Friday, August 04, 2006Guide to Better Presentations
I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about this book Beyond Bullet Points by Cliff Atkinson. I haven’t actually got my hands on a copy yet (one topic sure to get me on a rant, is how it is quicker to get a shipment of books from Amazon in the US to my doorstep, faster and cheaper than going to a technical bookseller in Perth), but I will presently.
I noticed that a recent talk by Brad Wilson on the topic of agile pair programming was written using these techniques, and several other high profile presenters seem to be taking Cliff’s advice on board. Definitely one to add to the reading list. |
