Talk comments

Interesting talk!
But in my opinion way to much info on the slides, which makes it hard to concentrate on the story instead on the slides.

Topic is good and informational. However, presentation slides not easy to read, small fonts and colors not contrast enough.

I felt like the talk was too technical. Simply showing us all the different datatypes, how they look in a query and what raw result they return does not convince me of using Postgres. As asked at the end of talk: it was also not clear what the difference was between the different datatypes was. It would be more interesting to see usage examples that demonstrate their power (maybe compared to MySQL?).

Stephan should also try and look more at the crowd and less at the slide projection behind him. There was at least one instance where someone from the crowd tried to ask a question but it was not noticed.

The way Christian performs this talk is almost the stand up comedy equivalent of nerdcore ;) Very entertaining and informative; saw some cool things I didn't know existed until now. The talk itself was well structured, and the live coding of proof-of-concept snippets was fun. Enjoyed this very much.

Enjoyable talk capturing the core reasons that community works - sharing and growing together! Encourages us all to be involved in mentoring, particularly liked the reminder about not spoon-feeding people.

Tobias was clear at the beginning of the talk that this would be a beginner level talk and he was right. I feel like the talk is intended for people who have not touched PHPUnit before.

It was a great introduction to PHPUnit and the live coding went really well and really demonstrated the power of testing.

However, I can't help but feel it was a little too basic.

Very technical, but walked away with some nice information on the subject.

Great to learn PHPUnit, obviously one of important part of our code! A little bit hard in the beginning for beginner who haven't used PHPunit before, but it can be easily followed afterwards.

Perfect keynote for an event like this. Very inspiring and moving.

Elizabeth has a great way of speaking and capturing the audience. Not even technical glitches throw her off.
