I attended both of Idan's talks at PyCon last year, and they were informative and inspiring. [1-3]
As someone new to attending technical conferences, I appreciate the recent focus on sharing good presentation techniques. It is easy to think that all of these inspiring speakers are just good at public speaking. But it turns out that most of these people just work really hard at getting everything right.
Posts like this inspire me to figure out exactly what my strengths are, and begin building meaningful presentations around those strengths.
