Excellent talk. I wish every tutorial is as thorough and detailed as this.

[@itacirgabral8586]

the version lock with conditional expression look like couchdb

I was so excited to see the local DynamoDB in this video. I followed the link in the description. I can find absolutely no reference to the local development features mentioned here. I have `java -Djava.library.path=./DynamoDBLocal_lib -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar` running, but I have no way to use it. The documentation is abysmal.

[@RichardBronosky]

Ugh! This gets a status 400 response:
echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
" | nc localhost 8000
This gets a 200:
echo -e "GET /shell/ HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
" | nc localhost 8000
The URL you have to hit is localhost:8000/shell They could have put that in the messaging of the root http request, the stdout or stderr of running the java command, or in the README.txt file they distribute with it. This is really poor, but pretty much what I expect of a project that was removed from Homebrew for being UNVERSIONED and closed source. github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/9175

Also note that even though the web shell has a built-in tour that is easy to find. There is no mention of tutorial.start() as mentioned in 23:03. It's there. But you have to watch this video to know about it.

[@RajPatel-mg9zo]

speaker is too fast gosses over items - not pleasant to listen to

[@t34shooter]

Did you have playback at 2x?

[@shadoninja]

For being so critical, you didn't proofread your comment even once.

[@NikosKatsikanis]

must be

[@RichardBronosky]

At 23:19 he admits "the stuff I was running through pretty quickly", but he also gives the justification, which is the fact that there is a tutorial that covers everything in the first 1/2 of the talk.

[@agassijoel3343]
