Talk comments
Very useful and the speaker was really personable and knowledgeable.
Good coverage of how to improve the speed of getting data into a database using prepared statements and/or bulk inserts.
Responding to Mihail below, I am the one who asked "Do you breathe?". I think the pace was acceptable - given the slides will be posted, and one can try the process on their own. Margaret also offered her contact info for questions. So I am confident that one could replicate what was presented.
5 thumbs up! Gave a new/improved perspective on value objects as well as how the way the speaker implements/uses them can significantly reduce the amount of testing needed among other benefits.
Switching in and out of presenter mode was rough, but a really nice walk through of TDD.
Great introduction to golang. I've seen it before, it's on my list of languages to play with.
The intension of the speaker was to present a lot of very useful information regarding how to implement continuous development with the help of Jenkins. A lot of material was covered, aiming at presenting a comprehensive all-round solution. However I think that's exactly where the problem was: The format of the talk (50 min regular session) did not fit the scale of the material. Although the speaker undoubtedly has the ability to present it in a very high pace (the first question after the talk was "Do you breathe?"), even finishing 6-7 minutes ahead of schedule, unfortunately I was unable to follow all the way through.
I started with the idea to execute each step along the process, which is my own mistake, I guess. I failed epically. The idea of the talk and the material are perfect for a 2-3 hour tutorial that I would love to attend some day.
Otherwise, I'd like to state that she is a good speaker and has the ability to communicate well with the audience.
A well done and dense look at Laravel capabilities.
Good topic, covered a lot of content.
I'm a Symfony developer, only having looked at Laravel in passing. Based on this presentation, I'll be taking a closer look at Laravel for some of my future projects.
