Unfortunately I missed this talk due to attenting a parallel talk. WIll you post the slides?

One of the better talks of the conference

This talk made me laugh harder than anything at the conference, Sarah brought some really great content along with very natural delivery. And when a "half-question" from the audience got tossed at her, she spun it into a hilarious 7 minute digression that still felt like part of the talk. It doesn't hurt that the tool itself is awesome as well, would love to see the talk go even deeper. Just please be more careful on stage. :)

Very good talk and well explained. Steps were good to follow, though I wouldn't commit every single one :)

Great overview, especially for a first time speaker. The content was solid and the speaker knew his stuff.

The slides could use a little more work, add some photos or syntax highlighting. You definitely need to reduce the word count per slide or make them appear point-by-point. The pros/cons slides especially were too tempting to read ahead on. Maybe throw in a joke or two, don't be nervous.

Overall though, these are minor complaints about an otherwise good talk. I've seen things on conference main tracks that weren't this good. Just some more polish and practice and this should get accepted somewhere.

Could not attend due to attending another session occurring in parallel. Will you be uploading the slides?

Great, confident demo, well presented, especially for live "coding". The tool itself is promising, I'm usually skeptical of these CRUD tools but this seemed to feature a lot of best practices. Overall, very well done.

Good quotes and good presentation. Could use some more depth and maybe larger refactorings that make code more readable (things like "extract method" or "extract class"). Speaker was a little nervous but held up well, maybe try to speak more slowly or clearly. Overall, good uncon presentation, promising start, don't be afraid to go more technical!

Excellent explanation of metrics, excellent presentation. The live demo portion of the talk shouldn't have worked but did. Handled questions from the audience very well. The only thing I would have liked to see more of was pre-made examples of framework comparisons (static vs non-static methods, number of classes that implement interfaces vs those that don't, etc) and possibly some refactorings that might accompany metrics. Just wanted a little more depth in there. Still, hard to fault the talk for wanting more of it.

Cool, practical talk. Explained a number of components very well. Talk could have used more enthusiasm but considering the time zone difference, very understandable. Wouldn't mind seeing some "bigger" examples but overall, one of the most useful talks at the conference.
