My PHP Tek Talk: Better Dotfiles II

I just finished giving my second of two talks — Better Dotfiles II — and feel like it went pretty well. I tried something different with this talk. I normally have a slide deck which I use for my entire presentation. I also use a countdown clock to ensure I don’t run long. I planned to have about 10 minutes at the end of my slides to do some computering on the command line. The idea was to show how I use the command line, and the role that my dotfiles plays an important role in that. So I switched to my terminal. I just ad-libbed this section. Next time, I’ll create “presenter notes” for the terminal section. There were a couple of things that I only remembered I wanted to demonstrate AFTER the presentation was over. Still, I felt pretty good about the flow of the presentation and my speaking style.

Anyway, I wanted to share my slides with those who attended my talk. If you attended my talk, please rate my talk on joind.in. I like to use the feedback to improve my talk for the future.
