-------- Original Message -------- Subject: YAPC::Europe 2009 - Talk & Tutorial Evaluations Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:14:20 +0100 From: Barbie To: Jozef Kutej Hi, In this email, please find the feedback received from the surveys available for YAPC::Europe 2009. An Explanation of the Tables: For the table matrix below, each row represents the question asked of the respondee, with the columns representing the rating given, graded from 1 to 10, where 1 represents a low rating and 10 a high one. The values in each cell represent the number of respondees who rated the question with a particular value. Due to space restrictions, the text of each question has been truncated. The full text for the questions are as below: * Quality of presentation materials? * Your prior knowledge of subject? * Speaker's presentation of subject? * Speaker's knowledge of subject? * Overall presentation rating? Static can be more: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Questions | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Quality of presen | - | - | - | - | - | 2 | - | 2 | - | - | | Your prior knowle | - | 1 | - | - | 1 | - | 1 | 1 | - | - | | Speaker's present | - | - | - | - | - | 2 | - | 2 | - | - | | Speaker's knowled | - | - | - | - | - | - | 1 | 2 | 1 | - | | Overall presentat | - | - | - | - | - | 2 | - | 2 | - | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- How could the tutorial or presentation be improved? * could probably also done in 20min without going into the details * There was too much detail. It would be better to show less code - just bits that are tricky or especially cool. The code should be prepared as a slide, so that the presenter didn't have to keep zooming in on each new code window. Focusing on key aspects of the topic would probably give the presentation more impact as there would be less detail to be presented and so less to have to pay attention to, and the speaker would be able to spend more time on the important aspects.

And although one day the youth of today will inherit the digital world, for time being, the mobile ecosystem is a complicated, political nightmare.

If you've been in the business as long as I have, you know that mobile has been the "next big thing" for at least the last 10 years.
...
Being unable to create a long-term sustainable business model on its own, innovation relies on selling the "next big thing" to investors instead of selling what people really want.

by Brian FlingThis MT4 installation seems to have some encoding problems. It's destroying the non-ASCII characters. I'm not suspecting the database and also not the web server, but I don't know... Let's see first some screen shots.
Writing new Entry
after clicking "Preview"(note the "You are previewing the entry titled" on top compared to the title in the preview)
after just clicking "Re-Edit this Entry" and again "Preview"
So it seems that the characters comes properly to the code and are properly written to the preview file, but then when used back again for MT4 administration interface, gets messed up.
Little more investigation and it looks like that the FastCGI is doing the double encoding. When using just CGI versions everything works just fine and I can write (šžčťľúüô) what ever I like...
Book Review : Mobile Web Design Author(s) : by Cameron Moll Publisher : Cameron Moll (January 19, 2008) ISBN : 0615185916 Pages : 108 Pages Language : English
Mobile Web Design
The book is quite short - 102 A5 pages. It doesn't go into too much technical details. In my point of view it will be a good introduction chapter for a book about mobile web design. May be that the target audience is not developers but non-technical people, that will run away when faced bigger one.
There are a lot of links and web references. On one hand it's good, as one can go and investigate further, but book assumes that reader goes and really checks the pages. I buy "physical" books to read them while I'm travelling or when I'm somewhere off-line. Scratching the topic and then referring to a blog just keeps me upset because I can not check it right away. So I had to "re-read" the book, extract all the links that were interesting and check them out later.
So the result - Fair introduction for mobile web newbies.
