OpenWest Conference 2013
2 - 4 May 2013 at Utah Valley University

What would you have liked to see? We did talk about backbone a little bit, though questions weren't really asked. If you're interested in something during the talk, speak up. Were you looking for a roadmap talk about how to build applications using HTML 5?

Sorry about the demo not working, that upset me greatly. I fought with it for 45 minutes before the talk even started, but to no avail.

This class was very disappointing. The title is "Building HTML5 Applications..." and yet HTML5 was barely even mentioned. It appeared in a view presentation slides, and was briefly mentioned a couple of times. The only thing that even remotely touched on the capabilities of HTML5 was a question asked by an attendee. The stuff that was presented in the class (related to JBoss, Forge, etc.) was also low in quality because the presenter crash his Java environment before hand.

Thanks for the feedback guys. @JLW: Event-driven wasn't the only criteria for doing this in node. Javascript popularity, ease of install and learning, and the amazing community as well. But again, there are MANY arguments against using node so you could still be right :-)

Great talk, learned a ton. Are you going to get your slides posted?

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.

This presentation was interesting and done very well. The presenter was well-prepared, professional and affable. Mixing in examples with code snippets was very nicely done. It was very easy to follow and stay interested.

As previous comments mentioned, the project was not working. I think he did just about as well as he could considering the circumstances. I would suggest that if this happens again (hopefully it doesn't), that maybe he could try writing code on the whiteboard.

Kudos for even making this session at all beneficial when your original presentation idea was impossible.

She was well-prepared and very professional. I learned a lot of interesting things from this session, and I consider myself a good manager of time.

The only disappointment is that I was expecting the presentation to focus on managing time within an organization/project that lacks a project manager.

The presenter was well-prepared. His presentation was professional. Even though this was on a fairly basic level, I still learned a couple of interesting things.
