note xdg <blockquote><i>My question is this: How best can a person present code? </i></blockquote> <p>Personally, I'd think of great presentations you've seen and try to emulate them. As a fallback, look at how others have presented code in Perl. I'd recommend looking at slides from Perl conferences in the past. In searching for links to some, I also came across [dominus]' [http://perl.plover.com/yak/presentation/|Conference Presentation Judo] talk, which you may find useful. </p> <ul> <li>[http://wiki.birmingham2006.com/wiki.pl?SlidesFromTalks|YAPC::Europe 2006 slides]</li> <li>[http://yapcchicago.org/wiki/index.cgi?YAPCSlides|YAPC::NA 2006 slides]</li> <li>[http://wiki.yapctoronto.org/index.cgi?PresentationSlides|YAPC::NA 2005 slides]</li> </ul> <p>If I have to give one major tip, <strong><big>use big fonts</big></strong>. 3 - 5 lines of code on a presentation slide (and really, really big) is probably all that you can count on being legible to everyone in the audience.</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-268515"> <p>-xdg</p> <p><small><i>Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain|public domain].
