Talk comments

Got to agree with Richard above. The presentation didn't deliver on key aspects.

"Gotta write an API? It's easy - you pick your protocol and set of principles (RESTful ROA, SOA) and away you go." It didn't show this.

"But you're picking your poison. Even though starting out may seem like a no-brainer, a relatively short investment into doing things right from the start will determine the technical fate of your system." Why? It didn't show this.

"This talk will walk through the high level architecture of the API." Very high level. One slide, but very little meat.

"Then we'll take a deep dive into each individual component and discuss logical separation to keep those components flexible and easily extensible." How to keep those components flexible and extensible? It didn't show this.

"We will learn how to avoid common pitfalls." It didn't show more than one or two and one of them was error handling, which I consider a general programming pitfall, what does it have to do with services?

"And finally, watch as we demonstrate how to enhance any new or existing system with a general purpose multi-protocol API." It did not show me how to enhance my application.

This presentation was very generic foils and not much explanation by the speaker. I didn't take away anything that would help my application or any more information that general communication flows.

Was very disappointed. I need more meat and less overview of communication flows. Most people at this point know where a service layer resides in the communication flow. I'd have liked to see more on what the talk is about. Key word to the title "Implementing". It didn't show how to implement only foils and communication workflows.


Thought it was very informative. Our company is currently using Mongo and this session has really helped in gaining more insight to mongo's best practices.

Awesome talk that includes real-world use cases. Packed in a ton of useful info in a small amount of time.

Very informative talk on advanced topics for MongoDB. Organized slide deck and knowledgable speaker.
