Hi all, due to the lack of recent volunteer presenters in the open-source clubs, I decided to step forward and volunteer to give a presentation. The usual caveat is that I tend to give pretty bad presentations: I don't have good diction, tend to create bad slides (though I'll try to spice them with some images, and good presentation advice - http://perl.net.au/wiki/Resources_for_Presenters - etc.)
In any case I can give a talk about: 1. CMake - http://www.cmake.org/ - the opossum alternative to the GNU Autotools (a.k.a GNU Autohell). I gave a presentation about GNU Autotools before, which I knew were very bad, but has since then reached nirvana with CMake. 2. jQuery - portable and concise JavaScript - http://jquery.com/ - jQuery is the "write less - do more" JavaScript library, which abstracts most common JavaScript tasks in a succinct interface, which greatly speeds up and facilitates the coding. My approach to this will be to give several jQuery examples, and explain how and why they work. 3. "Bottom-up Subversion" - an introduction to http://subversion.tigris.org/ in a bottom-up fashion, as a complementary to the svnbook - http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ . 4. Anything from here - http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/ . I may need to update some of these presentations. 5. I can also adapt a lot of stuff from here - http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/ (should have been /essays/ or /articles/ or something - yet another historical URL on my site) to presentations. 6. I've been working on the fifth installment of my Perl-for-Newbies presentation: http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture5/ My Perl-for-Newbies presentations did not prove very popular when I gave them one after the other to Telux, but I can give this separately.
