Angular.js, making web development easy

I'm glad this wasn't my first exposure to Angular. I felt bad for my coworkers that were seeing it for the first time. I think a large portion of the elegance Angular brings was missed. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to present.

Anonymous: I'm sorry the preso didn't live up to your expectations. Thanks for your feedback...

Good job sean! I think you did great!!! Thanks for preparing! I was up close so I could hear you well, but you do talk pretty quiet. No problem though good job!

It might be hard for me to be really unbiased about this presentation because not only did it focus on my newest techno crush, angular js, but i also saw Sean shine during his html5 game workshop where i got to really see him and angular in action. All I can say is, good work!

Sean was a good speaker, but I didn't get much out of this talk. I feel like we spent too much time talking about scope and some underpinnings of Angular, instead of seeing exactly why it's cool and why we should use it. The main example was a date field that would guess the date you were trying to input, but I feel like it would be the same amount of code (or less!) to do this using onchange and straight-up DHTML. Plus we barely saw any code. Still, I hope to see Sean present again, just maybe change up the focus next time.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

JLW: I probably should have spent a bit more time explaining that me and Joe colluded before the conference as he was doing an angular presto as well. He was going to be talking almost exclusively about the "Why?", so we decided to switch times allowing him to use his presentation to explain the benefits of angular, and go through the sales pitch. My presentation then became exclusively the "how?". I followed the book,and also the sites outline for the concepts most important to getting started with angular, but agree that I focused to much on the first two principles. I opened up the presentation, and seemed to be getting a lot of questions that kept me at scope. Anyway, I appreciate your attendance and feedback, this was my first conference presentation and I definitely feel like I learned a whole lot more about presenting than most learned about angular. Thanks for the focused feedback, I know it will help me improve when I end up giving another conference presentation.

I would have never guessed that was your first conference presentation. I wish I hadn't been so scathing now!

Maybe next year they'll be able to make it more clear which talks build on others and which ones are exact duplicates, because I got bitten by a few of these. But yeah, I was just looking for a little more about what kind of problems Angular can solve, and more code. Thanks though. It was definitely a start.
