Hello, everyone. My name is Thaísa and I'm refining my talk for a presentation about Linux to novices and beginners for Public Speaking Challenge

Schalk Neethling • Apr 24

Amazing! This is such a crucial skill to develop as a human being, but also as a developer. The ability to take complex topics and present them in an interesting and informative manner translates into so many areas of our daily work.

Being able to do that in front of other folks is scary, but it should not be. Sharing is caring as they say. 😃 Good luck with the talk! If you record it, you should share it here on Dev.to and YouTube!

Thaísa Vieira • Apr 25

Thanks, @schalkneethling, I was really scared this week about the presentation but truly there was nothing to fear, also, I think I'll do it more often to improve this skill. I recorded it and I'll share the video and write about this experience.

Schalk Neethling • Apr 25

Amazing! Looking forward to the video and the write up.

Hi Thaísa,

Cool! I think it’s always nice to talk about FOSS in public.

Good luck!

Thaísa Vieira • Apr 25

Thanks, @cacilhas! My goal was to make something for laypeople, novices, and beginners so I did my best to simplify as much as possible.

Hello, everyone
I'm Xen, and I just registered here. I'm a fullstack developer and interested in php, react, gatsby, I also do a lot of development on wordpress (i know), I also love the topic of cybersecurity.
I've currently decided to learn a bit about writing articles, I've only written four so far, so I'm just at the beginning.

Hey everyone! It's Muhammad Ahmed here. I'm back on YouTube after a long long break, taking on a challenge from my cousin to hit 1000 subscribers and 5000 views in 30 days. The reward? A fancy pizza dinner! I'm pumped for this challenge, focusing on Python, Django, and Cyber Security. Stay tuned for updates and collaborations. Got any project ideas? Let's chat (itsmemabz@gmail.com)! Appreciate your support and advice!
