Comments
I didn’t feel I needed any Gearman expertise to benefit from this tutorial. I came in wondering if I could use Gearman, and walked out knowing I could and thinking that I’d like to. The speakers were both clear and well-spoken. The material was well-presented.
The presenters are clearly extremely knowlegable on the topic, but I feel the topic, and description was comepletely misleading. I expected a hands-on experience (similar to the Google Apps session by Joe Gregorio). This was a session for existing Gearman experts and could have been very valuable to others, but I was not getting what I expected as per the title and description of the session.
This is hopefully helpful for future sessions.
