The presentation was very well organized, informative, and covered a lot of material and best practices. Chris's style of presenting the material allowed for staying on track and covering a lot of ground.

I would have liked to have had a copy of the presentation available ahead of time so I could have written in the margins and taken better notes for future reference.

I've also uploaded a video from the talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcWaxAhBr4A

Great talk by Matthew, nice comprehensible use cases backed up with simple code examples. Redis really does more than I thought.

Good coverage of Redis and its abilities!

Good overview of simplest way to push to production servers and on up to how ask.com deploys changes across servers. Not any details on how to get started with any of the tools they use because each tool could have had its own talk, but enough to research key tools mentioned. Were able to answer a lot of questions afterwards.

Great talk - lots of good information, I'll probably pick up her book to learn more.

Fantastic talk that showed the room that Redis can be used for so much more than just a "dumb" key-value store. Matt's a knowledgeable, sharp speaker and his examples were simple yet relatable for the audience.

This was an interesting look into how a major web company is able to release changes without downtime.

While the presentation did contain some interesting and useful tips, I felt it was a little too high-level and low energy. I also wish the presenters could've used the extra time to show some specific examples of the scripts, configurations, etc. to understand what I'd need to do to implement something similar.

Kirsten knows so much about this topic! She dropped so many knowledge bombs in just an hour. Great flow, and very well rounded.

I think this was a good coverage of EU vs US Data Protection Laws. I learned a lot I did not know and now believe that this needs to be covered more often.
