PFCongres 2013

A nice introduction to REST/HTTP/RESTful and some of the common misunderstandings.
I would have liked the first half of the talk about the history of REST to be a lot shorter: although it does provide a nice understanding of the concepts I found it way too long for the 45-50 minutes.
It did feel like there just wasn't enough time for the more interesting second part of the talk, the part I expected going on the title..

I liked the introduction; we all know we need to document and we all forget (from time to time).
This intro showed that documenting can be very easy and not only helpful for later developers but also for the person writing the code (with regards to code completion etc. in IDE's).

Solid, funny and informative talk, as always!
A good explanation of the variety of tools, especially about the fancy things you can do with debugging mobiles through charlesproxy.

Pretty much the same feeling here.
I enjoyed the beers and the presentation and it was nice to hear from someone very knowledgeable but I hardly dared being social in between drinks.

I think you got a spot-on talk about working your way in to open source. It would be, as Gary mentions, a mandatory talk for every conference. I also liked your idea to open source your talk, which I hadn't experienced before.

However, I want to give some constructive criticism as well. I know it was your first talk, the nerves we're noticeable at the start and decreased during your presentation. Another thing is you touched quite a lot of different topics, which makes it hard to explain all well and make sure every listener comprehends everything. You talked about open source, git, GitHub, vagrant, open source licences, the culture and how to collaborate, interact and communicate with other developers from the community. And I might have forgotten something too. So while it's good to have an overview, it's on the other hand a talk about everything and nothing at the same time. Please don't get me wrong here, but this is always a difficult dilemma for talks.

A last thing: very few public speakers repeat the question, something very useful for the audience and video watchers. You were the only one I saw at PFC13 who did this. Chapeau!

Good talk with a lot of information. Codeception is a great tool as an umbrella system for various types of tests. Your explanation was excellent, but I also missed a few things. The demo time focussed too much on a single type of test, and thus leaving out the power of Codeception to run integration tests or unit tests as well.

Personally, checking the database for acceptance tests is also not really in place and there was little discussion about that subject. But that might be a matter of personal taste as well.

Thanks for sharing this experience. It's good to know other open source contributors feel the same, that we have common problems and fears when we contribute. The way you involved the room was great. At first I thought it was a bit much. Certainly, not every speaker should try to do this, but the way you involved us was like open source itself.

Great talk about a great subject. Good pace as well, so no time for distractions. The presentation was especially good as there was no bashing to other db systems, a good explanation of what Redis is about and finally some very diverse use cases to show the capabilities of Redis. Well done!

Enthousiastic speaker. I agree that a small demo (on a locally installed resource?) would have spiced it up a bit. You could even record a demo if you do not want to rely on an internet connection being avable. I enjoyed how you reduced the hyped words to what they really mean. We'll live with AAPIE.

Awesome. Overwhelming amount of possiblities. Testing technologies are definitely evolving faster then I can keep up with them. This one I am going to try today.
