Great talk. Perhaps rethink the Cards against Humanity - it works against the "professionalism" of the talk. Wish it had more code like the first 3 hrs and less slides.

Good presentation, but could've used Virtual machine or something to aid the tutorial for the server set up part. I was unable to follow along, and I think a good chunk of others were too. We missed our break which could've been used for people to catch up.

Great talk! Enjoyed the Cards Against Humanity demo.

Dynamic, user-centered talk. Invited questions and tailored to the group. Learned lots of good tips. Thanks, Alan!

Thanks for making life fun. Was worth every penny my company spent.

Very good talk...I will start up all learned today....

Great presentation. Showing everything through live code makes everything clear.

Great high level overview of various caching and tuning techniques. Out of necessity, in-depth discussion of certain topics were limited, which would have been great. Maybe a "part 2" for advanced discussion could be considered in the future.

Memcache, nginx and varnish were particularly focused on, and were very relevant to today's capabilities. Would have loved to see more tuning discussion for practical things any developer can do: examples include apache/.htaccess configuration for cache headers, how to analyze slow MySQL queries and how to determine what MySQL indexes should be added.

Definitely was worth the time and I'm glad I chose this tutorial.

Great talk so far. For my expectation I was missing some details on continuous integration/deployment and staging systems.
What about a Github repo for this talk where new information can be added via PRs?
