I recently had the need to create and deliver a presentation on Developing Peer-To-Peer Applications With WCF . Although the technical content was good, my delivery was not. I got stage fright…
As I approached the room to give the presentation in which I expected to see a couple of people, I was horrified to hear a clamor of voices, no, a venerable din of idle conversation coming from the room. Not that room, please… but that was indeed the room, and I had to give my presentation to more than 25 highly technical people…It was fortunate at least that I had a copy of all of my notes, as my mind (what little was left after a day of traveling) dribbled slowly out of my ears…
I had previously presented on VSTS , but that was to a room of coworkers that somehow seamed less threatening. In addition I knew the content back to front and did not have any notes anyway. The 45 minute Visual Studio Team System presentation ended up taking 3 hours.
So, needless to say, I ended up having to almost totally read from my notes. Not the best way to do a presentation…
Anyway, here it is…
I owe a lot of thanks to the authors of Pro WCF: Practical Microsoft SOA Implementation without which I would not have been able to put the presentation together in three days at all.
