#CodingPersonalities Episode #4

On this episode of Coding Personalities, Kelsey and I are joined by Mike Hand.  We discuss how Mike got into software development, issues developers face starting out and throughout their careers in software development, and how to go from “Chair to Debonair.”  Mike talks about how developers can start speaking more at conferences no matter the skillset, topic idea, or experiences.

*My and Kelsey’s opinions only represent ourselves and not any other organization or our employer

Becoming a Tech Conference Speaker: Creating Your Presentation

Intro

There are already a ton of groups, tips, and blogs that are out there that will help you learn to become a great speaker.  This post won’t go into a lot those topics because simply Googling will you get there.  What I will be doing though is describing the process that I use to come up with my speaking ideas, created my decks, and practicing for the upcoming conferences.

I hope to give you another perspective on taking your speaking to the next level and the tips and tricks I use to get there.  This will be a multipart series on becoming a conference speaker.  This post specifically is about creating your presentation!
