please where can i find this talk ?

Nice, even overview of TDD. I especially liked the pragmatic approach to TDD, and the emphasis on its problems. TDD zealots often hail it as a magic bullet. Slides could use a little more "oomph".

Topic was interesting. I felt like I was close to a "wow, I should be using this" moment, but never got there unfortunately. Pace was erratic. There was just too much code on the screen, but that's just a personal preference. Definitely some great nuggest of information, but a bit disorganized.

Agree that speak did not appear very passionate about the topic. Technically, the talk was technically very informative and offered ideas I could bring back to work.

I don't think there was any Python in this talk at all. And the concepts felt to me too advanced for someone with no prior exposure to artificial life and cellular automata-type simulations. But if you didn't care about Python, and had some prior knowledge - excellent and interesting material on the AI itself.

Maybe HTTP isn't as sexy to me as it is to Ramsey. I found my mind drifting on the slides with all the event sequences. Talk time went a bit over. Felt like just a bit too much content. Slides and talk-style were excellent. And I did indeed get the speaker's desired takeaway: it's all about resources.

Excellent intro and overview of very new and complicated topics. Nice way of boiling down some complex technologies. From theory to a demo with Hadoop. Slides could use some improvement.

Good overview. Nice talk style. But the reason I attended was to see what all the fuss was about. What the *real* differentiator between SVN and git was. Either I missed it or it wasn't apparent. For example, git is supposed to make branching easier, but I didn't see *how* it does. Was not so interested in basic VCS concepts and git syntax.

Nice intro to what Sphinx is and what it can do for you.

This was an interesting talk, and speaker shared many of the opinions on javascript as I do, therefore he is awesome. Also had some new ideas I hadn't thought of.
