Tipping against Time – Sara’s Visual Studio Tip Challenge

I’ve been known to talk fast when I’m excited in my Visual Studio presentations, and maybe even a little too fast. But what if I didn’t try to slow down? What if I actually tried to talk as fast as possible?

In a race against time, I will attempt to demo 101 Visual Studio Tips in 55 minutes for the  “What’s New in Visual Studio” session at the Visual Studio Launch Event in Mountain View, CA. And if I succeed, everyone in the audience will receive a free signed copy of my book Visual Studio Tips by MSPress.

Launch Event Details

Tuesday, June 15
1 PM – 5 PM
Microsoft Silicon Valley Campus

Registration for the event is first-come, first-serve at https://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032446405&Culture=en-US

Wish me luck!

    The key to speed is to be concise. There was a guy on my debate team in college who spoke in a slow Southern drawl that no one could keep up with because he would use three words instead of 15 to make his point.

    Sounds like fun!  A drive to Mtn View sounds like a nice diversion from the everyday.

    I did my own blog about some of the tips Sara did in this presentation.  It has some analysis on when/why you would use some of the tips and why they're useful to remember/memorize.  Hope you enjoy. www.pchenry.com/.../Default.aspx
