Delivered my Quality Presentation Again

This time to the Wellington Dot Net Users Group.
See previous post for link to slides.
Another good discussion ensued.
This time I demoed FxCop.  That went well.
I think next time (if there is one) I would also demo the Testing framework.

Feedback on my presentation style: was good, but I need to "own" the subject a bit more.  Instead of being deferential to either the material or the audience, I need to project confidence in the stuff I know.

    Hi James

    Thanks again for that presentation and a good discussion afterwards (I was the test engineer looking at continuous integration for dotnet).

    Is it possible for me to grab a copy of the presentation slides?

    If you're OK with re-use, I was hoping to present something partly based upon the points you covered for Assurity staff focussing on wider application quality and thinking outside of the testing "box".

    It wasn't something I planned before last night, but I came out of the presentation thinking it would be a very interesting subject!

    Cheers Jamie :)

  3. Hi James.

    Enjoyed your presentation the other week.

    Given your own feedback comment in your post, you might find this useful:

    This is how I approach my own presentations. Totally confident that this is the best I know *now*, but aware that there's always more to learn and refutation might be around the next corner.

    Keep up the good work,
    Bevan.
