Very well informed, I now have a much better understanding about how/where to start using it! Was really well delivered talk with lots of energy.

It was a good reminder of all the things I should be looking at using! Really useful talk, made me confident to go and try things out.

Great speaker and thought provoking subject, it got the conference off to a flying start

The code box on the slides where there's a code box half on top of a background picture could be a lot bigger. In fact probably the code box should fill the whole slide?!

I feel like the number of slides needs to be reduced, the time per slide reduced and the talking speed needs to slow down a bit. It was a lot to handle in 50 minutes.

Interesting - if niche* - topic. Thanks.

Thanks for the excellent tutorial Lorna. There were several useful things I picked up from this session. Hope to attend another one soon!

Too many categories / products are mentioned! Gets confusing!

My question about in-memory SQL was answered somewhat vaguely.

More real world examples of when (not!) to use noSQL and when (not!) to use SQL would be REALLY helpful in this talk.

Calm speaking style and lovely slides.

Answered my question very well - thanks.

Very entertaining speaker and presentation style!

No real criticisms as such, but perhaps the pace / amount of content was a wee bit much for 50 minutes. Also I feel that "ElasticBeanstalk" should be mentioned in the title somehow.

Great.

Lovely guys and the "tag team" style was refreshing and kept me awake!

I think one of the only things not mentioned was how to make your open sourced project *more* attractive to the community and how to get people interested in it and working on it. We aren't all as lucky as the speakers with people coming into our projects!

Something else not mentions - and perhaps this is my own cynical opinion - is that a lot of big corporations nowadays seems to be open sourcing somewhat arbitrarily and just jumping on the band wagon. I wonder what they think about that?

Thanks for the ideas and motivation guys!

I gained a massive amount from this speaker. I have used the... we just need to get it working route before and have faced many issues.
I like the... build many small services and applications that combine to create a greater whole ...approach.
It has altered my thinking and approach to application design and will hopefully make me a better developer. Thank You.
