Talk comments

Excellent talk and very thought provoking, lots of great take homes and I think it was well balanced in terms of the benefits and tradeoffs.

Free bar all night. Plenty of food. What’s not to like?!

This talk was on an important topic but was too short it felt like it never really got started. The slides were impossible to read making it that much harder to follow. No real advise or solutions talked about apart from using interfaces more content is needed for this to be more useful.

Really good and informative talk. Only thing I think it was missing was maybe a little more overview of some of the Google Cloud components, what they are for and why to use them. App Engine seems to have come along a long way since I last looked at it, and I'm keen to have a play around with it now.

I found this talk really useful, I have no prior knowledge of queues. I'll be looking to leverage these in my applications going forward. The presentation was very clear and easy to follow. It would have been great to see it in action.

Despite being a topic that I'm very keen on, I was disappointed by this talk. The delivery was a little dry, and for a full conference talk lasted only 15 minutes + questions. Unfortunately the code heavy part of the talk was un-readable, and there was an apology for the fact some of the code/talk was being worked on at 4am. I think this would have been well suited to an un-con talk, but for a conference talk, more preparation and content would be needed.

It was an interesting talk and well presented.

However, none of the code, and most of the text, on the slides was unreadable due to very poor contrast and small font. Plain black on white works a lot better then thin white letters on black.

A good talk, made me rethink how we use behat. Would be interested in hearing more, specifically around performance on CI so the builds don't take forever.

Good & interesting challenge to think differently about problems. Nice talk, thank you :)

Food for thought, you use a framework, but your business logic shouldn't. Decoupling the two is the topic of Michelangelo van Dam's talk, and he covers it quite well.
