SOLR presentation dry run
June 14, 2007
I gave my first public run through of my SOLR presentation last night to the tripug group last night. Whew! It was pretty darn rough. My first runs through had timed out at only 10-12 minutes. I was really worried about how I’d fill the time. What happened, however, was that I ended up adlibbing (not good!) and answering questions (good) and getting a bit lost (not good!). A few things I learned:
- Have web-accessible version of presentation. If anything goes wrong, having at least a web-based version (s5 perhaps?) with screenshots of the code is a saving grace.
- Have more code ready. I know this, but haven’t finished all my code samples yet.
- Focus! I tried to cover too much in my first run. While I don’t want to come across as a ‘beginner tutorial’ sort of presentation, there are going to have to be a lot of things I forgo detailing during a 30 minute speech.
I’ve got to finish my printed materials by June 25, so I’ve only got a bit over a week to wrap this up. Such pressure!
