Helpful and informative. Gets fundamentals covered and in your mind right away, including exercises to test what has been covered up until that point. A good refresher for some details that may slip your mind over time.
The talk was well-named. Years of being put off by opaque documentation led me to habitually looking up recipes on the web without a real grasp of regex, and a nearly literal fear of trying to figure it out. Sandy's talk really got me over that hump, and the progressive examples and practice helped immensely. As with all such things, I only wish we'd had more time.

Nice talk. Too bad about the time shortage, as the things I actually wanted to hear were pretty rushed.
