Gave talk at Architect Factory, Part Deux today titled Since Software is a Business, Architects need to be More than Technologists. The slide deck can be downloaded here. The most prominent concept/slide follows:
Technology + Communications + Business-Awareness = Influential Architect
The overall event was excellent. It was organized primarily by Bryan Tuttle of CodeRight, a Consulting/Training company. Many thanks to Bryan for a job well done!
I attended Presentation Camp Boston on Saturday 24-Oct-2009. I sat in on several excellent talks, plus led a session myself called Better Tech Talks. which was a presentation & discussion on giving technical talks to technical people.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to give code-centric talks to software engineers, plus the general problem of clear communication through presentations. Those in my session will recognize that my slides (Better Tech Talks – 24-Oct-2009) do not stand alone well! – but should serve as a good reminder for those who participated in the session.
Feel free to follow-up with me to continue the discussion!
Gave a talk 17-Sat-at Boston Code Camp 12 called So, You Want to Give a Code Camp Talk?.
How to Give Your First Code Camp Talk – 17-Oct-2009
If you attended my talk, you learned than I don’t advocate ensuring the slide deck makes sense stand-alone (since it is a framework for a talk, with purpose different than that of an article or blog post). You’ve been warned. 🙂
Spoke at New Hampshire .NET User Group back on June 17, 2009. Talked about Prism (focusing mostly on Silverlight, a little homage to WPF), showed some code, shared a slide deck.
I will be giving an updated version of this talk at the upcoming Code Camp 12 in Waltham (Boston area) on Sat Oct 17, 2009.
