Using a real world example (our very own joind.in) to go through the various sections made it easier to follow, though I did get a little lost on some of the more advanced topics. Sitting down with the slides and a Guzzle install will no doubt solve that.
For the presentation, it wasn't the smoothest, but nothing was actually wrong. I'd recommend having a bottle of water with you, and taking a few seconds to have a sip and pause to get your head clear.
Thankfully, the inevitable phone went off during the questions and didn't ruin the main presentation.
Great talk. Given me a few ideas and inspiration
Pretty much echo what Jon Spriggs said above!
A well presented talk with a great analogy with code examples to help the subject matter.
There was some good information in this talk, clearly forged from real world experience. Given that there was time to spare, I would have liked to see the example expanded to more fully decouple the plugins from the cart, but Chris gave a good explanation afterwards.
Good key note, covered a lot of areas that we all *should* know but probably don't. As simple as knowing how to ask a question can make a big difference.
Technically, the split-room worked well, though with the repeated pacing back and forth Ivo did and the camera following him, did make it slightly distracting. Probably wouldn't have been as noticeable if he was on stage in front of me.
And a nice touch with the frog, even drawing attention to the fact we need to pause and decompress when learning.
A very good talk. I wasn't expecting it to go so vagrant specific from the title.
But the vagrant elements were presented well and suitably generalised to cover some of the main options which perhaps tie in to the vagrant talk in the next period.
You did talk a little fast but it wasn't a problem for me. You clearly know the subject material and that came across in your enthusiasm.
Really well presented talk on App Engine. Both speakers were clear, fluent and knowledgeable. Using a real world, familiar application made the subject seem more accessible. It's also good to hear requests for feedback on the service from the users.
Really interesting topic, and useful demo. The framework summary could be expanded a little, or maybe more time given to the pro's and con's discussion. As the talk ran under it could certainly be padded a little.
It was great to hear from someone actually using this style of development in anger and clear pros and cons for using event driven development.
Split screens were cool! Can Ivo speak without walking? :-)
Possibly the first time I've seen a live demo go flawlessly. I'm therefore assuming it was a pre-recorded video. (using pre-made alias commands to help you along and cut down on typing is an idea I'll be stealing)
Little touches like having the rest of the text grey out and leaving the relevant part to stand out made looking at config files very easy to understand. The talk was broken up well, with heavy tech, live demo, then more tech keeping the interest level high.
And, of course, a few sly digs at other technology got laughs and kept the energy going.
