Talk comments
Detailed Technical talk. Much better than the last talk. The "Secondary Slides" he talked about wasn't in his presentation which made the presentation seem to flow lots better. In addition, his ability to live demo an application is stronger than just presenting from slides.
This time the text on the black background was much easier to read because he increased the size of his text to like 30 characters on a line.
The detailed explanation of XHProf was very helpful as also was the neat tricks with memcache. The talk was a little long but worth it.
Great Job.
Kudos on providing poker chips
Great demo. Surprised you didn't mention HATEAOS.
the topic inspired a lot of good interaction at the end. also, star wars.
Good information, i would just suggest some work on your slides to make them a bit more relevant to the topic you are speaking about at the time. Good job thought, keep working on this talk and it will come together.
Absolutely AWESOME!
I did not really understand much about APIs prior to this talk, and his demonstration made it really clear what the difference is between just moving JSON and actually creating a Hypermedia/Truly RESTful API. The opening with all the specs seemed a bit slow, but he leveraged them well in the second part of his talk.
Great content! The demonstration was enlightening and demonstrated the point of the talk very well. Vance also has a very monotonic voice making the excitement level in the room kinda low. He was very considerate of those who couldn't see his code and text on the screen and adjusted it accordingly. Very well done.
Excellent speaker - relaxed on stage. Knew his content well. Very enjoyable.
