Last night I presented for the first time at the Fort Smith .NET User Groupon "Easy Database Access with SubSonic". It was an intro level talk with some basics about the need for ORM / code generation tools at the beginning. Trying to squeeze in everything in a one hour talk proved to be difficult, but I think attendees at least got enough exposure to SubSonic to know whether or not it's something they want to look into further.
I learned that I can't possibly over-prepare for a presentation of that length. I'm a very detail-oriented person and like to know exactly what I'm going to talk about beforehand. I got some great feedback on the talk last week from Kerry Jenkins who had presented the previous month. Then I also recorded a rough screencast Sunday night to practice. By the time Monday night rolled around, I felt pretty comfortable with the material although I feel like another walkthrough might have helped me work out some of the timing.
Here are the files and links from the presentation:
Update: I've posted the screencast from the presentation here.
