First User Group Presentation Completed

Just complete my first presentation for my local Hong Kong .NET User Group yesterday, well, the number of attendee/members is a little bit out of my expectation! The venue provide 40 seats to me originally, but it turn out over (approximately) 120 (when I look at the audience on stage) members come here!!

(Here, I'd like to thanks to the The Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE) - Department of Computing providing the venue and cooperation of increasing the room capability immediately for us!)

Based on the conversation between a couple of members and me after the presentation, I've noticed that... They're not quite satisfy for my presentation at all... the reason is "Too few codes", "To few demo", "You say too much", etc.

Yes, based on my experience in giving presentation to 'beginners', showing too many codes or demos is not cool, they feel confused and just like 'watching a cat playing a ball on sofa' - they've no much feeling or don't feel exciting about the demo/code, yes, I enjoy coding even on stage and a few of member may feel interesting, but the majority of beginnners who have no concept / idea about what I'm doing actually, well, but the situation is obviously changed now... Maybe I should change my mind and material for the next presentations...

Confused?! :(

    I was also one of the audience. It's also out of my expectation that so many friends came! I think one more thing that we should be aware when presenting to beginners, and that is not to use too many short cut keys during the demos. Beginners probably do not know what we've done when the screen just flash a few times ~
