( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello,

I've marked this post off topic because it doesn't really apply to just Perl, although in my specific instance it's all about Perl.

I put in a proposal to talk at a users' conference and was accepted for a 60 minute session. My topic is a Perl module I've written that acts a wrapper for the web based API of a commercial product.

I've presented before (stand up training, scripted educational sessions, and formal talks like this), and public speaking comes easy for me. My question is this: How best can a person present code? The presentation format will be a typical lecture format. (ie Me behind a lectern in an auditorium with a project.) Copying and pasting code into Powerpoint doesn't seem too friendly for a 60 minute talk.

I can't take a laptop*, and I doubt I'll have the ability to install software on the computer I'll be using. Presumably, I'll have access to MS Office, Acrobat, and perhaps other common software packages.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments?

Cheers,

Brent

* The presenation is in Vegas and the last person from my department that went to Vegas had their laptop stolen from their hotel room, so the edict is no laptops go to Vegas.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
