Talk comments
A great keynote & set the tone well for the day.
Awesome. Great end to the conference, strongly delivered. Loved the sailor shirt also - ahoy!
A heck of a lot to take in on this one - all good stuff. The impact mapping stuff is great - I have read the book so it was nice to know I'm on the same page as Inviqa ;) Very confidently delivered.
Completely new stuff to me here - and I would never have thought you threw that together in an hour honestly. I thought you were confident and your delivery was good. I hadn't really thought about you being turned away from us - but if you have to type to do the demo, then so be it? Very well done Wes.
Great talk. A little short - left me time to shoot down to the Uncon, so no bad thing in that respect. I think Phil should take a lot of confidence from the presentation - quite a scary venue really. Very interesting, very on-topic for me, and always good to hear from people who have been there, done that, so to speak.
Interesting and well delivered. I found the subject a little 'basic' - for want of a better word - but the topics were clear enough and good for reinforcing the concepts.
My off topic feedback would be - I went searching for your Tailwinds website to find out a little bit more (loved the logo) - but struggled. Maybe I missed the link in your presentation?
Very interesting and informative - would loved to have had time to see the full slide deck, and maybe over 2 hours with a smaller group where questions could be a little more free flowing, this would make an excellent learning experience. I took away a ton of knowledge / ideas / principles from this, perhaps more-so than with any other talk throughout the day. A very deep topic and a toughy to deliver over a short time span, but overall very well executed.
A great intro to the day, confidently and creatively delivered. Very well done Ross!
Ole is an enthusiastic speaker who clearly loves his work and has a passion for the subject. I learned a little history of SOA and AWS from this, and I remember the 3 takeaways! Timeouts, HTTP and.. no wait I forgot one.
So looking back through the slides, it's clear this talk had a very broad scope, and I think it might benefit from a little more focus as I found it difficult to absorb all the information!
Also, Ole's great enthusiasm might have resulted in a bit of a shotgun delivery style (this might also be a language barrier thing) with anecdotes and humorous asides peppered between the content. I think a little more consideration on the flow of the talk would really help out here and maybe some practice with fitting the anecdotal stuff in.
All in all I still enjoyed the talk as an introduction to some of the techniques used in SOA and an overview of how it might benefit your organisation and structure of your service, and it also highlighted some important caveats to watch out for. Good work Ole!
This talk was a very good introduction to Apigility & how to set it up, configure it & the kind of things you can do out of the box.
Sensible use of recorded demos rather than live demos & just the right level of technical for a presentation rather than demo.
Next, I'd like to see a Apigility 201, go into a bit more depth on how to extend it.
