Talk comments
Loved some of the de-railments into stories and flying shark - very entertaining. However I thought the talk was light on content, and the HTTP conclusion at the end went against several other talks I've seen - mostly the item about versioning.
Overall an entertaining end to the day.
I was hoping for more than this talk delivered. As others have said it ended up running through a couple of lists of things and I dont think I gained much from sitting through it.
Probably my lack of enthusiasm for testing, but I didn't really enjoy this topic.
I loved this talk. I think it's really important that someone challenges the commonly accepted truths of web development. Good content, delivered well, and sweets! The only thing I'd pick up on was that it overran and several sections were skipped thorough - although that might have been down to de-railings via audience participation.
Enjoyed the talk content, but as Adrian said it was presented slightly dry-ly at times. Mind I think the dark musty room didn't do you any favours.
Enjoyable talk that wandered off from time to time without taking me with it, if you know what I mean.
Like other have said, a really good kick-off for the conference. Good content, presented well.
Really excellent start to the day
HE did warn he was going to be rude which actually made the speech more interesting and engaging specially being just after lunch (good idea about the sweeties).
He didn't gave any valuable information but ler us thinking about some buzz world of today word .
He failed to get into a "beef" with a guy from the audience which wasted a lot of time..
Well paced talk about the practicalities and the difficulties of developing a testing framework for legacy code. Enjoyed the discussion about different approaches and ideas to the problem and the pragmatic sentiments throughout.
