The presentations went well. I think they are definitely something that you have to do to get better. So now I need to find ways to do more talks. I enjoyed the chance to get to meet people and discuss technology with people I normally wouldn't.
The audience for the two presentations I gave were very different. For the lunch crowd a simple direction was best. The time was much more crunched and the environment lent itself to more distraction and less interaction. For the evening you only have 10 people and more time. So a more in depth presentation would most likely be beneficial for them.
Other than that I thought that the presentation went well. It's a large subject that I will get better at presenting when I show to other developers at MTM and present other topics. I also won something for the first time ever, a book that started out with this quote.
... the highest simplicity of structure is produced, not by a few elements, but by the highest complexity.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Goethe; or, the Writer"
That's a good quote, but I think that the development circle I'm following more and more lately tries to do these Simple Complex things as simply as possible. I know a lot of developers still like their complexity, hopefully every day I'm less and less like that.
P.S. The presentation material will be posted here very soon.
Cars and houses are not very cheap and not everybody can buy it. But, business loans was created to help people in such kind of cases.
