Video of my Meet.js Summit talk is finally online, so if you missed please let me know what you think about it. I have learned a lot from feedback at the conference and I have heard some great comments that I feel  add a lot of value to my talk. Important message from @krzychukula : Learn the language well and don't expect frameworks be solution for your laziness #meetjs16 — Mariusz Nowak (@medikoo) March 19, 2016 First, I really like the tweet by Mariusz Nowak. That's something that I haven't mention in the talk because I have assumed that people would do that before going for frameworks. Only when I've seen this tweet I've realized that it's not always the case and I should have emphasized that before moving to new tools and frameworks. I have advised people to use Editors instead of IDEs but many people told me later that they don't want to miss on refactorings and all the ease of use they provide. To me that was the exact reason why I wan...

Artur Skowroński  recommended me:  Want a Better Pitch? Watch This. by Andy Raskin  and I think it is so great and applicable to all kinds of talks that I want to help it get more popular. So the plan of presentation is going to follow these steps: Enemy - Problem Why now? - call to action Show how the world will look like without the problem Problems Evidence that you fixed the problem The image at the top is because it reminds me of Hero's Jurney . It has fewer steps but there is a lot of similarities. Especially #3 made me realize that grand vision of the future is something that I should have used in my talks.  The result at the start of the presentation makes a lot of sense actually. Everyone already knows that I speak about something because I probably fixed it and if you tell about it at the end then it might be hard for some people to see the bigger picture in the solution you're going to present. 

I head about Presentation Zen way before reading Presentation Zen Design  in 2014, but there was always something more urgent to do. Recently I started to think more about a long-term value of books and decided to evaluate my "want to read" list. As a result, I picked Presentation Zen that was on my list since 2008... Prepare. First chapters were about going analog while planning presentation. I have made that mistake many times, but now I see myself thinking with just paper and pen all the time. It really helps. Design. It's really good, but I would recommend reading  Presentation Zen Design  as well. It was really good for me to rehearse it, but the topic deserves more attention. Especially if you don't know much about design. Deliver. A lot of good ideas here. I know many of them, but still, good to be reminded that you shouldn't deliver your presentation in a dark room. The audience has to see you, to be able to understand you. Summary. I'v...

I really like this book. Many times I have compared it to  Design for Hackers . I would say they are really similar in way of making design more approachable. Of course "Presentation Zen Design" is more about using design in context of slides but most of the rules are the same in every context. After reading it I have good review-like feeling. It refreshed my knowledge from "Design for Hackers". I really liked Japanese and 'Zen' references in a book. It is really astonishing how 'Zen' art forms and rules can inspire our own presentations and designs. One thing to remember: "Rule of Thirds". Basically in every aspect of art, design or photography if you put your subject in the center it will look boring. If you put main subject in 1/3 on the right or left then it will look much more professional. That's it. Rating: 9/10

Go to hell Flash, we don't need you anymore! GothamJs from michalbu Another great presentation from organizer of onGameStart Conference . I really like his style of presentations, and there are additional surprises in code for polish readers ;) More about conference:  http://gothamjs.com/schedule/index Please let me know if there will be available videos from this conference.

Interesting presentation about Node.js in practice:

http://imakewebthings.github.com/deck.js/ This is library to create presentations using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Great about it is support for HTML5 tags, and some default styles. There are modules to make presentations better, like navigation or displaying number of slides.

Really impressive presentation about speed of jQuery in real life usage and how to write jQuery code that would be fast. Author also encourage to use http://jsperf.com/ for testing speed.

Object Oriented CSS View more presentations from Nicole Sullivan Interesting presentation with similar rules like CSSLint. Makes me thinking how this can cooperate with SASS/LESS adny if OOCSS or SASS/LESS really solves CSS problems?

Fathom.js is a JavaScript library that can help You in creating slides with HTML and CSS. Fathom.js is a jQuery plugin and is hosted on github.
