Some additional notes

How To Speak by Prof. Patrick Winston

MIT 2018 talk

How to start

Suggests not starting with a joke.
- Audience isn't necessarily attuned to your mode of speaking.
Start with an empowerment promise; what will the audience get from the talk.

Notes from reading Practical Go

Notes of the key points copied/summarised from Dave Cheney's Practical Go for more concise reading/reference.

It's worth reading the original document as there is more exposition there of the ideas presented.

These are terse notes only; I'm not providing my own commentary, opinion

Destroy All Software screencast notes

Earlier this year, the Destroy All Software screencasts were free to download. I grabbed a few that sounded interesting to watch.
