Talk comments
This talk was great, learnt a whole bunch of stuff within 5 minutes. I can't wait to benchmark all the things and watch the YouTube video for the bits I missed
The talk had no real structure. There was no beginning or end just lots of middle.
It looked to me that Nate had just discovered noodle programming and implemented it.
Solid talk about RabbitMQ, enjoyed it very much. Would've loved to hear a little bit more about things like high-availability, failover and clustering, but that might be too specific for an overview talk.
Wonderful and inspiring keynote, I love how Yitzchok shared his wisdom about mentoring, learning and community involvement, all from his unique point of view. Excellent start of the conference!
As someone who had not heard of react.js before this talk didn't have enough introduction, was overcomplicated and seemed to be more about PHP than JS. I left after about 15 minutes.
To me, the big merit of this talk is the fact that all this was done in a very large organisation, totally changing the way they were releasing to production. And it is a real story, not some random theory like some other talks about this topic.
Well delivered, solid speaker
A good talk to attend. Felt a little slow at times, but that might be the delivery. Interesting topic though for sure, great to try and think about programming in different ways
Great talk, although his complete dismissal of feature toggles surprised me!
Marcello's always good value as a speaker; engaging and entertaining. My only criticism is that the talk was a little short, but there were some great questions at the end.
@David thank you for taking the time to write down the feedback and I'm sorry to hear that the presentation did not meet your expectations.
It was never my intention to "just" give an introduction talk on React.js, since I am a firm believer that most people get way more out of talks when you talk about bigger concepts, problems you encountered using a technology and possible solutions than out of talks that do not much more than read out the documentation and give you hello world examples. So the talk was always meant to be about web application architecture and what the reusable component based approach of React means for PHP. I also tried to convey this in both title and abstract but apparently could have done better. Judging by the feedback here, on Twitter and in person a lot of people enjoyed though, so I guess my take on the subject was still very interesting for a lot of people, but I'll definitely work on phrasing title and abstract clearer and refining the introduction part.
