As someone just starting with Javascript, Vance did a great job sharing his tips and tricks to debugging Javascript effectively. I left that talk feeling more comfortable in a language Im not super comfortable in.

Loved that talk.

I thought Beau's presentation was very clear and easy-to-follow despite the fact that I haven't yet personally worked with containers in my career. He prefaced the discussion by clarifying some terminology (e.g., the differences between Dependency Inversion and Dependency Injection, Inversion of Control, Service Locator, and the very definition of Container itself), then walked through examples of the evolution of writing configuration files for PHP apps.

Through his examples, I learned that Laravel's container seems to be immensely easy to configure compare to other iterations, and that there are some open source packages out there that can assist developers with streamlining their own implementations if they're working with other frameworks such as Symfony.

Very nice, informative talk. Thank you for giving it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Vance did an excellent job presenting technical information about how Node works. His examples were thorough, the flow built up and was understandable. and he kept a good pace. He demonstrated potential pitfalls and gave good references to other support libraries. Great talk.

Mark's presentation was clear and informative. I learned about the four primary types of access control and how user/resource credentials might be stored in and accessed from a database. I appreciated an introduction of the terminology that would be used and the breaks in the presentation to take questions.

To improve this talk, Mark might consider taking the second line from his description ("Determining the ideal model for an application can help ensure proper authorization in application resources.") and turning it into a key takeway/call-to-action for the audience. I think that will help inform future attendees about why they should care about choosing the right implementation.

Overall, nice presentation. Thank you for giving it!

Pretty good talk. I really liked seeing the code examples and comparison between different solutions.

Great talk covering how OMSI grew to change the world. Ed was honest, explained why mental health is so important, and showed where resources are available. Great talk!

Great soft skills talk. I was able to easily relate to the personal experiences Adam shared. I found the stories applicable to the topic. Great life tips on being motivated and learning from past mistakes.
