Talk comments
It is always interesting to hear how a company as large as Facebook solves things. If the speaker knows what he is doing it becomes even better. Nice talk, good speaker and an interesting topic :) It did not really stick to its title though, but it was interesting nonetheless!
After comment by Anthony there is not a lot to add. He covered everything perfectly. One thing not about content, but about style of presentation. Even if you notice that you are ahead of schedule - you sould not say that out loud (not to mention repeating it several times).
Even if I wouldn't care about the topic of the talk this would have been entertaining. Great speaker, great talk! It is a shame that the speaker had to admit react is slower than node.js or we would have to deal with one word less in our buzzword bingo!
Nice and broad overview of problems and solutions while working with big data
The topic is interesting in itself but I missed a couple of things. The presentation kind of lacked structure. I think this happened because you answered a question by moving to a different part of your presentation and spending a couple of minutes there before actually answering the question and going back to where you were. I like it if questions get answered real time but this time I think a short wait for the asker would have been better.
The second feedback I would like to give: This was too much a demo for me. I would like to have had a combination of technical solutions and functional results: "see this brilliant technical solution enables this bit of functionality"
Good presentation, a bit complex, but thats OK. However at the end I was not sold to use React over Node. React looks more like proof of concept not something to be used in real life. If thats really so, then I guess there was nothing you could have done differently. However if React is real competitor for Node, then something was not said or shown.
How's that for a wake-up call :) Great to see yet another "different" talk at a PHP conference. I liked the topic and it was very well presented. I liked the fact that an actual use case was used to clarify the topic.
If I had to put in one bit of critiscism: I don't mind the formula's, I would have liked it even better if they too would have been "filled" with the actual parameters so they illustrated their own use and meaning better.
Most interesting part of any conference. Not because of the beer and fries (although it helps) but because it is a unique chance to speak to all kinds of developers from all kinds of backgrounds. Kudo's for the organisation to facilitate this!
Now this was a well-structured talk! Very well built up to a fact that every PHP developer should know: use bcrypt. Even though there was no new information for me personally I still enjoyed myself because the presentation was very good and Anthony Ferrara clearly knew what he was doing.
Wow! Dude you talk fast :)
The information was extremely dense and that is not a complaint! The advise was sound and spot-on ( I kind of disagreed on one point, but agreeing on everything is boring either way ).
