Great, interesting topic with a real-world implementation (as opposed to the classic websockets demo: the chatroom).
Jeff was visibly nervous (totally normal for the first time speaking in ~15 years), but seemed the most comfortable at the beginning. He may be more comfortable using speaker notes to organize his thoughts while relying less on slides overflowing with information.
The talk could also benefit from a demonstration, perhaps showing the server activity on a local copy of the application as it runs (or similar).
I'm excited to see how this talk will evolve, and hope that Jeff continues to speak at conferences.
Great topic and good, albeit nervous, presentation. Want to echo comments re: speaker notes and a demo. Would've driven the point home if we could have _seen_ the way websockets work. Slides had a lot of information, and Jeff read most of it aloud ... simpler slides (with info on speaker notes instead) would make the presentation much smoother.

I found the topic interesting and I could use in my current job as we have been facing issues with slow AJAX. Overall, enjoyed the talk.
