Most software geeks are really good at what they do. They possess strong and varied skills: coding in multiple languages, testing, running migrations, managing highly complex files.
But let's be honest: sometimes software engineers can be, um, lacking when it comes to public speaking.
Presenting technical ideas in an articulate, engaging way is a key skill for programmers that can help dramatically advance their ideas -- and their careers. Jeff Cohen is here to help you learn valuable public speaking skills in a TechWeek workshop Sunday, July 24 from 5 - 6 pm called "Talk Tech to Me." His session is a "Lightning Talks 101" tutorial that shows you how to organize a presentation, speak effectively to an audience and prepare live demos.
Jeff is a professional trainer - he's the founder of Purple Workshops, a company that delivers high impact, one-day technical training sessions for agile software teams. He's the co-author of the book "Rails for .NET Developers," and has worked with object-oriented programming languages and Microsoft application frameworks for more than 15 years. He's a madly passionate hockey fan and a musician, and he also loves to tweet.
Don't miss Jeff's talk at TechWeek at the Merchandise Mart. You can log in and register here - and remember, TechWeek training sessions are included with your TechWeek Conference & Expo pass at no additional cost.
