Talk comments

As others have commented, in the future slowing down with what you're doing on context menus would be useful.
There were (I think) 5 refactoring tools shown, and I learnt from one of them. This could potentially be a full talk as there could easily be another 5 (at least).

I was looking forward to this talk perhaps the most of any, but was rather disappointed. It was extremely short and there wasn't much in the way of advice other than to use interfaces between your business logic and any framework you might hook up to - something which is just the basics of decoupling in the first place. I would have liked more insight into problems encountered, perhaps some downsides of doing it, particular 'problem' frameworks to apply this technique to or some examples of instances where it might not be appropriate perhaps.

I didn't really get into this talk. Perhaps I just missed the purpose or was the wrong audience, but I didn't really gain anything.
The presentation was delivered well.

I really enjoyed this talk - a good insight into thinking patterns and how to approach thinking about problems, stemming from a self-set coding challenge with 'stupid' origins. Delivered really well too.

Wow! I had only seen CSP in passing and this talk taught me a lot and gave me some things to try out myself. I'd like to see this as a main-track talk next year.
I think this is the best talk I saw all weekend.

Covers a lot of well known security issues and techniques, but there's no such thing as being reminded about this kind of stuff too often. James clearly knows his stuff and the talk fits a lot of good advice in, boiling down the essentials into some key points.

Really insightful talk about how the FIG works internally and is able to overcome and resolve their differences.

Really good talk about the common pitfalls, and how they're easily avoidable.

Fantastic talk - a good story, some great advice & delivered really well with some great humour thrown in too.

Good talk about stepping from CI to CD, although I think too much emphasis was put on feature toggles, and not enough on practical examples of adding the final step
