Good technical talk on the new protocol. The history recap was good, as was the comparison between 1.1 and 2.0.

A fantastic talk. Great slides, very succinct presentation, fast pace (but not too fast) and I really loved the example scenario that is easily grasped without being too simplistic that it feels artificial. It's definitely useful to have at least rudimentary experience with behat and phpspec to follow the slides. Only suggestion I have is to leave more time for discussion.

Objective achieved, like a boss.... I suspect a lot of the audience agreed in principle with the objective measurement criteria rather than basic code analysis, but will be put off by the amount of work involved without any automated tools; which might be more acceptable for large projects with large teams (or multiple teams) but a lot more effort than can be justified for small teams at the moment... but in principle it's a useful way of measuring quality, and uses both stick and carrot rather than simply the stick to berate your development teams.

And amid all the talk on SQuaRE, there were still a lot of useful hints and tips for handling code reviews in general

I'm not sure if I am just not the target audience - it seemed very beginner oriented - but to me it felt like just a link list with cartoons as slides. This is not to say that it wasn't entertaining, it mostly was. Also the mentioned practices and tools are fine and getting people to know about them is useful and a good cause. I just don't feel the talk really achieved that. I feel that it is very likely when you code professionally you will have dealt with most if not all of these. If you didn't know about them, you probably barely got enough info to see if it's useful for you. Since there are are already 2 positive reviews I might be wrong about this.

Great talk on the comparison of the two protocols.

As always, an excellent and confident delivery. I liked the real life airline example. It made the talk very easy to follow.

An interesting talk, it did kind of tangental off into the generalities of improving web performance rather than the specifics of HTTP 2.0.

Overall a ok talk but too general in places
