Liked_Best: The presentations on performance and testing tools that I attended were extremely interesting and well done. I came away with a real drive to load them on and profile some of our existing applications and get our testers up to speed on some of the GUI recording and playback technology. The presenters were very thorough and made the material relevant and interesting.

Improve_Next_Year: I attended one tutorial and 3 or 4 long talks where the presenters were not prepared. In the tutorial the presenters were so rushed that they skimmed over almost everything leaving me with little coherent information after 4 hours. In the sessions the presenters never introduced their topic, they just dove right in with technical details. If they had summarized what they were going to talk about, shown how it fit into the overall Eclipse architecture and given an example of why it was introduced as a project, the rest of the talk would have been much more interesting. As it was I didn\'t fully grasp what made the topic important or useful until the very end of the session. At that point my interest was piqued but the session was ending, which was very frustrating.
