Slides, slides, slides

I’ve been doing presentations for a while now, so I decided to open a SlideShare account to publish all the slides I’ve created over the past 5 years. SlideShare has a great Flash-based viewer that you can embed in web pages, so I’ll be using it a lot now. Check out my presentations, feel free to download them and also to use them if you find the contents useful for you (they are distributed with Creative Commons licenses).

Having said that, I’m also announcing that the slides (and sample application) of yesterday’s JAOO geek night presentation in Zürich are also available in the Projects section of this blog, and here goes the SlideShare player with those slides:

AJAX Presentation

Today I have done a tongue-in-cheek presentation of AJAX to my colleagues, including the historic background, the technology and the buzzwords. It also includes some code samples, compatible with Firefox, showing how to implement a synchronous and an asynchronous connection with the XmlHttpRequest component.

I did the original presentation with Keynote, and all I can say is: WOW! This application is light years away from everything else. It took me longer to figure out what to do than to do it. Powerpoint is such a pain in the … that this was a welcome switch. I just exported it to PDF for sharing it with you.

You can download everything right here! Feel free to tell me what do you think in the comments below.
