good insights on logging. Thank you!

I caught the last half but everything that I heard was good. It was presented well also.
