Scaling Applications with RabbitMQ

I hadn't heard of RabbitMQ before so this was a very interesting talk. I really liked the simulator which made it really easy to understand what was going on.

In the beginning Alvaro talked a bit fast which made it hard to understand, this was not a problem further into the talk tho.

For a "live demo" talk, this went extremely well! The topic was interesting, practical examples, really well put together. The use of the RabbitMQ simulator was a great touch. Really seemed to know his stuff and the whole thing was just plain cool. :)

That said, it still had some of the lag, file flipping, etc that plague live demos. If more of the content was put inside the slide deck so he could flip through and then screencast the result, it might work better. Speaker has an accent but didn't seem to be an issue for anyone present.

Still, great talk. From a technical standpoint, one of my favorite talks at the conference.
