Awesome. I always wanted to start TDD-ing with JS, yet was not sure, how to get my hands on it. Real life examples, as with the search suggestions, make it really easy to start doing it right away! Which is what I intend to do. Sadly, such examples is what is usually missing.

I am also very excited about the integration possibility with Hudson. This rocks!

Absolutely top class. Took a calculated risk with the "code from scratch" approach used, but it was appropriate and pulled off superbly. Very relaxed, clearly practiced. Dealt very well with the questions asked mid-way through. I'll be looking out for you at further conferences. Thanks

Live Coding FTW! - even if we didn't see final results, because examples prepared before did not work also. But, like Joe said above - it's calculated risk. Lot of knowledge, real-life examples, and I think some people find out about Hudson and another tools.

One minus - I have a feeling, that "books for asking most interesting questions" got people who asked question and were sitting in a first rows, not these who really asked that most interesting questions from whole audience. But that is subjective opinion ;)

Thanks for your comments! I eventually figured out that the reason the final example didn't work was because I forgot to include jquery.js when concatenating the files...

Also, about the books: Sorry about that. I had initially planned to hand them out in the QA session towards the end, but completely forgot because there were so many questions during the talk and we went over time. So I simply handed them to the first people to get to the stage. I'm sorry.

Really great presentation, maybe best at Front-Trends. Made me eager to try following your way of working...

PS I made a few (poor quality) photos, you can find them inside my post-conference notes
