A curated collection of resources for public speaking at technical conferences and IT events.
Public Speaking Resources is a curated repository of guides, articles, videos, and tools designed to help individuals, particularly in the tech industry, improve their public speaking skills for conferences and events. It covers the entire process from finding speaking opportunities and writing proposals to creating slides and delivering engaging talks. The project aims to demystify public speaking and provide practical, actionable advice.
Software developers, IT professionals, and technical community members who want to start or improve their public speaking at conferences, meetups, and other tech events. It's especially valuable for first-time speakers and those looking to refine their presentation skills.
It offers a centralized, community-maintained collection of high-quality resources specifically tailored to technical speaking, saving individuals time from searching scattered sources. The structured approach and practical focus provide a clear path from novice to confident speaker.
A repository of resources about public speaking, specifically in the context of software development and IT conferences.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Curates a wide range of articles, videos, and tools from experts like VM Brasseur and Scott Hanselman, covering everything from proposal writing to presentation delivery, saving users from scattered searches.
Organizes resources into logical sections such as 'Finding a Conference' and 'Presenting talks,' providing a clear, step-by-step guide for speakers at any experience level.
Encourages contributions via a detailed CONTRIBUTING.md file, allowing the repository to grow and evolve with new insights and materials from the community.
Includes specific tools like carbon.now.sh for code snippets and demoshell for live demos, offering hands-on aids for presentation preparation.
As a community-curated list, there's no explicit vetting process, so some linked resources may be outdated, low-quality, or irrelevant, requiring user discretion.
Primarily a static collection of links; it doesn't provide exercises, quizzes, or feedback mechanisms, limiting hands-on learning for beginners.
While it claims applicability beyond tech, most resources are tailored to software development conferences, making it less useful for general or business public speaking.
