Discussion on: How Do I Start Giving Talks on Coding?

[Daniel Marlow]

Any horror stories to make me less worried about my first talk?

No horror stories, but remember:

• You don't need (and shouldn't have to be) an expert to give a talk
• People will be genuinely interested in what you have to say
• You will have an impact on people beyond those who tell you
• Diversity of thought and opinion is important. That includes people who haven't spoken in public before.
