For the “Software Best Practices” seminars where I’ll be speaking in Ft. Lauderdale and Austin this week, I’ve provided several different ways of downloading the presentation materials. None of the material is copyrighted; it’s all “open source,” and you’re welcome to use it, modify it, share it with friends and colleagues, and collaborate with me to improve it in the days to come.
For a simple overview of the presentation, you can click here to download the one-page, 23-megabyte PDF version of the “mind-map” shown below. This is likely to make more sense after you’ve seen the full set of materials, but it’s a nice concise summary of the key elements of the presentation.
You can also click here to download a 9-megabyte PDF version of the 19-page presentation itself; all of the embedded hyperlinks have been preserved, so you can follow the references to wherever they lead you. You can also find this version on my Slideshare.net page, which makes it easy to share the material with other people in your own network.
If you’d prefer a Powerpoint version of the same material, click here to download the 18-megabyte Powerpoint file. If you’re lucky enough to have a Macintosh and iWork, then you can click here to download the 13.2 Keynote file of the same presentation. And finally, if you’d like to see the “collaborative” version (which is much uglier, but nevertheless sharable), click here to see the Google Apps version of the same material; if you actually want to modify this version, send me an email and I’ll add you to the list of collaborators.
Hopefully, this will be sufficient to let you view and access the materials in a way that’s convenient for you. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Meanwhile, enjoy …
