In-depth information with relatable examples. Walking through the code made understanding them much easier.

It was an inspiring and captivating talk--I could relate to aspects and inspired new reflections on my own experience in open source. Thank you for sharing.

Inspirational and motivating talk; thanks for sharing your story Gary.

Great talk Larry, great insights, nice to not be always rediscovering the wheel!

Learned a few new things I had never heard of before! Always a good reminder to be prioritizing this in the initial design process.

Very nicely presented. Good pace with each facet, starting with the 'basics' of a relational database and then outlining how graph-db is different. It was a great walk through, and the live demo of using it. One critique...Besides making it easier to query related data, I would have liked more reasons why one would want to use graph-db. But maybe that's a different topic.

Very cool system and good examples. Hard to make it not a bit of a sales pitch but it wasn't heavy-handed. Definitely about the tech vs the provider. Looking forward to exploring this more.

Ed's an experienced speaker and it shows.

I got a lot out of this talk. Being very new to writing tests, I got some good staring points. Especially in the final slides.

Would have liked speaker to start session with the What/Why, like an overview detailing what will be covered. Instead he just seemed to dive right in, which had some great stuff. But not having stated an overview I kept wondering where this was going.

Also this is a bit nit picky but speaker kept correcting himself. Maybe he was nervous. Repeatedly said, "I should have better examples". Next time just have better examples.

Great presentation; I want to graph-db the hell out of all the datas now!

Walkthrough of how they migrated a tricky legacy app. Lots of useful tools mentioned with brief examples of each. Based on the talk name I expected this to be all about the Strangler Pattern, but it wasn't at all.

A number of acronyms and more advanced topics referenced though, possibly a middle-level talk instead? Some of the code samples assumed some framework knowledge.
