Presentations: Acegi Security and Spring Web Flow I just noticed that the javaBin site has published the talks I did at the Norway JUGs. Here are two additional presentations that I didn't post last time:

In the near future, I hope to start taking more of Kathy Sierra's advice and reducing my presentations to almost nothing. This will diminish their value when I post them, but hopefully make the presentations a lot more fun to attend. Posted in Java at Jun 17 2005, 11:12:16 AM MDT 3 Comments

I was pleased to see some Edward Tufte references in Kathy's post. If you're unfamiliar with him, I highly recommend attending one of his seminars and reading <em>Envisioning Information</em>. Some of the best tools I've found for improving my technical communication skills. <em>The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint</em> is hilarious, even though it hurts.

You can get the best of both worlds if you use the "notes" section within Powerpoint to write detailed descriptions of each of your simple slides.

Get hardcore: Check out Cliff Atkinson's blog and his excellent book, Beyond Bullet Points. Some of the mechanics he shows are PowerPoint specific but his approach works everywhere.
