Good formalisation of the process

Sorry, nothing new for me as I was expecting from the intermediate label...

Good overview of asynchronous processing at the beginning. It would have been nice to provide some warnings, maybe at the end, about how asynchronous programming can introduce challenging debugging situations, especially if any of the parallel processes interact.

It would have been helpful to see a demo of how an app would speed up using asynchronous processing. You could have sequential code and parallel code and toggle back and forth to demonstrate the difference for the audience to appreciate the impact more viscerally rather than merely. (The sometimes-slow Wifi would have provided good testing fodder.)

Once you transitioned into ReactPHP, it was sometimes difficult to learn both the React capabilities and syntax at the same time as the concept of promises and streams. It would have been nice to start with an example using promises without any special ReactPHP networking magic (e.g. DNS resolving).

You might want to mention how there is a React JavaScript framework which is unrelated.

You could also note how the concept of promises are not unique to ReactPHP. I believe they are now part of ECMA (JavaScript) 6.

It might have been nice to show a specific example using callbacks and contrast it to promises.

Thanks for your presentation.

This was a great presentation, with a careful balance between discussing the issue overall, but then diving into the specifics of particularly interesting examples. The speaker was very clear and the slides easy to follow. It is definitely time to begin the process of letting go of JQuery (but gently). Well done!

Very good talk on a process to debug, lots of hint's and tips to help properly identify and fix an issue. This is not a talk about tools tho.

Very well presented. I only wish you would've talked more about the tools you use.

Good talk. Touched on different async libraries and extensions available today. Mostly covered ReactPHP in depth. Well spoken and great information!

good content and thorough presentation. Labeled as Intermediate, I was hoping for a more advanced lecture. A lot of time left unspent.

She was quite nervous, but she really knew her subject matter.

She went pretty quickly over a few things that I would have liked a little more depth on, such as just a bit more analogy on the Contexts, Steps, etc.

But I really think it was a good presentation, and I hope she continues to give presentations, and that it gets easier for her.

Great talk. Now to write some more tests...
