Talk comments

Very good presentation! I was expecting a little more theory but by the end of the presentation I appreciated the approach and the examples used were a good way to show the techniques being demonstrated.

I think it's a great reminder that we are the ones responsible for the code we write. It drives me nuts when I see messy code and I'm a big believer in coding standards. Ed was wonderful to listen to, reinforced some great practices, and had a lot of useful resources included in his talk as well.

As I was hearing the different things you could use GitHub for, I couldn't write down the ideas popping into my head fast enough. This was a great presentation with a lot of useful information. I'm very excited to take what I've learned and apply it to personal and professional projects of my own.

I also agree that burritos are way better, but I think most of us can agree that Mexican food is good no matter what you wrap it up in ;)

This talk really expanded my knowledge on when I might or might not want to use caching. H had a lot of really great tips on business strategies and on tools you can use to help improve your application's performance.

I thought the examples were a fantastic addition to the subject and really helped to cement the information. I got a lot of very useful information out of this talk and will be able to directly apply the knowledge I've gained to my code going forward (and to hopefully fix some old, bad ones too).

Really great talk. I loved hearing about new programs that can help make our programming processes more efficient. I would have liked to go over the bad ways to review code a little more quickly and to spend more time on some of the good tools that are out there, but other than that, I really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this talk. It covered a lot of information about TDD & clean code that I've heard elsewhere, but it was really great to get some more in-depth information on the subject. One thing I really appreciated was the use of 'she' in addition to 'he' pronouns. It really helps me feel included as a female programmer to hear speakers use 'she' pronouns when giving examples. I could tell Adam was really passionate about this subject and it carried through during his presentation. It helped make me more excited to go out and practice these good techniques.

Very good overview. I would've liked for Samantha to expand more on what the bullet points on the slides meant as opposed to reading directly from them. There was a lot of information and I really appreciated it when she would expand on her topics using real-world examples. Overall a really great talk and it really helped to expand my knowledge on REST APIs.
