Comments

Really got good on the last question which could have inspired it's own session. The concept of "Placelessness" was interesting. My current projects involve localization of content and our research indicates that a "one site to rule them all" approach just isn't feasible.

 

Dude, nice hat.

 

Too general - would have been nice to have more actionable speciifc best know methods and examples

 

I would have liked more real world examples. Less talking and more slides with screenshots.

 

It was good, but more examples would have been great.
