Last night was my TeamCity presentation for the GSDF.  This was my first proper presentation since about 8 years ago at university.  I feel it went alright but I have identified some room for improvement for future presentations.

Hopefully those that attended will have an idea for the features that TeamCity offers and will go away and try and convince their companies that it is the way to go.  If not then it might at least get them looking into continuous integration solutions for their teams.

The presentations are now available online in various formats:

• Keynote (key) - 348KB
• Flash (swf) - 952KB
• PowerPoint (ppt) - 620KB
• Acrobat (PDF) - 544KB

Tomorrow evening, Tuesday 22nd April, I’m going to be giving a talk for Guernsey Software Developer Forum (GSDF) on TeamCity, a continuous integration system from JetBrains.  The talk will take place at the offices of Rawlinson & Hunter, Trafalgar Court, 3rd Floor, West Wing, St Peter Port, Guernsey at 6pm.  I have posted a map and plan of the office on the GSDF forum.

This is the first time I have done a presentation since my first year at university.  I’ve finished putting together my slides and I’m just taking a short break from putting together a demonstration on using the system.  Hopefully I’ve prepared enough and will be able to convince even just one or two people that this is a good system to switch to, or even that they should be using continuous integration in the first place.

After the presentation I will be making the slides available online and I might even record a screencast if I can find (free) software to do it on a Mac.  If you’re in the area tomorrow come along.  It’s a free event and open to all.
