Talk comments
Awesome talk. I've been contributing to Drupal 8, but this is the first time I've seen how all of this fits together. As somebody more front-endy, this talk made me feel like I could try building a module some time. Very empowering talk!
Really liked this talk. Got me interested in giving Docker a try. I'm fuzzy on a couple of details, but interested to explore more.
Strong introduction to Docker why and how.
This talk gave me a really good appreciation for our sysadmin and a little more confidence to use some of these tools myself. Very well done!
Good, straightforward introduction. Natural and easy delivery of the presentation. A little too much time spent on static typing.
Really enjoyed the use of videos in this talk. Solid introduction. Especially liked the parts that celebrated how accessibility helped to empower people.
My expectations for this talk were that I would learn what was new is ES6. The main things I got from this talk were that you could do OO and functional programming in ES6, but that functional programming was superior.
Early on in the talk the speaker asked the audience if anybody was using dependency injection or if they were using global variables. He then commented that the second group that raised their hands, and anybody who didn't, "was doing it wrong." That might be technically correct, but it didn't feel like a very good way to raise people up so they feel like they are leaving the talk having learned more when the talk started.
Felt like the speaker assumed that the audience knew as much as he did about the subject, in which case, why would we need to attend the talk? The example shown was also very complicated, and it was unclear which elements of the example had anything to do with ES6.
Maybe this is on me, but I felt pretty low after listening to this talk, and I skipped the Saturday social hour because this talk left such a bad taste in my mouth. Really disappointed and mildly traumatized by the experience.
Wow, a one-star anonymous troll review. Grow up, indeed.
Solid talk, delivered what it promised. Kudos to Garfield and others who have worked hard to transition Drupal out of its particularistic, procedural roots. As a former Drupal dev (from 4.6 -> 6), it looks attractive to return to next time I have CMS needs.
