Moshe's first trip
report of EuroPython 2003. It's not your usual happy-happy-joy-joy
and always-look-on-the-bright-side-of-everything kind of reporting I
mostly do, but maybe that's because Moshe has real brains instead of
the two rotten grapes I have up there between my temporals.
Moshe didn't comment on his own talks —although he could have
had said how it felt for him or something— so here are some
comments from me, although I must admit that I think that feedback
about talks is usually pretty worthless. Not because feedback
generally is worthless, but because people generally can't give
feedback. I didn't take proper notes, so I need to rely on my fragile
memory. The talks I saw were a
talk on Twisted as whole and a
talk on Twisted Web (server). At the other end of the links are
the slides (in XHTML) for the speaks.
So, in short:
The stage appearance was a bit too hectic and the contact with the
audience was not as good as possible. On the other hand, I could
easily understand what he was saying. And seemed somewhat
enthusiastic, which is nice.
Speed was adequate; maybe a bit too fast for my taste, but then
again I am a bit slow myself, so there. And he did manage to cover a
lot for both of the half hour talks.
Some annoying little mistakes (with the code samples and such)
that Moshe tried to correct on-the-fly which makes it more difficult
to follow. (I wouldn't have noticed half of them if he hadn't pointed
them himself.)
Good overall structure, and extra bonus points for going to the
point quickly. That's rare. A lot of code samples, which yields even
more bonus points.
Quotes were charming, but I didn't have the time to follow them
because of the speed.
