Awesome lightning-talk... They should have given you much more time... I actually would have opted for a slightly different prioritization for what to show: 1. For me, as a developer, the ticketing system is one of the most useful and impressive piece of work in the whole of web2py - I think for a conference of developers, it would really spice things up for many people who don't know about it - having such well-designed introspection in production, has made our lives much easier - it's like a built-in auto-error-logging instrumentation that records the bugs in production-mode- and with a really well-done interface. 2. I really liked the all-in-browser show-off of the old web2py videos... The text in the software you where using for inputting the text, is was really hard to read (dark-blue text-color on a black-background?? and with zero-syntax-highlighting??) I mean, I get the incentive to show that you can use any text-editor so people won't get the wrong impression - but I think it would have been much better to show it using the web-based text editor, as it would have been more readable. If you are going to use an external text-editor, might as well use a "more" readable alternative than the web-based one, but surely not a less-readable one. The text is going so fast, and shows up for such short a time, that nobody could possibly manage to read it unless it extremely readable. I get the incentive to use something to type for you, especially for live-demoing on such a tight schedule - but to me it overall seems like a bad choice, as the bad readability and super-fast-paste makes the whole thing deletes the purpose. If it was me, I would have kept "most" of the lecture in the web-browser (with copy-pasting of code to avoid live-coding errors and keep it fast-pace), and show a short-demonstration using an external text-editor, right before the end (preferably something slim and readable like sublime-text). Alternatively, the beta-version of PyCharm 3.0 could have been tested-out to showcase it's support, it's also very readable... 3. The constant scrolling of the web-pages was kinda distracting - Either the web-browser was set to an annoying re-zooming-in thing, or the layout.html is in need of a little layout-tweak (condensing things a bit) to make things fit better into the page by default - even on pages with data in them.
Anyways, all-in-all a good talk - that's just my personal feedback. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
