Too basic and I feel like I was tricked by the title.
Maybe is not just Jonathan's fault, they should also put the talk level on the agenda.
Btw I think Jonathan has great chances to become a great speaker.
Great talk. I know I caught some of it, and I'm better off than before. But some of it also went over my head.
I haven't touched REST yet.
It would be great to listen to this again after I've been working with REST for a few months. I think more of it would click in at that point in time.
I really enjoyed this talk. The tools offered for this were incredible and RAML is a really powerful way to quickly prototype an API. I'm developing an API for public use and will absolutely be using the information I got from this talk.
My favorite line, and one that really resonated with me was, "Carpenters use blueprints. They've been doing it for a long time. Why don't we?"
This was really cool. 5/5 would attend again.
Excellent!
very good presentation
This talk duplicated a lot of the content from last year's keynote. I loved that keynote, but I was hoping for something a little more fresh this year. I also felt like the conclusion was largely a complaint about how the users prevented you from rolling out a useful tool. This didn't strike me as particularly productive, and I would have liked to hear more about how you are going to address that issue going forward.
The content was good, and the examples were strong. My only criticism is on presentation skills. Your nervousness showed, and as a result some of the demos weren't quite as smooth as they could have been. This will improve with practice, and I'd highly recommend checking out this talk to get some additional tips about giving technical talks:

Really great overview of a service oriented architecture by someone who has been in the trenches and done it.
