Great talk for a Keynote. Slides were a little bare ;) But it worked for the presentation. I think it did it's job of inspire people to get involved in the Community.
Really enjoyed it. Some of the Javascript was a bit over my head, but that's a good thing.
The presentations were a great introduction to HTML 5. I would have liked to see a bit of <canvas>, but as you mentioned, perhaps that would have required too much time.
Thanks for giving the talks!
Inspring.
Lots of great information in the JavaScript section. I didn't attend the morning half so I can't rate it. Concepts were explained quickly and clearly and covered a lot of ground.
Both talks were excellent. Jake gave a nice overview of the cool stuff available in HTML5 and CSS3, and also covered some CSS fundamentals in a really clear way. I found the refresher on CSS selectors and specificity particularly helpful.
Daniel's presentation on JavaScript was clear and fast paced. He explained some tricky core JavaScript concepts in a way that made it finally click for me. He also briefly introduced several libraries that look really interesting, and ended with a whirlwind tour through a JavaScript codebase that used most of the things he'd talked about. The pace was pretty fast but not too fast; it kept me paying attention.
Overall both talks were packed with information and fun. Great job.
Only caught the morning session - the HTML5 information was very thorough, and I learned about a very cool new tool in mediaelementjs.com. Thanks Jake!
Excellent workshop. Many of the tools referenced are ones that I've looked at, but have not *yet* had a chance to implement. I certainly feel more confident in my ability to do so after attending this presentation.
The concept of quality assurance being a means to boost team spirit was especially enlightening. Thanks for presenting!
Really enjoyed this, particularly as I've just ended up writing an API at work. And managed subsequently to spot potential pain points as a result of this talk ;-) I also liked the honest approach of "use the appropriate methodology" instead of the more-usual "USE REST!" etc.
Great presentation!
Only suggestion: Hold all "sign up for an awesome exclusive service" announcements until *after* the talk! (It's hard to pay attention while signing up)
