hell yeah. excellent talk, I learned a lot!
Very good talk. Given this was a first time talk it was really good. The speaker was calm and steady, and did a good job of showing us the ideal he wanted to transmit.
Some feedback on the slides and structure are the only issues i had: try to put less text on the slides, be more visual and communicative with them, use them to guide the attendee to understand what you are saying. Pick a straight line to take them from start to end.
Congratulations on the talk, first of many I hope.
Excellent non-PHP unconf talk. Enjoyed it immensely. Dare I say it was electridying.?
I was electrified! This talk was a real jolt!
Always enjoyable!!! Lightnings FTW!
Very funny.
Good introduction to MongoDB. Perhaps less on all the usual db actions and then you'll have time to talk about the interesting application of MongoDB, ie. geolocation etc. Thanks for trying to fit an intro into an hour.
I would have liked to see you get to the tie-in with code a bit sooner! A focus on PHP would have been nice as well! Also reduce your points down for us viewers, there was way to much to read while trying to listen to you.
Otherwise an interesting take on a subject that is not easy to discuss objectively.
Good unconf presentation.
OT: I would suggest trying phpspec2 instead of retrofitting bdd onto PHPUnit tests.
electrical disturbance, kittens, pokemon and fictional historic battles...what more could you want from a lightening talk. oh, well presented too!
