Done In London

We wrapped up this week's class in London today: I think a lot of the students felt that they'd been in the wind tunnel most of the week, but the feedback was fairly positive:

Good

• new content (hadn't seen before)
• covered a lot (good to see things)
• easy to apply / pragmatic
• group exercises were fun / useful
• Subversion
• entertaining instructor (blah blah blah)
• better understanding of best practices
• persuasive arguments for best practices
• nice to meet everybody!
• accidental knowledge transfer (vertically and sideways)

Bad

• too much too fast (got lost on Tuesday)
• spent time thinking about programming tasks while instructor was showing solution
• covered a lot (would have liked warmup before arrival)
• too much hummus (could have used more variety in food)
• not enough networking
• how does it run on my machine??
• not enough connection with sound
• introduced software we may never use
• not long enough (need more time)
• no incentive to do exercises / homework
