Super informative, lots of good advice and resources
Gabriela described many features or modes in MySQL that I was unfamiliar with. I had a little difficulty understanding what she said at time and the slide was gone once I had deciphered it to myself. I hope the slides are posted. She make reference to the mysql documentation but as she observed the meaning is often obscure. She did a good job of explaining them. The in-depth explanation of the group_by behaviors/mode was superb.
This was a technical talk but Emily kept it interesting and made it easy to follow. The talk had a clear beginning, middle and end which so many technical talks lack. I really appreciate the time put into this talk!
Very informative talk!
Davey effectively demonstrated and argued for the effectiveness and use of HTTP/2 protocol for web rendering efficiency. I will be talking with our team about implementing this in our sites.
I didn't realize just how pervasive PHP usage was until this keynote. I did notice in the presented graphs that the PHP and Python plots seemed to be inverses of each other. Could this be a factor in the "declining interest" in PHP? IE, many developers were migrating to Python instead of PHP? In any case, Ben suggested that Python would have been the underpinnings of a modern web (more so than today in our actual universe) in the alternate universe. I personally wonder how much of the original design philosophy of Python was influenced by features which PHP was already offering. In any case, a pretty interesting talk.
Wonderful talk. I took away concepts that will help me in my projects. Thank you, Kevin and Cathy!
I enjoyed this panel discussion. Multi-factor authentication for the win?
I had some familiarity with Graph Theory before this talk. That being said, it was hard for me to see this applied to a database paradigm. Ed made this easy for me, and I think others, to understand. Clearly, this is a tool for a specific type of need, but I can see where any kind of data mining would benefit from this technology. Thanks for the talk Ed.
At some times I felt that Sean was not "motivated" giving the talk. Maybe it's just my impression, but I felt it little interactive and a little bit slow. I think the subject is good and it has a lot of potential.
