Split screen was great idea - go Augmented Reality next! :)
The contents were not always mind-blowing, so some basic topics could be covered more briefly, allowing other parts to extend

Great workshop. Could easily be extended to a full day :)
I'd love to do (even) more exercises - it's a workshop after all.
The content was gold!

Great tutorial, that was my much needed bootstrap into provisioning world!
I think everyone having the same versions/baseboxes would require less troubleshooting and allow more focus on the topic itself. But even now it was great

An interesting talk to get things started and I was surprised how well the 'split room' idea worked.

I think it would have improved for me if there was a little more depth on each of the points. They were all good an interesting, but it felt like as soon as they were mentioned, it wasn't long before we were moving on to the next one.

A highly entertaining talk, with lots of good information.

Was great to have opinion put across (such as on PSR topics) in a way which was amusing and avoided going into long rants.

The standards tool generator looks great and should be useful as we try and follow standards a little more strictly within our team.

An interesting talk with interesting concepts, but I found it a little hard to follow - partially due to the switching in language presentations.
Felt like it required a bit more polish too, especially the last third of the presentation

Great ideas and really well presented. Made me want to immediately change how I implement certain things. Looking forward to the slides for this talk!

Good talk and confirms what I thought about the performance overhead of using frameworks. Especially liked the bit about being presented with a Swiss Army Knife to chop down a tree when all you need for the job is an axe.

Haven't used Drupal in quite a while but he's convinced me to come back into the fold with Drupal 8.

Derick prepared an excellent presentation with relevant and suitably targeted activities. He was also kind enough to provide resources after the presentation which should further aid learning.

It was great being able to go from no installation to a good base understanding of Mongo in a little over 3 hours!

Thanks once again...
