Presenting Presenting — Medium

… Being the part in which we introduce and motivate the subject.
Recently, I posted something mildly snarky about presentation styles (specifically, the disconnect between the highly-rehearsed performance that conference organizers expect and the reality of me simply winging it on stage).
I do have some ideas on the matter, and thought it might be worth sharing them, or at least writing them down for my own questionable benefit. I give many public presentations and it’s one of the aspects of my job that I enjoy the most, so I do tend to think about what makes a good presentation. In fact, giving presentations has nothing whatsoever to do with my real job (writing and shipping code); I only do it because I enjoy it so much. So it would be ridiculous to not care about the end result.
