Lightning Talk: How to Present Like a CS Pro #55

Open ziqing26 opened 8 months ago

ziqing26 commented 8 months ago

PUNCH:

  1. Before this presentation, someone asked what is the cool presentation framework that Nicolas uses. Here is the presentation to answer that:)

  2. Yesterday when I was watching CS3211 lecture, I saw very verbose and hard to use code in presentation slides. (During the presentation, invite people to share their feelings when they first see this.)

WIIFY: It is not uncommon to see code in technical presentations. You might have used code in your end of internship presentation or your CS3282 lightning talks, because code helps to demonstrate abstract ideas concretely. Or if you was the TA for CS1101S or CS2040S, you will put code snippets in your tutorial slides.

Properly using code also shows strong evidence of your expertise in the field, making your tech talk more convincing and more useful for the audience. But presenting with code is hard. That is why you need Reveal.js to help with this.

Agenda:

Key Points:

  1. Reveal.js enables you to focus on creating the content and don't worry too much about formatting.
  2. Reveal.js presents code REALLY well but is more than that.
  3. Reveal.js is not for everyone nor every presentation, but it is for YOU.

Call to Action: Try Reveal.js for your next tech presentation!

If you're into compact s-expressions, I think racket slideshows are also very nice!
