Good overall hands-on of Vagrant.
I would have liked a more thorough exploration of Chef though.
Nice intro to Web Services, a bit on the simple side. One could wish for a bit more advanced stuff. Do not spend time on letting people install stuff, that they should already have been doing before they came.
Very nice examples, without all the framework clutter, that often get draged into these kind of things. You could have started out with a bit more advanced examples in the code.
Really knows what she is talking about, and very refreshing that she is not afraid to jump in and out of code and expose all of the angles for Web Service development.
Really nice workshop Ben,
clearly structured and easy to follow!
The examples were progressive enough to start absolute beginners with the basics and layouts of the various components, then ramped up to show examples of real-world use cases that actually showed its usefulness.
I particularly liked the workflow utilizing BDD and implementing it with Behat.
Well done!
