Wow. I'm all energized about the talk I just finished at the Visual C# user group.
The talk was divided in two:
First part was regular expressions. It went great!
I was so nervious at first, but when I actually stepped up and started talking, everything sort of “flowed”.
When I demoed how I'm parsing a log file and turning it into XML and then search on it, There was even some clapping. Imagine that :)
The second part was about plugins, and it went pretty well too. A bit less excitement because this is a harder subject, but over all people seemed to get the idea and responded well to the code examples.
A few glitches:
The lecture started almost 20 late
There were some technical problems connecting my laptop to the projector
Hopefully these were small enough not to cloud the overall lecture quality.
I did get a few suggestions:
With the Regex lecture, start out with a demo of parsing the log file and then dive into the rest of the material, instead of doing the demo in the end. What do you think?
The plugin lecture went too deep. THe part about passing EditorContext to the plugin was a bit too much to handle. What do you think?
If you were in the lecture I'd be happy if you provided me with feedback so that I can learn from past mistakes.
