PHPSW: Code Review & PWAs, April 2018 [Bath Edition]
25 Apr 2018 at Bath Innovation Centre

I really enjoyed Dave's justifications to give to managers and superiors on how effective Code Review can be to business objectives. Also, it was really helpful to have the visual representation with the diving reference.

I do think however that the talk was a little long and could have been cut by 10/15 minutes.

Great content from a very knowledgable Mike. It's pretty cool to be exposed to the cutting edge of the technology, and Mike handled questions from the crowd very well.

It did feel like a lot of content condensed into the time allowed, but I'm not sure what could be omitted - possibly the content just needed a longer time slot to let it sink in fully.

Thanks Mike!

Really enjoyed this talk. It was great to look under the hood of how PWAs work (although I’ve already had a preview). My only request would be for a diagram of how the service worker sits on the front end. I enjoyed the conversations, Mike is very knowledgeable and delt the questions well. Very well presented!

This has the potential to be a very dry subject but Dave did a great job keeping it interesting and engaging. I enjoyed the diving reference. There was some really useful tips including making your code readable for yourself and other devs. I struggled with the length a bit, I thought it could be 15mins shorter but partly because I was hitting this after a days worth coding lectures beforehand. Very well presented!

First of all, admitting I'm not a fan of the JS ecosystem (although getting a lot better).

Great cutting edge topic (at least to me) with quick examples of what to do and good starting point for anyone to check on Mozilla docs for reference continue looking into it. The talk served greatly as an intro to the concept.

Even though there are a lot of questions raised about security implementation, as well as standards not being yet set in stone, it was a great introduction of how things work and to get someone interested in this subject.

Nice talk about code review. As others pointed out, some slides need a bit more work on text readability.

Good approach / parallels on why to use code review. Great point for use it for nurturing junior developers as it is quite rare these days to do pair programming or have time to sit around and check for points.

I would like to see more of an effective way to 'sell' it to management and apply it as a principal across projects. The most difficult aspect is to start implementing it as a standard practice and in a world of clients and building a project as soon as and within budget, makes its implementation hard to justify sometimes.

And completely agree, a minimum of 2nd pair of eyes is always better than just one :)

A lot condensed into a short period of time, though possibly too much detailed material involved? It seems like enough to get people going using the Mozilla docs, so it was pitched at an appropriate level for me, but I could see people with less exposure to JS struggling to keep up. The nature of the topic though?

A great introduction to a potential minefield that included useful tips on important business-level arguments to make the case for implementing it.

Slightly too much code for me to digest and the speed of talking was really fast. I really enjoyed the summary and the conversations throughout - I think they enriched it.

Well done! For more feedback see email

Great talk with attention grabbing introduction with the scuba diving analogy. A lot of useful information and tips on how to code review in addition to why you should code review. Delivery was good overall, but could have looked at the laptop screen a bit less and the audience a bit more.
