Outline for talk on Display Tag, Struts Menu and AppFuse in NYC
This weekend I'm preparing slides for my talk in NYC on the Display Tag and Struts Menu. I'm also going to do a bit about AppFuse since it includes and uses both libraries. I have an hour to talk, so I think I'll try to present for 50 minutes and leave the last 10 minutes for questions or simply quitting early. That means, realistically, I only have 15-20 minutes for each project. That sure seems like a lot now, but I'm sure it'll fly once I'm up there in front of everyone. I'm definitely nervous about this event - I've only ever done technical talks to team members, never to a large audience. I've done large audience (20-50 attendees) talks, but those where in college and covered growing up in Montana and business plan-type presentations. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get over my anxiety about 10 minutes into it.
The purpose of this post is to write down the topics I plan to cover and hopefully get some feedback from the more experienced presenters out there. I'd also like to get feedback from developers - as in what you'd like to see covered if you were attending.
