Good Talk. Lots of great info that I'm playing with just a few hours after the presentation. Dan is correct, a little more information on the request/response would be great.

Great talk. Showed advanced development practices for Docke.

Dave is amazingly knowledgeable. He presented the history of MySQL Replication, where it sits right now, and "speculated" about the future. He gave great examples, and was able to handle all the questions.
Well Done!

This was way too basic for MY needs. This could have been just about right for someone who was not at all familiar with the concepts of an API, nor the proliferation of them.
With all the push on "everything is an API" right now, this should have been a much deeper dive.
Tessa had a good presentation style. I'm looking forward to hearing her present again in the future!

Another great Keynote. This made much more aware of where I can track vulnerabilities.

He did a great talk on the "winding path" he took from a PHP user to a contributor.
He is a very good presenter!

Great. Good background on DAP (x.500) into LDAP and into the different versions. This is something I'll be able to use immediately!

@BRANDON thanks for the honest feedback.

I'm not sure if you were in the room for the entire talk, but I did cover several use cases where it makes sense to use this tool at the beginning (driving directions, social networking graphs, financial fraud detection, etc). You can read more about those use cases on the GraphGists site that I linked to at the end of the talk (here's a good one on credit card fraud detection: https://neo4j.com/graphgist/122cdc26-ee79-4d30-ab17-540eb5218a5f)

Please do note that the objective of this talk was not to convince anybody to use Neo4j specifically, but rather to show them what it is and give them enough information to decide on their own if there is any use for it in their organization.

Mr. Cavicchioli's talk was humbling, as it reminded me just how little I know relative to the body of knowledge that exists in our industry. This was, by far, the most complicated subject-matter that I encountered at this conference. There are so many "moving parts", and the fact that the speaker understands all of them well enough to build a functional pipeline that is viable in real-world usage scenarios speaks to his expertise.

As a Florence native, I was impressed with the speaker's ability to articulate his ideas in English. He was perfectly understandable and I have tremendous respect for speakers for whom English is not their first language. It's difficult enough to understand and build these types of environments, but to articulate them in a non-native language is truly incredible.

I now have a massive laundry-list of new technologies and tools to explore, thanks to this talk!
