Talk comments
Even though I missed the first half of this presentation, I still learned enough in the second half to say that this was an excellent session. Her coverage of APC made this worth the price of admission.

Excellent session. Chris is obviously knowledgeable in the area of security but he's also a good speaker. Unlike some speakers I've seen at other conferences, his presentation style does not get in the way of his material.
Very informative session.
Very good session. Goo balance between the WHAT and the HOW.

Very interesting talk. Good coverage of the topic without getting too detailed in any particular area, pace and progression were fine, explanations of abstract concepts were effective. Further examples with implementations other than Hadoop, such as CouchDB, would be nice additions to the talk.
Nice intro to Git, excellently tailored to existing CVS and Subversion users. Liked that the speaker had simple visuals and didn't read bullet points off the slides. Trying to grok rebase still hurts my head, though. :P
Nice watershed of PHP 5.3/5.4 OOP additions. More practical use cases would be nice.
Excellent presentation and pace. Speaker was very knowledgeable and non-biased and presented what seemed a decently comprehensive guide on the subject and when and where to apply threading versus processes and related practical gotchas.
Nice high-level introduction to Flex. Would have been nice to see more demos of Flex features aside from the basic REST / CRUD demo. Good pace, speaker was very knowledgeable, thorough, and kept a good pace.
While I think the content is great, I felt it was more of a howto session as opposed to an overview. It felt like you were trying to tell us how to do it and then why it might be useful. I would have liked to have seen things flipped around: "Here's *why* you would do this and why it's so valuable and here's a quick way to do it."
Regardless, the content was good and accurate, just not exactly what I was expecting.
